First P-Day (Personal Day)

Hey guys,

So my P-day is gonna be on Thursday, but the first couple of days are different from a normal schedule, so I don't actually get a real P-day until a week from today. They still let us e-mail today though, but only for a couple minutes just so you don't have to go a over a week without hearing from me and start freaking out. Things are going ok, the language is hard but I think I'm starting to get a hang of the alphabet which is huge. Probably should have tried a bit harder on that before I got here. I brought a book back to my room to catch up on stuff last night, but it turns out the book I grabbed was the only one that didn't have any info on the alphabet so I still haven't had a chance to really study it. 

My companion is Elder Christensen, I found out this morning that today is his birthday! There's actually only two other missionaries in my room, Elder Hill and Elder Baxter. So far we've been getting along just fine. As far as I know I'm by far the oldest one. At least the three other missionaries in my room are straight out of high school.

The food is fine, it's really just exactly like the BYU cafeteria so nothing to complain about--I've only had two meals though. They have vending machines around but so far I haven't really been that hungry. We have to eat dinner at like 5:00 though so by the end of the first night I was pretty hungry. 

We do exercise 5 days a week, and I think I have like 4 total t-shirts so I'll probably be ok. 

Love you guys and I'll talk to you next week!
