Elder Dalton David: One week left in the MTC

So my letter is going to be a little short this week just because almost every day is the exact same. Wake up, study, eat, study, teach an "investigator" , study, eat, more study and then it is already time for bed. In between all of the studying and learning how could you not expect us to find something fun to do to take our minds off Spanish and all. So what we have invented, is leaf races. Yes leaf races. In the middle of all the apartments or classrooms there is a man-made stream that has a bit of speed to it. So each person picks their winning leaf to enter into the race and may the fastest leaf win haha. I've found that the freshly picked leaves tend to cut through the water faster than the dead leaves. Yes I know its dumb but if you know me, then you know being in a class room for more than an hour or so is torture, and we are in class for 16 hours. The second event we have is for height and duration of leaves. Outside the classes there are 2 A/C units with the fans on top side by side. So we take again a winning leave and throw them on the fan and see whose stays in the air the longest and goes the highest. Dead ones work better for that. Now I'm experimenting with the maple leaf tree seeds, the ones that start spinning when they fall, It's fun okay. So other than messing around last night I'd say one of my best friends that I've made here told us he's going home. I'm going to miss him and hope he'll be alright. This week our district has gotten into playing soccer during our gym time every day. We did earlier this morning also. Lucky for me I have an uncle I was able to learn from so its coming in handy. Never thought I would like soccer this much but hey at least when I come home I'll be in good shape. Well I love you all and hope you have a great week!
