HI Parentals!

       Hey thanks for all the dear elders I'm smoking the district in the amount of letters its great. thanks for the donuts they were a  huge hit! The MTC is getting less and less desirable but it's good enough i learn so much and i understand the spirit so much better now. I'm really anxious to leave, I have a TRC investigator and i'm really having a fun time teaching him and I have a Potential Investigator one to who said they'd get baptized so it's fun seeing progress even though it's fake but I'm learning. With that said i'm starting to feel really confident with teaching so i just want to do it for real now. I haven't felt home sick yet but i might start to in the field but hopefully not. 

       Answers to questions: we did service a little and we got the easiest job which was to fill the toilet paper and paper towels in the bathroom. I played basketball once but we mostly play beach volleyball. The days at first are really hard and long but with my district we laugh a lot so that really helps. My classes are pretty normal and we just learn about mind blowing things that i don't understand why we don't know these things before our missions. It was weird walking in as a missionary but great too. I was the very first missionary of the day to go in and get my tag and stuff. The shuttle ride was weird the taxi guy was like quizzing us about the BOM and knew nothing which was annoying but i met my companion on the shuttle which was cool but I didn't know he was my companion when we were on the shuttle.The food is okay. Role playing is almost your whole life here so yes ive done a lot of those. 

Im gad you liked the flowers! My plane leaves on tuesday and I have to get up at 230 to leave for it. I will be able to talk between 5 and like 10 so be ready for that and hopefully my plane wont be delayed and itll be in that time. 

Enough with the boring stuff... i saw a life changing talk on sunday it was awesome! it's really popular for those who have been to the MTC it is called the Character of Christ by Elder Bednar it's awesome and I've just learned and been blessed with so much knowledge of Christ and converting yourself to Heavenly Father and Christ and not the church and importance of hard study and desire to do the Lords work. Love you!

Hey! I'm a Missionary!

Hi my people!

       Hey people around here.. I mean Elders and Sisters keep calling me Elder Hoskins. It's cool though I

like it it means I'm a servant of God, it's very exciting. I'm really happy here! i got to the airport and got really happy. I've been learning a lot! I didn't know i was capable of learning so much so quick! The atmosphere here is very nice and it's the only place like it. i love my district we are all buddies and we all participate and work very hard, we get along very well. My companion is an amazing guy... *Elder we are best friends his name is Elder Leavitte. We just hang and study well together and our teachings flow really well. I wish our whole district could stay together for the whole two years. Oh and the sisters are great too. I've gained a greater testimony being here in only 3 days. Oh ya and fun fact for ya me and Elder Leavitte have matched tie color 3 days in a row... it must be meant to be. 

       I'm getting in shape too we are on the top floor of the dorm room and the top floor of the class room building i have a view of the "Y" from both windows. Each floor is the 5th floor. it's quite dandy. the MTC is very fun and peaceful but very hard work but the work is fun and sweet. speaking of sweet the donuts every day has been nice. The showers are waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better than described so that's good they are the best part of the day. My teachers are great and I'm learning a lot from them. our district almost falls asleep every class but we are trying and learning by the spirit, it's all because of the mornings. It's full of really long but busy days today has been better than the others, it hasn't taken as long but days can be as long as they want because I'm having a great time. 

     Love, 

           Elder Hoskins
