First Official Email to Mom...

Hey mom its Jax! Its been so great here, my P day is Wednesday here so thats why I havent been too responsive.  I really have loved all the mail and packages, Ive been shareing with my Dom(home in Russian) Mates.  The food here is wonderful except for it starts to make you feel heavy if you eat to much.  My companions name is Elder Knorpp, he is so awesome.  We get along really well and are on the same page as far as obedience goes.  He is struggling a little bit with the alphabet and so we have both been working on it.  We have already learned so much Russian its crazy.  The days here feel like weeks and the first week here felt like a day, its really weird and you cant really understand what I mean unless you have been here.  The rest of the Elders in our zone our pretty chill. Most of the time we just mess around in Dom unless we have class.  The spirit here is really strong and I am so happy to be here.  God has been speaking to me through music this week. I was unable to make it to choir, so I just showed up on Tuesday for our devotional.  For some reason this whole week Id had Lead Kindly Light stuck in my head and I couldnt shake it so I just sang it all week and annoyed everyone, guess what we sang in the devotional?? Lead Kindly Light!!!!!!  I had no idea but the Lord had been preparing me to sing for the devotional.  Guess who the speaker was?  Dallin ​H. Oaks, we were all so lucky and surprised, they broadcast it world wide to all the other MTC's.  My daily schedule is pretty much Wake up, eat, class, eat, additional study, class, gym, eat, class, plan, sleep. We went to the temple this morning and it was really cool, I liked it alot.  A couple of the Elders in my zone played Ultimate, unfortunately its banned for being to dangerous, yet they let us play soccer.  I only saw Abby once, and I didnt have a chance to get a picture with her.  Let me know if the pictures dont work, the system here is really complicated and I cant figure out if it will let you see it yet. I miss you all so much and wish I could be home sometimes.  Tell Kaestli and Cam i only have 107 weeks left!  Tell all the kiddos good luck with school and tell Traci good luck with her job!  Im so happy for her and am so excited for her!
