FIRST MTC LETTER!!! August 2, 2011

(This is the guy Travis is referring to in his letter below.)

Hey Guys! My P-Days are on Tuesday so look forward to hearing from me then. I miss you guys a ton and I loved reading your messages. I guess I'm suppose to write the Ward sometime so you might be getting that letter sooner or later. I hardly have any free time. I guess my District (or class) is in a Pilot Program for Spanish. We had to teach an "investigator" on our second day in Spanish. It's difficult. I know exactly what I want to say but I have no idea how to say it. Somehow we get our point across. They want us to stop speaking English as soon as possible. I don't feel like I'm really getting it yet, but at the same time, I'm using more Spanish than I ever have. The Elders y Hermanas in my class are awesome. (threw in some Spanish there) It seems like we've already been through so much together, although it's only been a week, It's like we've known each other forever. Remember the guy we met at Salt Lake who was going to Argentina and said he knew a Drew Tingey going to my same mission? My companion is Elder Tingey. He is from Idaho Falls (Paul should approve) and was a triple jumper on the BYU track team. It seems like he knows everybody in the MTC because we’re always stopping and saying hello to people. I'd say we are getting along pretty well too. He's a really cool guy. The other elders are great guys too and it would take too long to describe all of them. I miss you guys and I hope to hear from ya soon!
-Elder Travis Myers


Mom- Hey mom. I love you so much and just want you to know I'm trying my best to learn the language and I can't find enough hours in the day. I have to go to the temple pretty soon but I must say, that the study we did before we left, helps alot. I've already been teaching others. Love ya!

Dad- Dad. It's been good. I know I would tease you guys about the Texan accent, but people are starting to catch me using it. The other day I said "iten't that thuh fee-ild" when I meant to say, "Isn't that the field?" All is well.- Hurrah!
