MTC week #1 and #2

Note:   Andrew's first email home was 2 sentences long.  "Mom,  I wrote you a letter. You should receive it in a day or two.  Love, Andrew"   (Although I was disappointed at such a short email, he did make up for it by hand writing a long letter home and to many other friends and family.  He redeemed himself the 2nd  week)                

    WEEK #2:  "Sorry about last week!  It was kind of hectic trying to figure out the new system with the washers and dryers, so trying to type an email was pretty stressful.  BUT.  I have it figured out.  Anyways, y'all wanted to know more about my collega (companion), roommates, district, etc.  Anziano Hays is my comp, and is from Simi Valley California.  I think it's in Ventura County.  He's super smart and knows a lot about the Gospel so I couldn't have a better first comp.  The YSA Elders lived with him back home, so he's gone on splits with them a bunch.  I'm sorta wishing I would've done that."    
      "I've been playing basketball every day in gym.  It's amazing how good of shape basketball can keep you in just by playing 5 or so games to 7 points.  I'm getting better I think.  I'm having less and less travels and swats, and more and more 3 pointers and drives to the basket.  Makes me wish I would've played basketball in high school. "
     "We have started teaching in the TRC (Teaching Resource Center) and also started teaching a Progressive Investigator played by our teacher Brother Tate (Fratello Tate in italiano).  His name is Giusepe.  He's Buddhist and doesn't believe in God.  Pray for him will you?"
  "Anyways, the red clock in the top right of my monitor is starting to near zero, so I'll finish this off.  I love it here in the MTC.  It's weird to think that I'm pretty much 1/4 done here.  Before we know it, we'll be off to Milan!  I know this Church is true, and I'm so happy to be able to serve the Lord and il popolo d'Italia.  Vi amo e ci vediamo!"
