Elder Stanley Houston Rosander

The days here don't necessarily go by fast they just all clump together because we do the same thing every day. It is getting pretty cold I may need to buy a jacket . I already had to buy sweats because we aren't to do service in shorts here for some reason. My flight to Salt Lake was fine and Russ took me and Karisa to a buffet. sorry I didn't send pictures sooner but the computers here are from the dinosaur era so I had to buy a converter and also because they pretty much block everything going in and out of them so it was hard to send pictures...anyway I got that all figured out but there is just not much to take pictures of. I got my debit card today but how am I suppose to activate it? I can't use phones! Did you guys send my visa stuff yet? everyone keeps joking that I will probably have to go to California for a little bit until it comes. They didn't do anything for Halloween in fact I didn't even know it was Halloween. They said they might have a big feast her for Thanksgiving but the food isn't that great anyway. There are a lot of options so I am trying to eat s healthy as I can. I see the other elders eat like 5 doughnuts and it's gross. Everything is kinda fatty here so I usually just eat the fruit and noodles or Hispanic food. Dear Elder is a great way to write because I can get the letter the same day. I can't write unless it's Monday but I can receive and read letters any day of the week. Hum you said something about a care package? I don't think that's necessary I'm not sure what's in them but I bet it's just a bunch of useless stuff and sweets...I don't need any of those..in fact I don't need anything that I can think of...the only things I want are some more socks to match my blue suit and maybe more ties but neither is needed. It is suggested to wear our suits every day but I only have the one suit so most of us don't. You know I hate suits so I only wear it when it is mandatory like Sunday and Tuesdays. The MTC kind of sucks but who would have known you just have to have a good attitude and it make things 10X better! Although it is kinda gross here the showers and bathrooms are really nasty as well as the residence but oh well I'll be out of here in no time!
