Elder Munoz: Another Letter From the MTC

Here is part of a letter that Derek emailed last week. He mailed us some pictures that I will post soon.

Hello again family!

i'm just hanging out in the dungeons of the laundry room. it's WAY exciting haha. well every week seems to go by so fast. i'm always busy, and things are intense. BUT it's great of course. i'm enjoying myself. some days i feel so beat though because of all that i'm learning. i am loving the spanish, and i'm trying to practice more!

so just so you know, it is beautiful here! i look at the mountains everyday. it's awesome. BUT it's freezing! i'm a texas kid! right now it's snowin out there! i guess i need to get used to it because i am going to chicago... i heard something about it possibly snowing in texas?? what is that about?? am i gonna come home and have to more even MORE south? aye... it's not too bad... snow is fun! different from what i'm used to.

did i tell you about the pinata annie got me? like dad wrote in his email to me, sometimes it's hard to remember if i've said something the week before... well i'll tell you again and maybe it'll be a little different. okay so annie sent me a pinata for Valentines! how cool is that?? everyone was jealous. haha i had some people coming in my room to take pictures and i didn't even know them! it was a missionary pinata with an Elder Munoz tag. it was homemade too. i sent some pictures and i think you should get them real soon if you haven't already. it had all sorts of candy and things inside. i felt really bad busting it open though... haha it's still in my room.

so the unity between the district i'm in is really great. i love everyone in my class! sometimes people can get on my nerves.... but that's okay right? haha. my zone is really fun too. i've met so many people that have been good influences on me. everyone has their own personal experiencse and some of them are really personal, but through their adversity they have obtained amazing testimonies! luckily i don't think i cried this week about anything haha :) but there's always next week.

Love,
Derek
