Hey there familia!
Well its been almost 3 days in the MTC and I am loving it. My companions name is Elder Hutton, and he is 5ft 2in. He is well, different. He had a speech problem for 3 years, and he has been inactive for awhile before deciding to serve a mission. I have been getting very frustrated because he doesn't really know how to teach or what to say. For instance, we were teaching this "investegator" yesterday and I started it out how God loves us very much and how he has a plan for us. yada yada yada. Anyways, after i finished talking, he was his turn to talk, and he jumped right into the book of mormon, didnt testy of anything i said, but he wouldnt stop talking about the Book of Mormon. He talked about Nephi, Lehi, Lamen and Lamuel and he kept going on and on until Captin Moroni. And once he stopped i didnt know what to say but my testimony. So after that we talked with this sister who was our "investegator" and she said that it started off good, but then we drowned her with wayyyyyy toooooo much information. The hardest part though is that no one can understand him, he mummbles everything. i have to ask him over and over what he said. So its pretty hard.

Anyways, i was called to be the District Leader, so that is pretty awesome. I have lots of responsibility over everyone, i have to interview them everyweek and report back to the President. Also, i have to meet with the President every Sunday and he gives me advice on things i should help my district on. Its funny though, im the youngest missionary in our district, yet i have to be the leader over everyone hahah. OH i forgot to tell you, my companion, Elder Hutton, is 26. haha crazy right?? yeah its a different experience to be at the MTC.
Today, Sister Maxfield was teaching us, and we have 40 mins to read this article about "Mark Mocha" you was a bank robber and how he robbed 4 banks, got caught and went to jail for 11 years. When he got out, his wife divorced him, and took his 3 daughters. So Sister Maxfield was pretending to be Mark Mocha, and every 5 mins 2 of us at a time had to go in and teach her, while the rest of the companionships watched behind a one way mirror, it was like something in Cops hahaha.But yeah we all failed miserably hahahaha and we paid the price for it. Sister Maxfield chewed us out, badly hahaha. She is the nicest person i have met, but man can she get mad. She is doing that because she wants us to learn from our mistakes haha.
Since i am the district leader though, i get to assign nicknames. muahahaha. Elder Perez and I bonded instantly, but his nickname is "Brown sheep" ahha. only 2 other elders have earned there nickname though, the other two are Elder Hutton aka Elder Tomato. because for gym he always wears a red shirt, red shorts, red socks and red shoes hahahhaa. the other one is Elder Rhine aka Elder Seth Rogan. you guys prolly dont know who that is, but he looks EXACTLY like him hahahahha. (he is an actor)
OH if you email me on dearelder.com, the MTC prints out the email and gives it to me throughout the day, no matter what day it is. so you can do that if you want.
well i gotta run and finish laundry and stuff hahaha, i will talk to yall in a week.
PEACE AND BLESSINGS!!
Elder Cawley
