Tuesday Greetings

(July 22)
hola como estan! i'm still here in the mtc and it's getting kinda lame. i'm so sick of the food! i loved it for a little while but they go on like a week rotation. i've just settled for makin myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich everyday. it's pretty lame. i'm getting a lot better at spanish. we taught the second lesson in spanish yesterday to this new group and it was amazing! we did so good it was sweet. it was their first week here and they taught us too. i hope that we didn't do that bad our first time. i dont think we did. i thought we did alot better. thats probably just cause i always think i do better than everyone at everything i do. hmm... probably because i do better at everything i do. well for the most part. i'm sure i could ride a bike better than ben! haha poor guy. mom maybe we're gonna need to put the training wheels back on for him when he goes down the big hills. i think they have mountain training wheels. just put him on those for a little while untill he's ready for the real stuff. oh i wish i was there to scrub his scars, i guarantee he was crying like a little girl! no offence to ben, and dont tell him i said this, but he's probably the biggest baby in the family. no not really. sorry i probably shouldn't have said that but i'm not gonna go erase it cause that would take too much time. ya right now i'm not thinking before i write and i'm not sure tahts the best of ideas. i love my brother no matter how big of a wuss he is! or no matter how bad he is at riding a bicycle. well here at the mtc there's nothing fun to do. and i'm pretty much out of cup of noodles so you may want to help me out there. well i've only got two weeks left so i'll probably be alright. so nevermind. i love playin basketball at gym, i'm so amazing, i think i'll go pro when i get back. actually i usually play 4 square so i'll probably go pro at that. that would be sweet! someday 4 square will be as big as football in america and soccer everywhere else i'm sure of it. and i'll be the michael jordan of 4 square. bad example, he didn't play football or soccer. how about pele, i'll be the next pele. k thats pushing it. i doubt you wanted to hear that so i apologize. but about here, the mtc. i'm still learnnin and stuff. still tryin to learn spanish, do my spanish speaking brothers have any advise for me? :) any way to speed up the process. i've got some of the verb trees memorized. it's horrible, i got the first vision memorized in spanish thats pretty cool i guess. even though we dont even use it anymore. cause were doin the second lesson now. my buddy elder hart is awesome i love him so much. he's my bff. (he made me write that) he really is pretty funny though. he's the creater of the infamous castleberry land, we've got a map of casltleberry land and a castleberry land creed. it's so cool. k i'm just gonna end this letter, were working here i swear. haha love you all so much. keep being awesome. and send packages cause those are sweet!

much love,

Elder Castleberry
