Week 2: The MTC

My email from dad wont open so i have no idea what it says, but im sure it is full of lots of wonderful advice and goodness, so if you could please copy it off and send it via Dear elder that would be fantastic.
 Before i forget, do not send the bike box. been looking into stuff and my mission is strictly driving. But in about a year some areas could be bike because of all the new little children coming in. Also i have my flight info so here it is.
We leave SLC at 715 in the am on the 7th. we then hit up detroit and fly from detroit right into manchester. So be ready for a phone call sometime very early in the morning before 715 i will call the home phone. I bought a phone card here at the mtc bookstore so you dont need to worry about that. Ok so ill try to remember all the questions that have been asked, but you know me, im not very smart. The temple was closed last week cause of the holliday and it is also closed to day cause of the holliday, and next monday we leave at 4 in the morning so i wont be abel to attend the temple here in prove, its kinda a bummer. But o well i didnt want to get BYU disease anyway casue that would be no bueno. I get to go to the gym every day except for sunday for an hour. I play some pretty intense bball most days. I have kind of made a name for myself on the court here so thats kind of fun, but we havae to be careful that we dont get to intense, cause me and my poly buddies have a tendancy to do that.
Every night from 930 nto 1015 i do pushups pullups situps and some stairs for legs workout. Getting a hair cut on thursday so we shall see how that goes. This morning the elders down the hall from us hit the field they were going to alaska. i made really good friends with two of them so it was sad to see them go. Elder nielson from nephi was the nicest kid ive ever met, he played football in hs. Elder thai a poly played football for a year at usc, well he redshirted, but decided to come on a mish and they took his scholarship away. he runs the 40 meter in 4.3 seconds, freaky fast. really gonna miss them.
The computers here are stupid so i wont put ony pics on the email but i shall send the card home in a letter today. Dont lose it, and post the pics on fb so jos can see them. I havent killed Elder Hales yet, but at times i have come very close to doing so. its a good thing i have the rest of the district or he might be dead. But i am learniing to love him for the wierdo that he is. He and i are new hamp along with elder lund, caserio, staupher and jensen, the rest of them aare going to detroit. we joke that they will probably get shot for being smart butts. I have such a strong love for elder manu, he reminds me sooooo much of george tupps. I showed him pics of the tupps fam the other day. He will be a great missionary and i wish he was coming to the hamp.
Im glad aubs talks was good, and i hope i get to do curb duty, but idk how that all works. I cant wait to hit the field ecause this place is rough it really is. i wish i could see you before cause then you could see how much i have already changed in ust two short weeks. i feel i have learned more about the gospel in two weeks than i learned my entire life. I dont get to play ball with bob and pablo they have different schedules, but i usually seem them when we are chowing it up in the lunch room
. Im sure i have missed some questions and i am very sorry. im still new to this email stuff. i promise they will get better over the next two years. But i love you guys a whole butt ton. more than i knew when i was at home. so many things in our lives that we take for granted this gospel is the greatest gift we could ever be given, please dont forget that. Check on jos once in a while for me.
love you guys.
Elder Zilles.
Ps. Im so sosososos excited for baby nugget, i think the district gets sick of me talking about this little baby that isnt even close to being born yet.
