He also asked me to collect snail mail addresses because that will be his main form of communication with his friends and most of the family. His phone will still be functioning for a few days so you can text your mailing address to his phone or email it to our family email or the email address he was using prior to the mission.

Family and Friends,
The MTC is such an extraordinary place! Every second is
filled with the Spirit and hard work. There is hardly ever a moment of
unscheduled time! Our language studies are amazing and blessed from on high! I
can honestly say that I believe I have learned more in 5 days of studying the
language and SYL (speak your language) or FSL (Falar sua lingua) in Portuguese
than I did in 2 years of high school Spanish!
Do not listen to what anyone says. MTC food rocks! I am
totally going to miss these awesome meals and epic amounts of Chocolate milk,
Orange Strawberry Mango Juice, and pretty much the best food ever! Randy, the Orange
Every day is awesome! We have like 3 hours of language
study, a bunch of "class" time and "additional study time".
So surprisingly enough almost all of our time is left up to us to utilize! It
really follows Bishop Biggs message, "You get out of it only what you put into it!" it is
a blast and for anyone that is coming to the MTC just work hard and make it to
your "First Sunday" everyone says it gets better after that, I think
it just gets more normal and stuff but Sundays are amazing!
We got to listen to Brother Swenson! Bryson, you are going to
love him! He has been called as the Brazil MTC president! He is so funny and
kind! I cannot wait for you to meet him! He gave us advice and asked if he
could speak to us as our "Grandpa"! He is loving and funny!
Also for "Movie Night" my district went into
"Character of Christ" by Elder Bednar! It was so amazing! I don’t
know if you all have access to it but if there is any way you can see it I
would challenge all of you to! We almost didn’t get to see it because the room
was so packed! Everyone was standing in the back because all the chairs were
taken. I sat on the floor! They had to ask some missionaries to leave for fire
hazard reasons! It is that good!!!!
Also on Sunday we all went to choir practice! We will be
singing tonight in the Marriott center for Tuesday Night devotionals! It is an amazing
song about the pilgrims and the revolution. It tells of the vast faith and trials
our ancestors endured to give us what we have. I believe it is called Faith of
our Fathers! It rocks!
I miss you all and love you all! The days fly by in a blur! It
feels like I have known my district forever, but I have only known of each of their
existence for a total of 6 days!
Elder Brent Hakes reported with me and he has the same meal
schedule so I see him all the time! The other day i ran into Hermana Biggs! So
cool to see some people from home! I hope to run into Elder Brandon Clark if he
isn’t already transferred to the Spain MTC!
This work is blessed and called of God! I love it and know
it is a blessing in my life! I hope to here form you all and hope that your
lives all rock!
Love,
Elder Kanaga
