Cory's First E-mail Thursday May 28, 2009

Well.. today is my 8th day in the MTC! kinda crazy huh? It's going by so so fast. The first few days went by pretty slow but lately time is just flying. Today is my first P-day so I finally got a chance to set up my e-mail. The new missionaries came in yesterday so we are no longer the "new guys" But overall I'm having a blast.. it took some getting used to but I'm learning to love it. I'm learning so much about the gospel and stuff that it's not even funny! We're seriously having the gospel thrown at us like 24/7. But I'm having a good time! I decided that you guys are the slowest writer backers in the WORLD. I sent you a letter like last freaking Thursday! I'm kinda dissapointed about that.. just kidding! Funny story... The other day me and some other elders were walking to gym and these german elders ran by us and my companion said something about germans! So one of the German elders looked back while he was running and he smacked right into a pole! fell down and everything! Probably the funniest thing I've seen in my life. Oh and mom did you take that cd over to Ryann? If you did how did it go? And don't worry I've been taking a lot of pictures and writing in my journal every night.... :) There's not too much else to tell you guys except write me back with whatever questions you have.. And hurry and write me back! So slow! But how are things back at home? Is everyone surviving without me? I hope so ha ha. Is April still alive? Let me know how everything is going at home! Tell tyler to give me some jazz and office updates! and tell Austin to keep up the free-running stuff and he'll be pro one day. And... tell Alex to do good in school and keep up the wrestling!! and tell Hailey good luck in school and everything else! ha ha. Love you all lots! Tell the boys they can write me every now and then if they want! Read your scriptures and pray morning and night! it helps. Love you all!! :) - Elder Ipsen
