And now the letter!

"i finally got my email address. i went with a simple name so people could remember it. i hope you guys are all doing well. i mailed you something yesterday but i dont think you have gotten it yet. you said that you were gonna send a package in the mail?! if so.. please please pleaseeeee send me music..explosions in the sky. i also need a portable cd player to play it, and they shouldnt be too hard to find at target or walgreens. i dont need something fancy, just get a portable cd player that you would normally just use headphones on, and then ill just get speakers that plug into the headphone jack..no clock/cd player junk haha. today is P-day and its a very welcome day of rest. we went to the provo temple which was pretty cool. we still have to wake up at 6:15, but then we have a few hours of personal time so me and elder norton snuck a nap in. it was great! actually to be honest i slept horribly. but im so tired, that whatever little sleep i could get is welcomed with open arms. even though i mailed you a letter yesterday, the days are so long that i have no idea what i wrote. im trying not to over lap letters but its difficult to keep my stories straight. literrally just this second, elder perkins (my distric leader) brought in two more dear elder letters from you. just so you know, when you write long ones they have to break them apart into smaller letters, so on tuesday i got six all at once from the whole weekend. im glad you want to write me everyday but that seems a bit much hahaha...but if you enough information to write everyday then go for it.. i just think itd be hard for me at least to find enough information to send a letter for every day. i have been writing in my journal though! everyday! actually i might have skipped a day, but still, pretty dang good! today has been somewhat relaxing and somewhat busy, its elder nortons birthday (he turned 19) and its also the day all the new elders come in! im doing my laundry right now which is cool i guess. its more fun than sitting in a classroom at least. i dont know why it took so long for my letter to get to you. i mailed it thursday morning, the day after i came in here. your new letter also says that you already mailed my package, which is good still cuz ive been wanting my other nixon watch. if you get a chance though, have camilla or something burn my cds. i want them before i leave for toronto on the 9th cuz itll take like a month for me to get it through customs once im in toronto. if you cant find a cd player, juts send me the cds and ill buy something once im in the field.  ummm im not sure what else there is to talk about. i dont think ill gain 15lbs. i think ive gained a little weight..it sucks cuz it all goes to my face hahahaha..ive been watching what ive been eating though and eating a lotta salad. me and elder norton during gym time just ran around the feild for 45 minutes. we are also trying to figure cardio workouts in the room. they dont give us any time to do workouts in the MTC, but we still try at night. alright well i gotta go! love you..give out my email address to whoever wants it. or give me the emails of people you think i should write because your email address was the only one i remember. ha! have camilla give my email address to Jordan, Ryan, katie, or whoever wants it i suppose. oh! i got nicoles letter too. she called me muffin face? was it on my page or something or in what she wrote to camilla? haha she calls me that from time to time. ok now im really gonna go...haha bye! love you..."
