19 more days in the MTC

I ship out in 19 Days!! it is going to be so pazzo (crazy) the language is great I can understand a lot speaking is more difficult! A lot of new friends are here, it's nice. The food isn't very good and my ankle is still swolen haha but I don't want to stop playing basketball because that's the only thing keeping me sane right now haha.
  P-days are amazing! oh and were studying the Italian BOM every morning, great way to start the day off! My hair is super long haha It's great!! No one care's at all but I'll go get it trimmed later today or next week probably. I need to get to Italy, I already love it there and I haven't been. Well take care love you all!! Buon Giorno!!
love anziano Herrin

WE FINALLY HEARD FROM TAYLOR!

Just so you all know, they no longer give the elders a pday their first week in the MTC. I wish I had known that before I freaked out. Our bishop was kind enough to call the MTC for me last night to find out why I hadn't heard anything, and they informed him of the change and told him to let me know it would be really soon. So Finally TODAY(over one week later) we heard from him. He informed us in his email that he had sent us a letter, our mail came minutes afterwards and there was a letter in there that had been sent several days earlier it had just  had some problems in the mail which is why we didn't get it sooner. I feel much better now, (I also just talked to ANTHONY!!!!! He's in Texas). So here's what Taylor had to say:

Dear mia mamma
Ciao!! The MTC sorta sucks but its alright haha I know a lot of kids here so thats pretty cool;) Anthony comes home today that is insane!! So obviously my P-day is on thursday but anywho we just got back from the temple so that was nice! The time here goes by super quick so that's really nice because I just want to get to ITALY!! I started learning Italian the second I got in and we've been teaching a fake investigator since the third day in Italian haha I can't wait to skype you guys and show you what I know:) pretty much you just study eat classroom time eat study teach study gym only for 50 min. and than study eat than study till you go to bed so it's pretty ideal haha jk and we just got another bunkbed put into are room so it's going to be super crowded!! I got a letter today from grandma and one from Shaine yesterday so that was really nice! let me know how anthony is doing. The food is awful but unlimited chocolate milk so fill up on that. jk From my letter you'll get send that stuff with anthony when he comes to see me or whatever. We have a great district my companion is great we have some sticklers in are district but its good because they keep us focused but they're rule for rule so it gets annoying but ya know nothin you can do about it. real real sticklers haha I hope I have a native companion so I can pick it up that much quicker! The sleep thing was a pretty easy transition wasn't hard at all so that was really nice well take care send letters those are always nice to get because I can read them whenever haha pictures were great love you all!!
