Hola!

Well, as of tomorrow, I will have been here for 3 weeks! How exciting. haha. I am pretty sure that after 12 weeks, I am going to be insane. Just the fact that since I have been here, we have already had two districts come and go, is kindof depressing. Oh well. Thank you for your letters in the last package. I think reading letters is my favorite part of the week, so keep them coming. In response to questions from said letters:

Kurtis - Sundays are just like every other day here. They don't feel like sundays, except for Sacrament Meeting. No, we don't go to the gym, but yes we do learn Cambodian, or Khmae, which is what it is really called. That is basically all I do here is learn Khmae because that is the most important thing right now. We sit in the same classroom for anywhere from 9-12 hours a day. It's pretty boring sometimes, and I have pictures of almost everyone in my district sleeping at one point or another. I got a sweet one of my companion with a three inch drool hanging from his mouth. I will be sending a picture of that when I get them printed off. haha. Also, that's cool that you and Kadin are having fun with my games. Hopefully you can beat Zelda before I get home. It's pretty hard, but you could do it.

Mom- Yes I have gone to the temple. We go every Tuesday, to the 3:40 session, except now that I am in the missionary choir (cause I am hoping they will use us in General Conference, since I will still be here for that) we will be going to the 2:40 session cause choir practice is during our normal temple time. We also get to go walk around the temple, and just kinda hang out there for a while every sunday. It's very nice to get off the MTC grounds for a while! haha.

Kasey - To be honest, no I am not missing home. I pray for the family every day, but I really don't miss it. Except for my Nintendo, I miss that a lot, so please don't break it. haha. My favorite experience so far has been when I shook President Monson's hand.......just kidding. I haven't seen any apostles yet, but we have a general authority devotional every tuesday night, so I am sure I will see one sometime.

Now that you have a new stove, there is no reason to not send me lots of junk food. That would be nice......... The olympics sound pretty cool too. When do they get over? I need an updated medal count too. How is BYU doing? I still haven't heard anything about them since I have been here. Also, I would like to know how the Jazz are doing too. It doesn't surprise me that Ambria is getting married. She's been dating that guy for a while now. That's cool though. If you see her, tell her I said hi.

Guess what? My finger is almost all the way better. I don't put bandaids on it anymore, so that tube of stuff you sent I haven't even used. I even played volleyball at gym yesterday! Yeah! It was so fun! Unfortunately, I can't extend my finger all the way, and can't close it all the way, and hopefully that isn't from the scarring, but I have a feeling it is. oh well, it is a pretty sweet scar! haha. I've got lots of those :) Well, I need to email Justin. I think I have been sending things to the wrong address before, so maybe he'll get it this time. haha. I like letters! Remember that. Love you all!!!!

Love,
Elder D. Hammer

P.S. we are learning to read and write the scribbly stuff this week, so I will hopefully be able to write a sweet letter next week! I am so excited.
