HEY MAMA im sorry this is sooooo late they gave us like an hour to write a short letter home but i couldn't get into my email.  how are things???hows everyone???i love and miss you all sooooo much!!!!  the MTC is BOMB tho seriously i like to think of it as like a spiritual prison with all you can eat food XP!!!  but seriously tho don't be afraid to send me food cause we eat at like 4 and end up in bed at like 11ish.  i love my companion hes a pretty cool kid from Florida named Elder Christiansen.  my group of guys are seriously amazing too.  my companion and i share a dorm with these two awesome elders named jones and lawsom and its amazing how quickly i have come to love the men im with all day everyday.  the MTC is also super challenging tho.  the first day they like through you into the language and the gospel.  my companion and i already have two investigators that we have taught multiple times in FREAKING SPANISH!!!  our first investigator carlos is a PAIN!!!  its soooo hard to teach him and even harder to love him but were doing our best and our other investigator is named elias and hes DOPE...Lingues es muy real!!! the gift of tongues is very real.....its insane i've learned more Spanish here in one week than i have in 3 years at school.  but the mtc inst all fun and games along with the difficulty of learning a new language and teaching it comes the food.  all though its pretty good and theirs a ton of it it does something to your bauls (bowls) that i've never had happen before...XP and there's the worst and best thing about the CCM....the Hermanas(the sisters)....it is SOOOOOOOO hard not to be able to flirt or hug or basically be attracted to SUCH BEAUTIFUL AMAZING DAUGHTERS OF GOD!!!!  its freakin terrible all i want to do when i get back is find a return missionary and marry her sweet self!!!!and yeah the mtc also has these awesome Sunday meetings and Tuesday devotionals!  Like yesterday we got to hear from on of the 70's!!!!Elder Zaballos and his wife are seriously cool!  hermana zaballos reminded me of you mom she was so sweet and funny and totally related the gospel to the lion king it was just great!

CRAZY STORY!!!!the second day i was here we were talking with our mission president and he said that he believes that heavenly father walks the hall of the mtc and assigns each companionship an angel of protection.  so im in bed and in the middle of the night i wake up at random and i was like awake awake i turned over on my bed and there were two people standing in the middle of our dorm room watching over us.....FREAKIN CRAZY RIGHT!!!!!!!!?????????

also they confiscated both of my leather man knifes at the airport.....so when you get the chance can you send me one and like a bunch of snacks and pictures pleaseeeee:)

love you all so much!!!!!! i think and pray for you everyday.

Love, Elder Jackson
