hi ma.
so thanks for all the dear elders and showing my friends how to use it. they write quite frequently. we walk around the temple on sundays and do sessions on thursdays. I eat at every meal (theres alot of good varietys) and i have a pb sandwich like everyday. and my farts smell really bad. so because im emailing you, i wont send letters cuz it saves stamps and stuff. i could use some candy for General Confrence, so that would be nice....like really nice. I can follow so much German. I understand most of it, and i think im starting to speak it faster. On the monday after GC, our oldest dirstikt leaves for Frankfurt. OH. BY THE WAY. I wasnt sure if you were aware, but they made our mission bigger. We extend from the France/Netherlands border to the Poland/Czech border. Its the entire middle of Germany. Oh, and Frankensteins castle is in my mission, so im taking pictures. But yeah, the oldest distrikt leaves, then we become the middle distrikt and the new germans come in.on tuesdays we do our fake lessons, and in 2 weeks we start them in all german. My mission president is really nice. ive got 10 min. left and i dont know what to write. Oh. the heat is getting to my nose (ive had 4 bloddy noses since ive been here), so we're getting something for our room so i dont die of bloodloss. i started readingJesus the Christ to try to put me to sleep at night, but it hasnt work yet. I sleep really well. its still really hot here, but the utah mics. say it sound be getting cold like next week, so im excited. down the 8 minutes. can you send me shalese's house address? that would be very nice. And tell sis. Giminez to tell Giselle that my dorm is 16M and our class is 10M, and i go to the TRC on tuesdays at 4, and my meal times are at 8:15-8:45, 1-1:45 and 6-6:45, incase shes ever around. I saw and talked to Bryan Wagner (i think i told you that already) and i saw the other CT boys. It stinks ill be in Germany when Jolyssa get here. But shes only here for like what, 3 weeks? We leave the MTC on Nov. 16th, and i can call home, so be ready that day.5 minutes. thats all that i can think of. thanks a lot for the letters & care packages. my roomies love them lol. Well, i guess ill message you next week! thanks for the flag and ties! Ich liebe dich! Tschuess!

Hello Family,
I am good. You guys write me so much, I can't get to all your letters, but I'm trying. I only get 1 day to write, so it gets kind of busy. So far I have seen Ryan Copiano, Kyle Lavitzen and Bryan Wagner. It's really weird weather wise out here. It's hot and sunny all the time. Its only rained once. It's slowly getting cooler. I hear it gets cold fast, so I'm excited. Today is gorgeous. I'm writing this on a park bech on campus with my district. They're so cool. Our President says we may be the best district he's had. German is getting harder to learn and we only have 8 more weeks to learn it. Our 1st 4 weeks we have to do the 1st and 2cd discussions in English, then our last 4 weeks it has to be in German. Sacrament is all in German. Even our talks (which we have to write every week)are in German. I hope I catch it fast enough to go over with. So, you should send me a big German flag for our room, cuz we want one. The food here is pretty good. I eat and poop every day :), but I'm always tired. I'm wearing regular clothes today. We went to the Temple today too. It was nice. Theres one Sister Missionary that I find absolutely gorgeous. Thats very distracting, but oh well, I'm a guy! It happens. So, I have to go do laundry now. It's 3:45 here, so yeah..Tell Jake to run faster (referring to Jakes cross country time), Tell Chad NOT TO TOUCH any of my stuff. Tell everyone else I say hi. I wrote to the guys already so I'm waiting for a reply. Oh and Elder Berthalson sent me a care package..m&m's, powerade,cookies,beef jerkey and Take 5's. Send me candy and ties. I need cool ties for the tie trade in our building. Well, I think that's it. If I need something, I'll let you know via mail /email. Well see ya later! like in a week (cuz I'm busy).
Oh, so , I can call home when I leave for Germany, So I'll let you know. k Bye
Oh, and heres what my schedule looks like:
wake @6, class :7-8:15, Breakfast: 8:15-8:45, class: 8:45-1:00, lunch: 1-1:45, gym: 1:45-3:25, class 3:45-6, dinner: 6-6:45, class 6:45-9, sleep :10
PS Can you tell the guys how to use dear Elder? I forgot to mention it to them.

Alex's email is alex.madore@myldsmail.com
Our First letter from the MTC
Dear Mom..and others that might read this,
Hi. So the past 2 days have been pretty chaotic, but not enough that I can't handle it. There are 2 main reasons I'm writing: 1. It was an assignment from our branch president and 2, apparently I never got my TDAP shot or it was never recorded, so I am sending a pink slip w/some directions, so it would be nice to get that within the next 2 weeks.
Other than that, I'm in a classroom all day. The food is really good. My district is awesome. We're already pretty close. My dorm is me, My companion Elder Anderson from salt Lake, Elder Peterson from Seattle washington and Elder walker from Australia. The showers are nice. It's not a lot of walking ..YET. And I couldn't remember your email, so I had to email Shalese for it so she'll prolly ask you for it. Other than that, its all good so far.Its almost 10 pm here, so I'm gunna do stuff. okay, talk to ya later.
-Alex
(ps, letters will prolly get longer).
