December 9, 2009-Letter

Dear my awesome parents,
Hello! So, I got your package if you didn't get that. It was awesome, but I want more Dr. Pepper! I really miss that! Ha, Ha. But everything else was awesome! So, to answer some of your other questions...yeah, that's cool if you send me another memory card. I'll take lots of pictures for you and everybody!
There is 11 people in our district/classroom. We have 4 sister missionaries and they are going to my mission. But, it's only me and Elder Williams going to Oklahoma from the elders in our district. But, the classroom next to us has a bunch of elders gong to Oklahoma. It's weird we're not in the same district. But, everybody else in our district is going to North Carolina. They're way cool, but it's sad that we're not going to the same place.
Our room, we just have 3...yes, you heard me right, 3. It was just us, but another missionary...Elder Tyler or Elder Broken Shoulder (as we call him). He broke his shoulder or something, so he got delayed, for that reason he's in our classroom. He's a little weird, but not that bad. He's been here for 4 weeks, so he just doesn't do anything, so it's kind of frustrating. But hopefully he gets to leave soon.
My companion's name is Michael Williams Jr. He said he knows where Michelle lives and everything. So that's way cool.
I can't believe its been over a week! It's crazy! But I love it here.
And yes, I get gym almost everyday, which is awesome. But it's only for like an hour and guess what, I've lost 6 pounds! Cool, huh?
Well, I'll probably write an email on Tuesday, so watch for that. That will probably be the next time you hear from me. So, DON'T freak out. Well, I have to go and study. Thanks for the letters! I like the dear elders, they get here the same day at night, but there awesome and I love it. I got a letter form Jerilyn. I was awesome and some dear elders from Ky and Jon. Well, got to go. Talk to you soon!
Love, Elder Downs
p.s You're crazy and silly and I want more Dr. Pepper!
