Just trying to fit in everything really quickly. lol Blake, you should tell Kyle to stay outside of my classroom in 17m, so that he can come up with me and take your sweater away from my room and also the blanket i have. lol I dont wanna mail them.And, nope i do not need anything else, i have it all good.

Hola Mi Familia Y Amigos.
WHatuppppppp!, So, this week was meh. Nothing to cool happened just the same old Class for 9 hours a day and stuff. But, i have recently stopped playing Basketball because the competition is sooo bad. So, i have recently been playing volleyball in my gym time. It is so dope. Me and Elder Laulusa ( who is in my district) and good. He is really good, played in HS and stuff, but i am picking it up quick. I love getting a solid spike. haha, but it has been tons of fun and more chill than basketball. We have started running to on P-Days, doing like 4 laps around the MTC so it is great. I was sucking air tho. lol But, as for my district and everything they are doing good. I was getting really annoyed by 3 of the Elders in the District, they were being really immature and just annoying. But it is a little better now. OHHHHHH, so my Elder has a Lightweight Ear Infection. So, we went to the doctors yesterday here at the MTC then we had to go and pick up perscriptions!! IT was in the OUTSIDE WORLD. So crazy! We walked like a Block towards BYU, I was hoping Blake would randomly drive by. haha But, it was great. My favorite meal in the cafeteria proly is the Biscuits and Gravy. Just goes to show that all of the other food is well......edible. haha Blake, what the heck is the RC? i have no idea. Also, i went to look for your TIE......and sadly i could not find it...:( And no, i havent seen kyle since i took that pic with him. But, i did see the guy who was in our ward who served his mission in mongolia. I have yet to see JC where does he work? which Building.....? But, other than that, it was just a really normal week here. Lots of spanish and all that other good stuff. Oh, and we got a new district. they are pretty chill. Oh, and DAD, you wanted to know the Presidents Whole name. It is President Gordon Brown....ring a bell? OHHHHH, and what the heck!!! Why did nobody tell me Jeremy Evans was in the DUNK contest!!!! AND WON!!!!! I was freaking out, my companions dad sent him a picture of Evans dunking 2 balls over Hayward! SICK. also, how did Hayward and Favors do in the Rookie Sophomore game? FIll me in with Dear Elders. But, gotta bounce now. Love yall. Hope everyone that is reading this is doign awesome. Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird.

7th Week at the MTC
Hello everybody. Another week in the books. It is the exactly same thing every week, so i am going to chit chat about Alex Boye!!! He gave the talk for our Fireside this past sunday! It was so SICK! He was making hilarious jokes, mainly about being black and liking chicken! haha so good. But other than that he just had a super good talk about never being negativeand always being positive! 2 Nephi 27:27 i think. and another scripture in Psalms, but it was just fantastic. His story was so cool! And of course he sang and was amazing! He first just sang a normal hymm, then he did his own little rendition of Be Still My Soul, it was soo good! He was walking around the whole gym singing it, going up and down the bleachers, haha so good though! It was his first time speaking at the MTC and i doubt that he get asked back again! haha. But not much is new, i still havent found blakes tie, Still trying hard with spanish and just working hard. Oh, but this past week i went into the outside world, about a block down from the MTC. SO SKETCH, lol it was awkward. My companion had to pick up some meds for an ear infection so we walked about 300 yards down the street. lol crazy. But overall, my district is doing good, and so is my companion. I have recently begun to play foursquare because Basketball is too easy, and lets just say there arent many people who play volleyball that can get it over the net, let alone hit it somewhat good. lol But otherwise in my reading i am almost done with 3rd Nephi, it is awesome and we all know why! :) But, it is great. Oh ya, and with my companion whenever we log onto computers we pretend like we were playing SC2, saying things like "Thor is here!", "Can't Build There.", "Need more Supply." "I'm supply blocked." Ghost Reporting.","Need more vespene Gas", and many more, it is great fun. lol Im sure Blake will be the only one to get it. lol But otherwise, i am doing great. My Visa already got through like the second week i was here, i still have to get one shot before i leave. I have heard nothing about my departure date, Nick Sessions left on the 3rd. I got all of his information and everything, he was doing good. Oh, and NO i do not need any more cnady. lol tooo mcuh. haha But thanks so much for all of the packages. Love yall and miss ya a ton too. "Black mail, black mail, jury duty, black mail, pink slip, jury duty, jury duty." :) The grinch!

Elder Welling's Aljazeera Interview at the MTC
Dear Family and Friends
Elders Watts and Welling along with Sisters Potts and Andersen have had a remarkable week. These 4 wonderful missionaries were selected to be interviewed last Friday by the Aljazeera Network which covers news around the world for the Islamic world and many Christian countries. The network potentially reaches 240 million homes around the world. The missionaries will be in a documentary hosted by Mr Bob Abeshouse to be shown in April 2012. You should look for the broadcast on the internet and can be seen via the internet at a future date.
The missionaries were absolutely magnificent in the interview. They were poised, handling questions with maturity and thoughtful answers. Most importantly they radiated the light of Christ and were filled with Power and Authority as they answered questions. The Holy Ghost was the constant companion to each missionary during the interview.
Last night was our weekly fireside for all 2000 missionaries. We had the 4 missionaries come to the stand and they participated with me in a round table discussion on the Aljazeera interview they had on Friday. Again, they handled themselves with maturity and dignity. As families you have done a wonderful job is raising these choice young people.
May the Lord bless you.

5th Week in the MTC
Hola mi familia y mi amigos.
Que tal? i am just chillin here on P-Day, not much going on. Besides the fact i am a celebrity once again in the MTC. hah As i guess you all have heard, i got interview by Aljeezera. It was pretty dope. I will og through the week so you all know what i went through. I will start on tuesday. So, tueday aboiut 10 oclock i am just chillin in the classroom right before we are about to go to TALL(computer lab program) and then we get called down to go to the Presidents room, it was pretty weird and unexpected. (i personally thought we were introuble.) but anyways he just wanted to talk to us about why wer are here and how our spanish is going. Then, he said he knew Grandpa Clark Welling. He said how good of a man he was. I thought you would like to hear that dad. But then he just chatted with us about why we are here and everything like that. It was sweet. Then we went back and finished out our day. I faked to all of my guys in the district that we were being sent home and they all fell for it. haha :) but anyways wednesday rolls around and Spencer Christiansen head of operations over the MTC snagged us from class, asked my Comapnion and I if we would like to be in the interview with Aljeezera. So we said "yes." It was great. had practice that day for about an hour saying what to say and what not to say. Basically saying by listening to our message we can help you in your life and things like that.. So, then the interview rolls around and the Crew was actually from New York. But, overall the questions were pretty fair. I killed it, definetly helped to have opractice, it was tons of fun. Then, sunday devotional rolls around President Brown calls me and my comapanion and the other 2 sisters who were with us and asked us some questions infront of 2,500 missionaries. It was great! The meeting was basically on us. Kinda weird, but awesome. Said how hard he work and how the spirit was definetly with us when interviewing. It was really cool. I had so much fun. (i love that stuff tho. haha) So, this week was very interesting and cool. I loved every minute of it. I learned a lot too. Then, after devotional we got to watch the Testaments again and yes Blake & Derrick, i heard the dinosaur soiunds this time. haah. But mom, it is OK to send me Normal sized Can of Cokes. haha, Blake i am going to find that Tie today. haha, and spanish is still difficult. :( Um, idk. my week was great, love you all so much, and miss you a ton more. Just when i think you cant do anything stupider, you go and do something like this......AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF. name that movie. :)
