News from Elder Bigelow

Zack went into the MTC last Wednesday. He just sent us an update of how he has been doing. We will be posting more as we receive letters from him, so keep checking back. He has also enclosed his address, and he would love to hear from his friends and family. Below is his first letter home.

Hey Familia!!!
Well i am here in the MTC. It has been great so far. I really love it here they are working me hard and teaching me a lot. I can pray and bare testimony in Spanish already its crazy. but a lot of other missionaries around are speaking to me saying so much and I don’t know what they are saying. I started off with one companion Elder Davis. He is a cool guy he also is our district leader but I’m the senior companion crazy I know, but then one of the elders in my district got moved to the advanced class cause he knew so much Spanish so i got his companion too. So its now a three some for me. His name is Elder Harvey.Both of them played football,Elder Harvy at Clearfield High and Elder Davis at Murray High. Both are bigger than me too its funny.
My district has 11 guys in it now and 7 to Argentina 5 to Mendoza area. The other 4 are going to Santo Domingo East Mission in the DR. Gym time is fun here. All of our district really loves each other and we dominate in four square. That’s where all the action takes place,in gym time. I forgot my Temple pants and tie so i will need that to be sent to me please. I really love it here. It’s so much fun and the Spirit is so strong I have so much fun and it has made me love the gospel so much more! I am often found just humming or singing Hymns and I don’t know why. It’s great! The showers do suck though. Because of them I may pursue a dancing career from hopping in and out of the cold to scalding hot water. It’s never consistant. My P day is usually Friday, but we have it today because it’s such a crazy off weird week.

I have seen so many people I know here. The kid my age from Alta is in my zone but not district. Another kid that graduated a year before me though is in my district and is going to Mendoza so that’s cool he is way funny. The first day with Dallin helping me was huge and really explained how things go here and helped. It seems way big at first but now it’s small to me and I know where everything is. You’re probably at the BYU game right now I know. How are they? How is Alta? What is the family up to? Don’t forget to forward this to everyone and make sure they write me I only get thirty min. on the computer and if the timer goes out you lose your email.
I love it here and keep praying that I pick up this Spanish I’m not the slowest in my district but close. It’s hard for me to memorize so many sayings right now, but I’m getting to it and I’m having a lot of fun. The Spirit is so strong and can be found pretty much anywhere in this entire place! I can’t wait to see Kyle here and speak Spanish to him and others on their first day and blow their minds. Wish him luck in his farewell talk. Give Noah a kiss and squeezes for me! I love this gospel so much! I love all of you so much!
se que dios es nuesto padre celestial y jesucristo es nuestro rendentor y salvador. se que jose smith fue que profeta. se que el libro de mormon es verdadero. en el nombre de jesucristo amen.

I can’t say it all my time is about out. LOVE YOU!!!
