"dear friends and family, the enter button doesn't work on this computer so i'm just not going to start any new paragraphs. also the shift button doesn't work so i won't be capitalizing anything. anyways, this first few days at the mtc have been pretty awesome. i can already pray and bear my testimony in spanish? (so it looks like the explanation point is a question mark...) i am having a really great time here and i can't wait to get out on the field. my companion's name is elder gebert (pronounced gay-burt) and he's pretty chill. kinda quiet, but we get along pretty well. all the guys in my district are really awesome. there's 4 of us going to long beach, 4 going to nicaragua, and 2 going to spain. my teachers are really great. im the only one in my district who has absolutely no experience speaking spanish. but luckily there are alot of similarities between french and spanish so im picking it up pretty quickly. so i've been sick since i got here and last night they actually sent me to the hospital, which i thought was pretty ridiculous because i only had a fever of 100.2 and once i got there they couldnt find anything wrong with me other than a cold. but it was fun to get to leave campus for a little bit, haha. it made me miss provo. its so wierd to think that i'm like less than a few blocks away from all my friends at byu and yet i can't actually see them or talk to them. so the elders that brett teaches live in the same building as me and whenever i hear people talking in tagolog i ask if they know brother ward and their like, yeah he's our teacher, and then they see my name tag and make the connection that hes my brother and then usually tell me that we look really similar. its pretty funny. i dont really know what else you guys want to hear about because no one has written me yet. i'm the only elder in my district who hasnt gotten any letters yet. haha. well i only have 30 minutes to email and im almost out of time so i should probably wrap this up. i just want you all to know that i miss you all somethin fierce and i hope you're all doing well. please write me so i know how you're doing and i will write you back. i have like an hour to write letters now with no one to write to :( well i gotta go now, but i can't wait to hear from you and have fun listening to music and watching tv and wearing not sunday clothes all the time, and i will have fun not doing all thos things. i love you and miss you. -love elder ward -ps mom please forward tthis to that list of people i gave to dad, your email was the only one i could remember. also whoevers updating my facebook, it would be cool if you could send out a decree telling people that if they want to get my emails then they can leave a comment with their email address. i think holly did that so you should add her email to the list. ok gotta go, bye i love you"
