Jail aka Police Academy

Hey all, Sorry I haven't wrote to any one. Mom and Dad, I sent you all a letter yesterday I think. I will try to call sometime this weekend. We will see how it goes. Life in the acadmey is a lot like jail. They tell you everything to do when and how. It is good though. I have been doing great in my classes and on the tests. I don't get yelled all that much. I think they studied our psych evals, or I'm lucky. I do get teased alot by the other recruits and also the Officers. It is a lot of fun. I have come real close to the Book of Mormon and hymns. That is the way I made it through the first couple of days. When they were screaming at us, I was singing in my head "I need thee ever hour". The Lord is sure good to me and my family. I got to call home twice, once on Friday and Sunday. The call was for only 10 minutes, but that was the best ten minutes ever. After I knew my family was safe and doing great. I got more energy and doing so much better on the reindeer games, the reindeer games are games the offericers like to make us do when we get in trouble. example, push ups, mountain climbers, squate thrusts, running, stairs, lunges, ex they are not fun games. Not ones you would be enthusiastic to join in and play hehehe. But I am getting stonger and the games are easier. We have to do 100 push ups and 100 sit ups everyday. That is how we pay to do our laundry. If we get mail it is one thing per cent on the letter. So lets say I get one letter with one stamp, That is 44 cents. I have to do either 44 crunches, 44 push ups, 44 mountain climbers, ect. On Monday I received 10 letters, Lets just say the other recruits call me the mail man. It is fun. I did all 440 and read all 10 letters. I am not complaining, I need the letters and I look forward to it. Either way I have to do exercises might as well do it for a good reason. The academy is a lot easier that I thought it would be. We are finally up to 5 miles on our run. We did a 4 mile fart lick run the other day. It wasn't bad at all. The food for the most part is good. Their has been a few meals, I wasn't sure what I was eating. If you take the food you have to eat it all or you get to do a bunch of games.
Well enough for now. I will try to send a letter once a week. I sent Mom and Dad one so they should get it soon. Take care you all, love you all a lot, Please keeep praying, I feel the prayers and the Lord is sure answering them. Please if nothing else say more prayers. Thank you so much you all are the best family I could dream of. Thanks for the love and support. Love you all,

Nate
