Day 1 - The MTC is wild!


Wild with the SPIRIT! I love everyone here. This place is magical. There's a lot of classwork but it's all for good things! The elders in my dorm are fantastic, we're all skinny cross country runners with bad taste in puns so we get along swimmingly (purely metaphorical, as missionaries aren't allowed to swim). My companion is Elder Skinner from San Diego! He actually went to BYUI for a couple semesters so that was neat! We get to fly out to LA next Tuesday to visit the Finnish consulate! That'll be great. Finnish is going so well, I love it. Someone needs to teach the Norwegian elders that the commandment about false gods includes making yourself out to be one... haha no, they're all great! :) And they've been here a while (5 weeks, but they leave next week and we're here for nine). They're really funny. I don't have a bunch of time to email today but so far it's been great, I love you all so much, and the Church is so true!!!! The picture is me with my dorm, I'm next to Elder Skinner.










And from Mom:
Here's a picture of Sam as we dropped him off.  Notice Sam's shoulder angel (Br. Weeks, a volunteer at the MTC).  He's in good hands.  Sam's dad also has a shoulder angel - an unidentified but happy Elder.
