First week in the MTC...

The MTC really is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am super excited to get out to Washington though. Sunday we had a devotional and this group called "Vocal Point" came they are a group of guys that sing without using instruments and they were really good.  It was cool because they are all about the church and each one of them have served full time missions. Anyways just look them up they are good.  My companion... He is a really nice kid. Lots of the Elders in the district are all super fun and funny and we have so much time everyday to just study with our district.  We literally have about 5 hours every day in the same little room to just study as a district. His name is Elder Ethan B. So we have the same name that's kinda cool I guess.

There are 10 people in my district. Elder Waters who is probably my favorite.  He is so funny and his companion is Elder Pospisol. Elder Faulner and Elder Mason. Then Sister Humpries and West and Sister Purves and McCrae.

They are going to Texas, SanAntonio. My church shoes are already worn down but they will be fine until I get out to Washington. A mission so far...  like the MTC part...  it really is not hard. It is just a lot of classes and long study hours and tons and tons and tons of prayers. Before and after anything you do. It is just something to get used to. It is really going good though.  It is so much easier to focus here then it was at home and the spirit really comes easy. We have been teaching members that act like they are investigators and just teaching makes you feel so good.  I can't wait to get out to Washington and to bring that feeling to someone who knows nothing about the gospel. It is going to be cool.

I got to go to the temple today.  That was cool. The temple here is so pretty. How is the family doing?

I love you guys.
