Mooooooommmmm....
It's
finally P-day! This week, we only get half a p-day and it's well,
obviously on Saturday. Next week, and I believe in future weeks, it will
be on Friday! We were allowed to write our families the first day, and
you've probably gotten that letter by now, but it didn't really answer
your questions, because I didn't know what they were yet. My companion,
as I belive I said in my first letter, is Elder Duersch! It's been great
getting to know him. And also weird getting used to never not being
with him, ha ha. And yes, he's also going to Vancouver. In our room,
there's another companionship, and we're all going to Vancouver. Of the
other companionship, one elder is from Preston, so the room is pretty
Cache Valley heavy. The other elder is from Ontario in Canada, and I'm
constantly asking him questions about Canada, which he is fine with
because he's the type who likes to talk and talk and talk. I've seen so
many people and cousins of people that I know. I saw David the first
day, but I have yet to see Elder Clegg! I've seen people ranging from
Andrea Halling's Cousin to Elder Devin Hinkson to who knows who else.
It's a very, very, small world it feels like at the MTC. I belive I'm
tying my ties and hanging up my pants correctly! So.. no complaints
there. Time goes by extremely, extremely, extremely slowly at the MTC! I
got a couple letters from people who wrote me the day I left, and they
implied that they were jumping the gun by writing me so quickly. Well, I
got those letters Friday evening, and they say down here that for your
first week, it feels like days happen between meals, so for me, it felt
like I hadn't heard from the outside world in forever! They say that
once you get to Sunday, the days start to blur together and it feels
like you're packing your bags after you blink. I sincerely hope this
happens, because I want to get up in Canada and serve! Ha ha... yeah.
And our dinner time is at 4:30... I still feel uncomfortably full from
lunch when it's dinner time, and then when it's 10:30 and it's bedtime,
we're all starving. I guess it's good to get used to that though, since
we'll be proselyting without food for a while for a lot of evenings!
Love,
Elder Blotter
PS
We need to figure out how I'm going to do these emails. This email was
kinda for the whole family, and I can email the whole family directly, I
just need everyone's addresses.
