First email from MTC

Excerpts from first email to Mom in the MTC

Hey mom! I'm at the MTC now and they gave us some time to write. It is very hard being here without you right by my side, but this will be a good experience for me and you and the family. It's about 3:30 here and we are already getting into it with everything.  The flight from London was really good and got a lot of sleep and wrote in my journal for the first time.  When I got here it felt so right and it was so cool when I got here. I got all my bags and everything came.
I won't have time to email everyone today, but tell everyone that I love them. Its been a crazy couple of days I'll try and send the pictures that I have when I have enough time. It's not our p-day, but they're letting us write for like 5 to 10 minutes.  I can already see what its going to be like in the MTC and its going to be really hard. I think once I get out into the field it will be a lot easier and I think it will be really cool to have a trainer.  I've met every missionary here and they each have their own great personalities. My MTC companion is from Zimbabwe and has some crazy stories I'll have to tell you about later. I'll email as much as I can to everyone, but you're right about the writting.  But I will try and write as much as I can. I'm not sure when my p-day is yet. Its going to be quite an adventure and it will go by really fast. Everyone that I have talked to says it goes by so fast and they wish they could stay in their mission. I know you and everyone can do it. I love you and tell everyone I love them.
