Hey how is everybody doing?? Well, it's true, I will no longer be composing any mail here at the MTC, because I leave for the Mission Field at 8 AM tomorrow. This week has gone by faster than any week of my life, I cannot tell you how much I love it here, the spirit testifies to me of the truthfulness of this gospel on an hourly basis it seems, I have really loved learning about the Plan of Salvation, and Reading Jesus the Christ (man, has my vocabulary just shot out the roof.) There is a very bittersweet feeling for me today, the friendships I have made are some of the best of my life! There is this Elder in my zone from Heber City, he is one of the happiest, kindest Elders here, and he has made me really consider maybe moving to Heber City when I get home. It would take me the rest of the morning to explain and talk fondly about everyone here that I love. My companion and I committed one of our volunteer investigator to Baptism and going to church with us after the first two lessons, granted it is fake, but it still was amazing! I really don't know what more I can add...um... I eat a bowl of Frosted Flakes with every meal. I'll make sure to start sending some pictures, even though they won't be nearly as cool because none of you know these people. Well, I'll talk to you all later, I get to go to the temple and maybe get in a nap today. MOM, I DIDN'T TELL YOU THIS, BUT I NEED A BLANKET, SHEETS, AND A PILLOW, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN MAKE A QUICK TRIP TO THE MTC TODAY??? Thanks so much!! I love you
