Hey Mom and everybody else! How is everyone? Well, I am having a great time here at the MTC! The first few days here have been long, but at the same time they have flown by, it's really weird, it seems like the outside world just stopped, which is a nice feeling sometimes. My companion is Elder Schmidt from West Valley City, UT, he is a great guy and a fantastic elder, it seems like even though I'm older than him, he has still taught me a lot. My district is great as well, ten out of the eleven elders in my district are going to Kennewick, and the other is going to Phoenix...... so small world huh? Elder Ruettenger is from Gilbert, Elder Brinkle is from Mesa (As as myself), and Elder Bush is from 'Bama, I have had an amazing experience getting to know them and why they are out on a mission. I have been thinking a lot about Dad lately, I can feel him so strongly sometimes. The spirit is one like you would never imagine! The food is great, the teachers are outstanding, and the gospel is true, so pretty much everything here is great! Don't get me wrong, I'm having to work extra hard in my study and my commitment to keep the mission rules, and I can feel the difference when I do. My time is short, and frankly, I don't have much more i can tell you other than i have giant blisters on my feet :( so I think I'll talk to you next monday, can you please post this on my facebook wall? (man do i miss listening to the beatles, and any music in fact, they have a nice bookstore here that has CD's but i didn't bring a player, oh well, I can always sing my heart out (I won't though, because that sounds retarded) alright mom, I love you tons and same with everyone else who might read this.
Love Elder Bates
