Smith with his two companions in the MTC Sept 2013

Week 1 at the MTC Sept 27, 2013
 
We got an email!!!

Dear Mom,

I just want to let you know that I am having a great time at the MTC.  It was very hard to say goodbye but once I got here I felt that I am supposed to be here.  I sent a letter and hope you already got it.  I have 2 companions in which I get along with really well.  I have felt the spirit so strong here and it has been a wonderful experience so far.  We are doing a lot of role playing which is helping me with learning how to teach.  I have met many elders and sisters going to Vanuatu and I didn't know so many would be going where I am.  The Elders and sisters are great.  I haven't had a problem with any of them yet.  The food here is really good.  It's so much better than school food.  I am keeping busy here and I have a full schedule from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep.  It sounds like I will be flying to Vanuatu on the 6th of October.  I am really looking forward to the flight there (NOT!) My "p" days in the MTC are on Fridays.  I should be going to the temple next Friday and I'm way excited!

There's also a letter for the Samhammers if you can give it to them. I attached a few photos of me and my companions. On the photo with the map Elder Mastin is on the left and Elder Jones is on the right. They are both from Utah.  I hope they will have the chance to be my companion when I'm in Vanuatu.  I love you so much and I hope everything is going great at work and at home.
