Hello people of Bothell,

The MTC is really great so far. I saw Curtis Ballard (from our ward) today and talked.  He's doing well. The food isn’t that bad, but not that great either. I have zero hangers for any of my clothes.... Lunch was great with the cousins, but its super hot here, like 75-80 degrees.

My district is all going to the Tacoma mission except for 3 of us, but the others, they could teach Grandpa, it covers all the Olympic Peninsula. Elder Cooper is my companion. He's from Riverside, Utah. My whole district is Utah boys except for one, but he’s lived in Utah for a while.

The missionaries who have been here for a while who are English-speaking think they’re so kool and experienced, but they’re super annoying and don’t know anything compared to real missionaries in the field. I met an elder from Virginia Beach and he says its super awesome and extremely beautiful.

I’m only here for 10 more days, but I’m excited to not be in the MTC for so long. Oh, and by the way I do kinda want my moccasins, and my little speaker that’s in the darkroom, and a cd player that works but not until I’m in Viginia.

The best part here is that you always feel the spirit strongly even when you’re praying about investigators that aren’t even real. Shaving everyday is the worst and it hurts my face, but I’ll get used to it.

I’ve met people going to places I’ve never even heard of-- and I’ve heard of just about everywhere, and going to some of the koolest places in the world. There are old film photos framed on the walls here that missionaries took in all of the crazy places in world like Mongolia and in the Arctic Circle. Like there’s a picture of elders baptizing someone in a hole they cut out of the ice.

I leave here on the 27th and I can’t wait. I can’t remember any scripture masteries, which is super frustrating, but it’s all good. Um---I don’t know how to write a letters for everyone to hear—that’s a lot of writing and I’m not a huge fan of writing.

Oh, and I met another Colin White he’s a teacher here. but besides that, I hope you all don’t miss me too much because I love this so much and I’m definitely not coming home for at least 2 years:) 

         I suppose I’ll write you next week. This time my MTC P-day is Friday.

         I hope its nice and super rainy and cold in Bothell!!

 

 Love Elder White

 

P.S. There’s this super dumb guy here who thinks he’s hot stuff and says he’s from Seattle, but he only lived in LAKE STEVENS!!!!(That’s like 1&1/2 hours away) and he only lived there for like 7 months, but he’s bragging about how Seattle he is and how awesome it is........ that frustrates me.... a lot. Any-who I love you and miss you tons!!!!!!:^]
