New Missionary

Michael reported to the MTC in Provo on May 21st. (Notice the missionary badge). Boy after waiting for 4 months it was all a little sudden.

We got our first letter from him.

Dear Family,

Thank you for all of your support and kindness. :) And for all of your letters.

The first day we basically got oriented... it's pretty crazy up here. I'm all settled in a room with my companion, Elder Waldron, and another companionship, Elders Johnson & Segura. We all get along really well and there hasn't been any disputes yet.

We came in with a district of 8 elders and 2 sisters, us included, and we're already bonding. All of us French speaking. 6 elders and 1 sister going to Geneve and the others going to Montreal.

The 1st day was basically getting to meet Branch Presidency etc. and our classrooms.

Today on the other hand has been spent in either orientations or our classroom where we have already learned how to pray in French ... at least the basics. With no sign of letting up. We basically study ... all day except for meals and Gym time, which we haven't had yet!

We have a pretty rowdy zone filled with super good missionaries and some you wonder why they're here.

So far the food is ok. (Ha Ha)

We met our teachers, Frere Bayles et Soeur Lundskag (soon to be Grall, tomorrow). (Brother Bayles and Sister Lundskag who is getting married and will be Sister Grall)

They're pretty cool. Frere Bayles is awesome and knows a ton. And, also taught us proper pronounciation of French ... that's about it.

I now know without a shadow of a doubt, that what I'm doing is right. And I know there are people waiting for me to teach.
