1st Official Email (7-1-17)

So wednesday we got here, got all of our stuff, dropped off luggage, and headed to class where I met my new Companion Elder MacClellan. He's from St. George and went to high school at Pine View High and played varsity baseball for them for a while. He's super into baseball. He actually is dating Mikaela Graf and is a cool kid. I love him to death. The other two guys in our room are Elder Woodward who went to High school with me and his companion who is the DL Elder Redford and he's from Idaho. They are all super awesome guys. Elder Woodward has diabetes so we get a mini fridge in our room incase you wanna send something that needs to be cold. Anyways back to the week. So Wednesday after that mini orientation class we had dinner (the cafeteria wasn't opened so it was kinda like a catered meal and it was swedish meatballs and gravy and I don't know but it was aiight haha. Lets say the foods gotten a lot better.  Anyways after that we did this thing where we had one investigator come into a room with all of us new Elders and sisters and we tried to teach them (kinda the needs they were looking to have answered) and it was weird but cool. I don't really remember much after that tho for Wednesday. Thursday I was kinda sick. Oh Wednesday night we also had a zone meeting where we met our zone. The Zone leaders are awesome. Elder Goates is one of them and he lives in Queen Creek. He's in the Lebarons new ward and has emailed Parker a few times, and his grandparents are in our ward they are the (Crittendens). Anyways so Friday let's start with breakfast. I don't know how I feel about the food. It's  not bad but it doesn't seem all safe. I've heard wayyyy to many diarrhea stories from certain foods haha. Anyways I've been eating pretty well. We did 2 3 hour classes yesterday and a bunch of role plays and were supposed to do personal study and companion study which are supposed to be an hour long each.  While it sounds like a lot once you get going you seem to be able to study plenty. But yeah today we went to the temple, actually just got out. The Provo Temple Celestial room is SOOOOOOO beautiful. and they have the coolest chandelier too. 
Oh and yesterday we got the code to the mail box and I was able to pick up your packages and they were sooo amazing. The donuts are gone already haha and the candy was and is super nice for studying. Thankfully it's not too hot here. Its actually pretty nice. I LOVE the new MTC it's soooo sick. And they have the most beautiful murals I've ever seen. And I finally as of this morning have found Everything you packed haha. At least I think. Just a heads up while I'm at the MTC if you guys use Dear Elder I can get your letters usually day of and I can write letters back to you guys on non P-days.
