Dear Mom,
I will send more pictures tomorrow, but they are giving me 5 minutes to write you right now to tell you I leave on Wednesday morning for my mission field. I just did get your letter! It takes about 4 days then I suppose. We have practiced hard in the MTC, and during the middle part of the time I was in my most depressed state (it couldve been that I was not able to get out of the building 23 hours of the day). But when I shared my testimony of what I knew to be true, immediately I received strength and encouragement from the Lord! that was just yesterday. The finding activity in Manchester went very well for us as a whole: Elder Mongelli and I placed our first Book of Mormon to a man named Jack and got his information! you can see it on the photo gallery online (I'll send more photos tomorrow of Durnham village we visited yesterday as well). I see President Millar soon and find out where I serve and who I serve with this wednesday. I'll tell you next wednesday! Tell Heather thanks for the letter (I joked with the elders that she was my girlfriend haha). It's an exciting time... the MTC has been a refiner's fire for my testimony and faith, and it will be hard to say goodbye to Elder Mongelli (he leaves for the London Mission on a separate bus). Don't tell Raymond this but he's even cooler haha! I got more to say but not enough time (like fun facts for Heather!). I'll write!
