Letter Home: Week 1 of the MTC

Dear Mom and Dad,

Hope you aren’t missing me too much. It shouldn’t be much different since I’m always fairly quiet, yet you don’t see me for dinner or Saturday lunches. I hope you are doing well. I hope the yard work isn’t too bad. To be honest I’m not missing mowing the lawn and or all the other yard work. Today is Saturday and the post office doesn't open until 10 o’ clock so I will be sending you letters today and you should receive them on Monday. The power of God is so strong here. Sad to say and kind of happy to say I’m not missing home...Sorry I still love you with all my heart but I truly am having such a great time. My ability to teach however has been slow I need more time to process things and I’m not as good at it as I would like to be. Also, I’m having a hard time knowing what to say to an investigator to try and relate to them but it is getting better and I know one day I won’t even have to think about it. One day it will just come to me naturally. Other than that everything is good. I have relied on the Spirit to help lead and guide me and I have learned so much. I have learned so much from my teachers. I have also written so much in my journal and in my notebook. It’s wonderful. I hope you get this e mail and take the time to read the other one as well. I’m loving it here. I’ve never been so happy. Don’t forget to mail my letters and cash in my checks if you haven’t already. I love you and hope everything is going well. Don’t forget to write and be sure to give my email address to whoever wants it and send people my email or send them one telling how I am doing. I will hopefully be sending pictures next Saturday. I’m running out of time to email. Love ya can’t wait to hear from you.

Love,

Elder Collins :)
