Hey Fam

Wed, Jun 30, 2010

Well things are going good here at the MTC.. Unfortunately, the temple is closed so we can't go while we're here.. My companion is Elder Trumpet.. He is a black soccer player from Toronto Canada.. He reminds me a lot of Ammon Brimhall.. We get along well..  I'm going a little crazy eating 3 huge meals a day and then sitting all day.. I have good roomates that get up early and work out with me.. The gym finally opened up the other day, so I ran a couple miles around the hampster track.. Things were a little crazy last week because they had all the mission presidents here.. Me and the 3 other Jamaican elders got to meet our mission president (President Hendricks) and his wife.. Turns out they know Uncle Dale.. I think they might even been in the same ward? I am learning a lot about teaching and Elder Trumpet and I work well together.. We had a devotional the other night when the mission presidents were still here and we had probably 6 of the apostles there.. Elder Oaks spoke.. It was good.. I would appreciate it if you could mail me an address list for the whole family.. anyway, my time got cut short, so got to go.. by the way Mom, thanks for helping me get my stuff ready..
Love, Elder Kartchner
