Family!
Wow. There is so much going on here! It is amazing. I feel like I've been here for forever already (in a good way:) ) After you dropped me off Elder Fowers walked me to the main building where they have me my missionary tags, bluecard (used for meals, access to housing, and things like that). I went through and then we dropped off in my room and then Elder Fowers had to go back. To save time ( I have TONS to do) I'll just send you my schedule and then comment on important parts. We learned our purpose and our teachers are really cool.
Oh, I was blessed with a great companion! His name is Elder Michael Stratford from Rancho Cucamonga, California. He is awesome. There are two other Elders (Moultrie and Thomas) and they are cool too. Elder Thomas is from Montpelier and knows Uncle Tony! How cool. Oh, and we are all English speaking and going to Orlando! Elder Thomas seems very dedicated to obedience, which is great.
Our teachers are Sister Adkins and Bro. Carlson. Sister Adkins told us right up front that nobody can pass gas in class. Lol it really caught me off guard. :)
After that we had a little devotional with the MTC presidency. So far I've seen Jamie McConnell, Nick Fowers, Bryson Loughmiller, Travis Thompson, Danny Hansen, and Chris Hansen. You can look them up on Facebook if you don't know them.
After the fireside we had dinner and then went to 3 series of teaching demonstrations. The teacher was incredible; he's been back for 2 years and his testimony was solid!
Anyway, I've gotta go and I'll give you more info through email because it's much faster! I am safe and well, and I hope you all are too! I love you so much! :)
-Elder Beckett
