The MTC has been great!
Well, today is our p day and we got to go to the temple this morning and that
was great! I love it here at the MTC and I don't mean to be rude or anything
but I don't miss home one bit. I love all of the people in my district
and zone and we get along so good. It is like we have been best friends
for years. I thought that the MTC would be boring and long but it’s not
too bad. There is lots of food and we've made the mistake of eating too much a
couple of times so that wasn't too fun but other than that it was good.
The love for each other here is awesome! Our branch president and all of
the people in our zone give hugs to each other instead of handshakes. The
first time we met our branch presidency they came right over and gave us all
big hugs. We've had a couple awesome devotionals on Sunday and Tuesday. I
haven't got the chance to play basketball yet but hopefully I will be able to
play in a couple minutes. We have been playing lots of soccer and there
are some elders that play with us that are from Fuji and Africa and they kick
our butts!! I did score one goal on them so that was pretty good I guess.
There are couple elders in our district that are pretty good at soccer
and two were on the basketball teams at their high schools. One thing that I have
notices is how small I am! (that is part of the reason I haven't played
basketball yet) I have met two people from the BYU basketball team here.
I am the smallest and shortest person in my district and zone! I'd be the
smallest in the whole MTC but there are some people from the Philippians and
Asia who are a little smaller. The MTC is huge and I'm just getting the
hang of it and I’ll be leaving in a couple of days. We leave Monday morning at
3:30 a.m.! Why do we have to leave that early? We go from here to Detroit, then
to Rochester and get there at about 5 in the afternoon. I have been
assigned as the travel leader, whatever that means? I’m sure I'll figure it
out; I just hope I don’t mess something up. I have seen lots of people I
know like Porter Roe, Josh Dunkley, CJ Bowers, Tyrell Fredrickson, Erin Cox,
Stephen Odd, etc. There are so many people here but its not crowded at all.
It is just 8 of us in our district and we spend most of our time
together. I have learned a lot and taught a lot. I'm running out of things to
say so I’m going to stop for now.
Love Elder Daugs
Sorry I forgot to tell
you earlier. I forgot my water bottle, my patriarchal blessing, my priesthood
line of authority, and probably something else. If you could send those to me
in New York in a couple of weeks that would be great. Also, Monday morning I
can call you if I want at the airport, but I have to buy a calling card and I
don’t know what time it will be. So, I might call some time between 3 and
6 in the morning.
Sorry I
forgot again! I don’t have a way to upload pictures so that’s why you don’t
have any. So you need to send me the cord in NY too.
