Hello from the MTC

I received a letter from Elder Jordan yesterday afternoon along with some pictures of other Elders in his district. Here is some of what he had to say

"Thank you for the cookies, they were really good. They didn't last very long cause they were so good. The MTC is really fun with the people on my floor and in my District. It is fun working with them and the nights are really fun after a long day. My companion is Elder Willis." (a picture of him is below) "We get a long really well. The food is better than I expected. Breakfast isn't very good, but lunch and dinner are. I've gained 10 Lbs from eating it. I still haven't seen Kristen working at the cafeteria." (this is our cousin) "I really like working at the RC. This is where you call people that have called from Pass-a-long card and TV ads. Its fun talking to real people and trying to get them to meet with the missionaries and bearing testimony of the Book of Mormon. Its cool when someone decided to meet with the missionaries after hearing your message and testimony.
"Gym time is really fun. I'm one of the best 4 square players in the MTC. They call me the Wolf Man cause I wear my wolf shirt when I play." (He has this shirt, that I wish I had a picture of. It is a huge white and gray wolf that he would wear randomly, like the one in White Fang). "My floor also calls me Elder Jim Carey cause
I guess I look like him, especially when I comb my hair the way I do."(This is really funny cause a lot of people say our older brother, Ricky, looks like Jim Carey too!)

Elder Jordan also received some Halloween cupcakes and some cute pictures by our nieces that he said he really like. Elder Jordan is scheduled to leave for Atlanta on October 13th at 2pm. He is in charge of making sure all of the missionaries in his group get there safely.
It has been really exciting to hear from him. I will be sure to keep you all updates, hopefully weekly. Leave comments and I will be sure to pass them on to him!

Elder Jordan and Elder Willis, Companions
Elder Jordan called this a Double Stuff Oreo
Elder Jordan thinks some of the trees at the MTC smell like Cream Soda, anyone agree?

Diligently studying the scriptures
