Week 2 - MTC


Howdy friends and family!
  
I hope September is treating you well, and life is going just splendidly. Life really flies by here at the MTC, and I'll be in Idaho a week from today. I've gotten a lot more used to the MTC schedule, and I've gotten even closer with the people in my district. I emailed last week about a lot of the logistics and schedule of the MTC, but I thought I'd focus more this week on the fun side. Here are some of the highlights:

- volleyball every day during exercise time
- chocolate milk with every meal (haven't missed a meal yet)
- jamming out to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack every night with my roommates (if you haven't heard it, you should)
- throwing secret parties using the food people send us
-using the photo booth app on our iPads to make each other look ridiculous




(In order from left to right)
-Elder Young: my companion and one of my roommates, from Minnesota, likes reading and drawing, going to Nampa Idaho
- Elder Barbachano: our District Leader, Alaskan Native, plays basketball, going to Scottsdale Arizona
- Elder Smart: distantly related to Marcus Smart (who plays for the Boston Celtics), from Pocatello Idaho, going to Scottsdale Arizona

- Sister Galten: from California, likes to do California things I guess, going to Albuquerque NM
- Sister Thompson: from California, just joined the church a few years ago, going to Albuquerque NM

- Elder Bernecker: competitive dancer, from Utah, going to Scottsdale Arizona
- Elder Hallstrom: talks like a 30-year-old, plays rugby, from Washington State, going to Scottsdale Arizona
- Elder Oldroyd: we call him Father Oldroyd because he acts like a dad, football player, from Washington State, going to Scottsdale Arizona

Love you all! Email me with any questions, or if you just wanna. I can read emails any time, any day. I just won't be able to respond after today(till next week). Next time you hear from me, I'll be in Idaho!
Love,
Elder Doyle
