 More MTC fun.


 Look who he ran into working in the cafeteria. Elder Hill who served in the Tempe Mission!



Here is his first letter. He's not much of a writer, but he makes up for it in his picture taking :)

Hey Family and Friends that feel like Family!

I got here just fine. when i was at the gate at PHX there where like 20 other missionaries taking my flight so i was not alone at all. I came in and they gave me my name tag and my room key that was very cool to get my name tag and its in Spanish!

The first day was crazy so many things happened at once. and it was really hard for the first 3 days but after that it got a whole lot better. My new companion is Elder Judd. and he is cool its really hard adjusting to a new companion and their differences but i am happy and thankful to have him because he is understanding of me.

We went on a Temple walk earlier this week so that was cool to see the Provo temple is possibly based off of the pillar of fire that Israel followed.

We play four square on work out time its so much fun. On Sundays and Tuesdays they have Devotionals where general authorities come and speak to us. they have this gym and in like an hour they can turn it into  a Room with giant bleachers and chairs to fit 2000. with gigantic projectors to show the face of the person spaeking its awesome. they have a choir in the MTC (I might go to the MTC just for Choir)  it has like 900 people in it and we sing awesome songs together and our director makes awesome jokes.

Thanks you guys are sweet.

-Elder Thompson
