Patrick email #1

Today was a great day -- Patrick finally made it to the MTC in Guatemala. I have absolutely no details on his movement in Guatemala; I last heard from him as he boarded a plane out of Houston headed to Guatemala City. Anyhow, his words were like the Balm of Gilead in so many ways. Wish we'd here from Taeg. Enjoy!

Companion: Elder Cooper

Mi familia, just wanted to let you guys know that I made it to the MTC safe and sound!! I hope you guys are all doing well and I'm loving the experience here at the MTC so far. My roomates are awesome and my companion is great!! Elder Cooper is a really fun companion to be around, and there are plenty of people here willing to teach me the language. I truly think six weeks in the MTC will go by so quickly, and I'll hopefully be ready to go out and teach the gospel to all of those people waiting for us missionaries! I don't feel homesick at all and it's just because the spirit here is so strong and always there when I need any kind of comfort!! I love the MTC and I will be thinking of you guys. I will keep you in my prayers and don't worry about me because I am in great hands!!

I will get back to you with another email Wednesday, on my "P" day. I'm loving it here soooo much, you have no idea!!
