MTC

The flight her was incredibly long. I cant sleep on airplanes so that did not help anything. I didn't sleep at all over the Atlantic and only slept a little over Ireland. Once we got through customs, they put us on a bus and sent us to the MTC. They had no mercy on us at the MTC and made us do a full day of orientation stuff. The first couple of days of Jetlad were killer but I think that I am finally over it.

The MTC is on the Temple Grounds. There is also a stake center and a couple of other church buildings. Its all so green and beautiful. There are tons of plants and flowers and stuff like that. Around everything is a thick forest. Its fun to walk around with all our spare time. (sarcasm, no such thing as spare time here). I've taken alot of pictures of the grounds. I'm hoping that I have enough time to send them in another email.

The Spirit is really strong here at the MTC. I have learned so much and I am enjoying going to classes. We got our "allowance" yesterday. But half of it is already gone to buying postal stuff. Its going to be wierd getting used to the pound (£) system. It kinda stinks because right now the dollar is really weak to the £ so it takes more money in dollars.

We were told that the people telling us that the British missions aren't high baptizing were wrong. And the Birmingham mission is the highest baptizing mission in England right now.

My MTC companion is Elder Clark from Boise, ID. Our roommates are Elder Tonga, a Tongan from Tonga, he is our District leader and his companion is Elder Whitehead from Montana.

Today is Pday so we went to the temple and got some stuff done. Well my time is running out.

Love Elder Wright
