First Week!

Hello Everyone!

I have arrived safely and I have been doing well at the MTC!I think the MTC is great! Conference was very inspirational. The weather here is cooler than California, it's about 60 or 40ish or so. My schedule is pretty busy, we always have different studies and classroom instructions, but it is taught by very good loving teachers. My companions' name is Elder Fisher and he is from Northern California.  I found out that if I went to the MTC a week earlier than I did, I would have had a chance to sing at the Conference center!!!! I was mad.  The food here is a little less quality than I expected but it is still good, it keeps us full. My district consists of my companion and I, another set of Elders and two sets of Sisters. So there are 8 of us. One set of Sisters are going to Vancouver Canada, but the rest of us are going to the Colorado Denver North Mission.

I actually went to the Provo Temple a couple of hours ago. But it looks like that will be the only time I we get to go. My impressions at the MTC are that everybody has a common purpose to bring souls unto Christ. I didn't know how big the campus was, and didn't know there was a West Campus. The Flight here was cool, I just got a little dizzy and queezy. I haven't uploaded pics yet, I don't know if the computers here let you. But I will upload soon. As I look at the mountains next to the MTC everyday I really miss Mountain Biking and doing the things I like, and I think to myself "I still have 2 years to go!" but I know that what I am doing is far more important. I am really anxious to get to Colorado and I want to start the work now! I love you guys and I hope all is well. Goodbye for now.

Love, Elder Rodriguez
