Hi Family,

I leave the MTC tomorrow afternoon and go to the mission home until Wednesday, then it's off to my first area! During this week I should be getting my iPad and facebook (hopefully). SO over the course of the week I met President Monson's grandson. He was standing next to me in the lunch line...I noticed his name tag and that's where the convo started! He's headed to Cambodia for his mission! so yesterday at the Sunday devotional, Jenny Oaks Baker (daughter of Dallin H. Oaks) spoke to us and showed us her wicked violin skills! There's probably more that I'm drawing a blank on...Something that you all will have to try is going to the Provo temple. When you walk outside (because it's on a hill) you see absolutely everything! You overlook Provo, across Utah Lake, and on to the gorgeous mountain range! It's a stunning sight! AND because of the location of the temple, the sun sets on it last and its a gorgeous sight! I see it from my classroom every night! (BTW the temple is right across from the MTC.

So yeah..these are my adventures for this week!

Until next week!

Love you all!
