First Snail Mail (written 6-18-09)

Dear Mom, Dad, and family

Today was great and I had a lot of fun. Well, orientation is a little boring, lol, but it was still fun. Well, my companions right now are Elder Fronk from Utah and Elder Buchanon from Portland, Oregon. They’re really cool guys. Well, we started off doing all the medical stuff and then we just chilled in our apartment for a bit and then we went to some training orientation and then lunch. Then we had a little class and we just talked about ourselves and stuff like that. Well, I saw Dewitt like right away and then at lunch I saw him again and then me and Tyrel talked for 5-10 minutes and as we were waiting for our class, I saw Ryan and we talked for a bit. So it was really cool to see all of them today. Oh, me, Dewitt and Tyrel are all in the same building which is really cool and Ryan is right by us so it’s pretty sweet and it’s gonna be fun here.

Well, b-ball still isn’t around so I’ll have to play bump of volleyball or something like that which is alright I guess, but not really. jk. Well Friday or next Friday The 12 apostles and the 1st presidency are gonna be here which is pretty sweet. They’re training all the new mission presidents so it’s pretty neat. Well, the Salt Lake temple is closed or we can’t go for 2 weeks which kind’ a sucks but I’ll get to go right before I fly out to North Carolina which is way cool. On Sundays we get to walk to the temple and take pictures and stuff so I will take plenty of pics for you guys. The food is pretty good here and filling so that’s good :)

So how’s everybody doing at home? How’s all your summers going? How’s Shayanna and Steven doing? Haha. Mom and dad, how was the rest of your vacation in Utah?

Well, it’s awesome here at the MTC and I really like it so far.

Well I love you all and miss you all soooo much.

Love Elder Goodrich
