August 6, 2010: First Letter

Dear Family:
Surprise!  I'm allowed to write you a letter, since this is my first week here!  I just want to let you know that I am here safe and sound in the MTC.
Life here in the MTC is crazy.  I came rushing in just minutes before the welcome meeting with the president, and I felt all discombobulated the first day and didn't even find my companion until about 8PM that night.
It is fun being here though!  My companion's name is Shelley Decker, from West Jordan.  She is going to the LA Temple visitors' center.  Cool, hm?  Actually, I am the only one in my district going to Cleveland,  The other 3 sisters are going to LA, and the Elders are going to Phoenix and Carlsbad.
There is so much to tell you, I will have to write really fast now and use my whole 30 minutes on Monday.  (Oh yes!  Monday is my P-Day, so if you want to get me e-mails, send them before Monday.)
So far, we've just been in class most of the day, and then we have lots of time for personal and companion study.  The classes are interesting.  So far, it's been a pretty unstructured, free response set of exercises in which we learn how to better understand investigators.  You guys should google "6 Billion Others" and look at it - we've been using that site a lot and it's pretty interesting.
Ah, I have to go!
Love you!
Love, Katherine
