First letter

Hello all,

We received a letter from Lyndsay yesterday.  It was handwritten so I can't post it, but I'll share the high points here.  The President  of the Missionary Training Center asked the new missionaries to write to their parents the first night and let us know how things are going.  Smart man! 

She has already seen several other missionaries that she knew previously--including her companion whom she ran track with in middle school and knew throughout high school.  One of the elders who helped her carry her suitcases in (Chance Carter) was on one of her Europe music tours. (Sairah--she thought that would give you a laugh).  Small world!

The Elders in her district are all going to the Tulsa Oklahoma mission where her friends Jorry and Nick Ricci served (someone pass that word along).  The other sister missionaries in her group are also going to visitors' centers--one in LA and one in Independence, Missouri.

Apparently the food is OK--lots of options so she won't starve.  The MTC is obviously a powerful place. Lyndsay hates vegetables but she says she ate all of her veggies at dinner the first night! ;-) 

After dinner they had the new missionaries get together in their district and do some preliminary teaching, basically role playing.  She says "I didn't anticipate being so eager to share, but I was.  I loved it and learned so much."

Well, that's about it.  She closes by saying "tell everyone that I am here safe and that I love them".

Thank you all for your support and interest in Lyndsay.  We'll keep you posted.
