Michael's First Letter

Dear Mom/Dad/Family,
Well, so far so good, I haven't been kicked out. Well, after I left the chapel this afternoon I remember that I forgot my cool toothpaste. I need it ASAP :) Anyways, they had me walk to some building that I don't know the name of to give them my shot sheet. I waited in line for an hour. NOT FUN, however, I was able to talk to a lot of really cool missionaries. My companions name is Elder Larsen, he is from Blanding, UT. He is a pretty cool cat. Elder (Aaron) Welch is my district leader and his companion is Elder Harris from Kaysville. There are just the 4 of us in the District. I have 3 Preach My Gospel's (The missionary manuals) (English, French, Haitian) and 2 Triple Combinations thet are French and Haitian and just a lot of books from both languages. Today has just gone by so slow, but now its 10:15 and its time for bed.

I need some more athletic shorts, like 3 or 4 pair, as well as t shirts because our P-day (Preparation Day) is on Thursday, but it starts next week and we can wear our shorts. I also need SANDALS!!! But other than that I think I should be fine, unless all my stuff gets stolen by the Tongans that live next to us. Well, the time has run out, but look up these scriptures and read them.

Some cool quotes from orientation:

"Attitude Determines Altitude"

"Plan to Succeed"

"Setting goals are only for those who want ot be teachable."

Well, hope that those mean something to you, as they can be applied to anything you want. McKay, if you wear ANY of my suits I will KILL you, but feel free to wear my goggles. :)

I love you all, send candy:)

Love,

Michael (Elder King)
