Elder Green with his official badge!MTC Life 2
Wow, yesterday I received a letter of my own from my son! He is really loving the MTC experience, though he has already noticed he is gaining some extra pounds - eating all that high calorie (and unlimited amounts) of MTC food. And he said the 3-4 hours straight studying gets a bit long each morning and afternoon. As he said, "the days are long and the weeks are short".
He and his companion, who is is a very good basketball player, plan to beat any other two man team of Elders in b-ball. They are planning to "ball up" the MTC and beat everyone in a game of two on two. I guess they allow dunking at the MTC. The two of them are excited to be dunking the b-ball on all the other teams.
Elder Green said he may be delayed getting his visa to Mexico. Seems that most missionaries going to Mexico get delayed a few weeks. Let's hope he doesn't.
He really enjoys being with his companion (good thing!) and his other two roommates. They are laughing a lot and playing tricks on each other.
Keep up the great work Elder Green!
Love,
Dad

MTC Life
J.J. is really enjoying the MTC life. We have received three letters so far from him and he seems happy and excited to be learning all he can at the MTC. His companion is from Nevada and his name is Elder Florence. He is about 6 feet 6 inches tall and he and J.J. enjoy taking on the other elders in basketball. He said the language is coming along and he is enjoying studying and learning more each day. He also appreciates the break of gym period each day! Mom is happy that he is actually doing his wash - hopefully the whites will stay white and the darks won't shrink! We look forward to his letter each week and maybe he'll take some pictures and send those home so we can post them on his blog.
