First Night at the MTC

Dear Family,

I love you so much.  :)  Thanks for the great trip out to Utah and for the General Conference experience that we got to go to together.  I loved it.  :)

Today was amazing!  Crazy, good, uplifting, overwhelming and peaceful.  :)  My companion's name is Elder Williams!  He reminds me of Gabe Navarro, my old friend from choir. :)  He is so so awesome and funny and makes me feel good. :)

We started by meeting our District, and then the MTC Presidency.  They are so wonderful. :) They talked about a scripture in Mark 5, "be not afraid, only believe."  And I really loved that, it really helped me a lot. :)

Dinner was great, still preparing for Arizona by eating stuff like green beans and mashed potatoes, (don't worry, I ate a large piece of chicken)...(and a roll too).

A crazy teaching experience with my meeting after.  3 "houses" and 3 totally different people, it taught me a lot.  Teach people what they need.  Love people for who they are, as Christ loves them. :)

Great times, played the piano for our zone too! :)  2 other piano players!  Love it! :)

Well, I love ya'll!  Thanks for everything, especially Dad's blessings, Tan's personality, and Mom's prayers and love.  I love my companion & learned...forget yourself & start thinking of others.  :)

I know Christ is my Savior, and I believe this Church is so true! :)  I love you and love how well you've raised me. :)  Keep it up & the chicken is in the pot...Milk it! :)

Love, Elder Apsley :)
