February 23, 2013. Letter from Jordan.


Okay I don't really have much time to email at the MTC...I'll have way more time in the field so for now everyone is getting the same email. Whitney, I am sorry I didn't send it to you I figured you would look in Mom's email. It's definitely going really good right now. The MTC is pretty nice. My companion is Elder Delabout. Yes I did fly with Elder Dalton but I also flew with like 12 other missionaries. Just imagine Erik Nystul who talks just like Ryan Hancey haha that's what he's like. Ashley...yes of course I brought the Guster pen...well I think I did I haven't found it yet because I've hardly unpacked anything.
 
So I've already had to teach two investigators (teachers who role play as fake investigators). It's so hard but its really fun. I got commitments out of both of them. So I'll be out of the MTC on next Tuesday.
 
So as a group many times we talked about who had girlfriends. Haha it was funny but I felt cool cause I got to tell them how awesome you are Trist! This is my fifth day out its already going by so fast!!
 
It's always busy...there's no time to relax at all. Whenever we have free time we need it to get a lesson ready. You would think that being in the same classroom for 4 hours straight would be hard but its so fun! We get an hour of sports time on most days but the problem is its way too hot!
 
Yes mommy I just waited at the London airport. A couple people went out into the city but most of us decided it wasnt worth the risk. I exchanged some money for some pounds so I can buy stuff in England if I ever go back there. I only spent 4 pounds on a sandwich though.
 
Im happy they finally gave you a calling Dad, secretary wont be too hard!
 
There's so many different languages and accents here is so weird. And Elder Otieno is our very own Mr. Eko. Exact same voice and from Kenya. There's a few more Africans with us here too!
 
So yes I finally got my shower but it took a while because we were busy when we first got here with like interviews and shots. Just for some fun information water does indeed spin down the drain in the opposite direction. Also, the moon is upside down!
 
There's 4 missionaries in my room. I think there's like twenty something missionaries here. The food is usually pretty good but the side is always gross...like eggs or weird rice that has no flavor. Today it was like noodles with fry sauce...so yeah.
 
I can already tell this will go by really fast. I feel like I just got here but its been 5 days since I left. Can't wait to see everyone again.
 
I cant upload pictures at the MTC so you'll have to wait. I myself have taken exactly six pictures. Unfortunately the memory card you guys gave me holds 8 MB.....so in other words I'm out of space...so I'm gonna have to go find a camera card. Oh and one more thing really quick!  The postal service is on strike! Haha
 
I'm down to 30 seconds left so I have to hurry and say bye!!!
 
I Love you everyone!!
 
Elder Lucking
