Dear Grandma & Grandpa,

Since my parents are out of town you should call them and read this to them & share it with the rest of the family too. When I first got to the MTC they sent me through a line of people and each person gave me something. Such as a name tag, MTC food card, and all the other good stuff. But it was a shock. I took my bags up to my room and went to class. They don't hesitate with dropping you into your classes.

I was the first one in my class. I was sitting there visiting with my teacher and an Elder walked in and I recognized him from somewhere. I have never met him before so I asked his name and he said Elder Harrison. He was my companion, we got to talking and neither one of us has ever met before but we both felt like we had. I know we have met it may not have been in this life but I know we are meant to be companions. We get along great and I also have another companion Elder Nelson. He went to school with Shayla Madsen. We are one of the only threesomes in the whole MTC. I know I am supposed to be here. I can feel the spirit when anywhere I go.

The food is okay, it's not as good as Alaska, but the living conditions are much better. There is always cold water in the morning no matter how early you get up. But it wakes you up. We are doing something all the time. We go to class 16 hours a day. O mylanta I have ADHD. It about kills me but I will live. It hasnt' hit me that I'm away from home yet but I'm sure it will and you will know when because it will be a juicy letter. LOL! But all is well and I am doing good.

I was made Senior Companion today so it's even better. But I know I am doing the right thing I can feel it in my feel goods. I know this church is true. Once you come in the doors of the MTC there is no way you could deny it. 2500 missionaries all in white, its like no other when all the elders and sisters sing it brings tears to my eyes. I love you guys, I could not have asked for a better family. I love you & miss you.
Love,
Yellow Horse/Elder Clark
