Elder Christensen's First Day In The MTC

Wow, what a day.  Today was my first day in the MTC.  This missionary life is going to be different.  I feel as though I better start humbling myself and repent so that I can receptive to His spirit.  I will truly need His help if I plan to make it.

I held together all week long until I said goodbye to my family this morning.  Perhaps I could have made it if I would have said goodbye to each member at different times.  All together it was too much and the tears came.

I met my companion Elder Brown.  He is from Ohio.  He seems to know a lot of Spanish.  I hope he can help me.

I saw quite a few people.  Jeff Smith, Eric Dahle, Jep Hunter, Mitch Klaich, Bruce Johnson and others that I can't remember.

I am tired and I am going to bed.  I will read scriptures first.
