1st Email - November 20, 2015 (1:56 p.m.)

We got two emails in one day since we happened to respond when he was still on the computer. Here is the first one.

Well hello fam!

So far it's been amazing here at the MTC!  I've made some new Elder friends and my companion Elder Lambson is a pretty cool guy!  It's been quite a few days getting used to everything, but know that I'm doing amazing!  Wish I could see how you guys are doing and if you made it home safe, but it's been quite the journey so far, and I can't wait for the next 2 years!  Well, I've bought a few things that it turns out I needed, from a new journal to a laundry bag, it's been pretty interesting.

I hope to hear from you all soon and please, send me emails from my friends so I can talk to them.  I want them to know that his experience is truly amazing and something I wish they could see.  I hope they're doing well with school and everything going on. I love you all and hope you are all having an amazing time!

Sincerely, Elder Smith
