Letter Home - Week 1

Hey Family!

It is so good to hear from all of you! I love and miss you guys! I'm glad Kaylee had a great week at girls camp and that she learned a lot. I'm happy for Kim and David for being able to move out. That so exciting. I would love to hear from Jay and Mike as well. I've only been here a week and I have learned some amazing things that I wished I had learned earlier in life, but I'm very grateful to be able to learn them now. My testimony of the gospel has grown so much as well. The Spirit is so strong here. It has been an amazing experience already. The other missionaries here are great. I already got my prescription and have been using it every morning and night. I've been taking pictures and I'll send some to you next week. My companion is Elder Clement and he is from Lindon, Utah. He is awesome and I'm glad I am able to be comps with him even if it's only for this short time. I am flying out to Barbados this Sunday evening at 6:00. I'll either end up in Barbados or St. Lucia for the first part of my mission. I'm excited to head out there. Our schedule here is so packed that the only time I get to email or even look at it is for an hour on p-day. Here at the mtc it is a little different and I have p-day on Tuesday but starting next week it will be every Monday since I will be out in the mission field. On Sunday, my birthday, we had sacrament and priesthood which was very cool. It was fast and testimony meeting so a lot of Elders and Sisters including me bore testimonies and it was a cool experience. We also had a devotional where Sheri Dew spoke which was really powerful. The best thing we did though was watching the character of Christ by Elder Bednar. It was one of the greatest talks I've heard. It was so powerful and I was changed from it. I wish I could watch it again but they only show it here at the mtc. I didn't really do anything specifically for my birthday but that doesn't matter to me. I had a great day. I loved spending it learning about the gospel in one of the greatest places on earth. I wish I had more time, but I'll write more next week. I love you all so much! I know this church is true! I can feel it!

Love,
Elder King
