Hello! I´m alive everybody! I love the people here in Spain!  The MTC is so great (even though sometimes it feels like a prison).... The reason why its so great is because everyone here is so happy and willing to work!   They only give us 30 minutes to email so that´s really sad so hopefully in the field I´ll get more time to say everything I want to say!

 There are 28 missionaries total in my MTC.  It´s a lot different than other MTCs but I really like it because I can get to know everybody here! Most the people here are going to spain. There are 6 that are going to Russia, 5 going to Portagul and 1 that is speaking French (my companion).  So this MTC is 1 zone and I am lucky enough to be the zone leader!  It´s so awesome to be here and to get to know people from all over the world!

My district is so amazing! It´s just me and 4 other girls! The girls are the sweetest girls and I love being with them because they are the hardest workers and want to be good missionaries.  So yes I´m not in the same district as my companion, he is in a district by his lone self learning French.  But my district there is Hermana Olson (Montana), Ratliff (cali), Toone (Jordan High), and Marsh (Murray High).  I´m the only boy so I´m designated district leader haha.  I wish I had time to talk about all these girls but they are so amazing!

My Companion is Elder Pien from Canada.  He is asain and the the first time I met him he pretended that he hardly spoke english. After ten minutes he finally told me he spoke English and it was so funny because I completely believed him.  He is sooo funny and everyone loves him.  He was struggling being in a district by himself so I tried to come in to his class and ask him how he´s doing as much as he could.

Ugh I wish I had more time! I love and miss you all!

"Here is the first email from Kathleen at the Spain MTC: ...Before dad asks, there are 26 missionaries in the MTC and I travelled with 11 sisters and one poor elder." - See more at: http://hermanasykessalliesforth.blogspot.com/2014/09/i-love-mtc.html#sthash.8ySZl3xO.dpuf

Hello! I finally made it to the  Spain MTC after long hours of flying.  I was the only male missionary on the flight I flew with 11 sister missionaries so that was fun!  It wasn´t what I was expecting but it was a good time.  My p-day is Thursday but we won´t write this week so I won´t be able to write again until next thursday...

 

But I´m excited to be here! The temple is write next to the MTC and it is so beautiful.  The people here in Spain really do have a different dialect.  It´s kind of a lisp but it´s cool I like it.  I´m glad to be  here and I´m excited for my first week here in the MTC!
