Hey Tryon family??

I hope things are going good at home because things are going great here! The only down thing is I’m the last one still here from my district. My two companions left this morning so I am now companions with a couple Elders in a younger district, which means my 3rd Trio companionship at the MTC! haha it really has been great though. I have learned so much this past week from just studying on my own and going to the Temple. Since that’s about all I have done this last week. I got to go to the temple yesterday and today! It was great. I really had an awesome experience today. When we were going there I was really thinking I wouldn't. We went as a whole zone and it’s hard trying to keep that many Elders temple reverent. We formed a huge line outside the temple and people were getting upset that they had to wait for us. I was pretty shocked that people were getting angry when going to the temple? I was trying to get our Elders to let them (the people) go ahead but there is really only so much you can do in a line that long. So some people were going through the exit doors when they would open to get around us. The sliding door was closing on one guy so he just stopped it with his hand and forced it open, I was pretty impressed. Haha, but that’s why I thought the temple wouldn't be a very spiritual experience that day but it was. Something that president Dickerson shared with us the night before, really got me thinking, and then during the session, twice, I heard some things which really shocked me. Then in the Celestial room I opened up to Moses and saw it again, then I turned to another chapter and it was there again. It was so awesome! I love the Temple.

I think I probably will have to be a fat missionary on the plane because I don’t know how I’m going to do it.

I was released as a zone leader on Sunday. Here at the MTC it doesn't really mean a whole lot. You just have to go to a lot of leadership meetings and interview all the district leaders and just watch over the Zone.

I hope you get my package and pictures alright. I might end up having to send another package home.

I got to go; I will call you Monday sometime from the airport. I’m thinking it will be in the morning but not exactly sure. Probably between 9 and 11:30, or after 2:00, but that is Utah time so I don't really know. But I love ya!
