MTC

the mtc has been great my companion racado is from zim  (zimbabwe) and my current companion elder ratchicopa is from petoria. the food is great the lessons are still slow cant wait to actually get out of the compound. everyone calls it that because of the walls that are around us. they include everything that a prison compound has from a security guard to that classic slinky barbed wire to spikes on top of bars. we arent allowed outside of it other than when we are in the van on the way to the temple at which point we are in yet another walled compound. yes there is barbed wire around the sides and back the front is a spiked fence and the sides and back are electric. i am used to the food and the climate here is like the fall back home occasional rain and cool. I Have been blessed with many expierences. some of the teachers are crazy but you get used to them. my companion tells me that i have lost my american accent and now my accent is more south african. my missionary training center president just peaked in and said to say hi to everyone from him. Micah i am so happy that i get something that you didnt in the mtc. i am able to talk to the presidant at any point that i want did you get that? once again if you know anyone that might want this email share my contact and i will try to include them in the list or tell my mom and they can be a part of hers. i hope that all of you see the blessings. count them. and know that you are loved. i wont be able to contact you for the next 10 to 14 days because i will be on a plane on the next preperation day. love you guys and see you then.
