MTC Pictures!

Hello!! Jeff is doing very well. He is feeling better than he was last week and he is loving the MTC. Yes he says it is boring but he loves how much you can feel the spirit there! He will be singing a solo in church next week so he's nervous for that because president Monson will be there! He will be leaving the MTC next Monday so a week from today. Here are few pictures he sent me from the MTC! Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Got a letter today from our Elder Nielson and he is doing well. He wishes he could be done at the MTC and head out to Florida to start converting some people...eager young missionaries :) He is doing very well health wise accept he has developed some sort of cough, but other than that he is very healthy! He says the beds at the MTC aren't very comfortable and that he misses his lovesac at home as well as family and friends. He and his companion get along great and have had lots of laughs (as neither of them are very good at basketball). The two of them are on a health kick right now...drinking only water (with occasional juice for the diabetic!) and working out alot. His companion brought some way hard marines workout they've been doing every morning and night so according to him they are both getting very buff :) Well I gotta go! more updates to come! Thanks everyone!
