To the future missionaries

The letter I received today was addressed to the future missionaries, priests and mission prep class.

Hey everyone, the MTC is so cool but during gym time, make sure you play volleyball with the sisters, it's so much more fun.... AND DON'T DRINK THE O.J.!!!

There will be days that are so hard but just remember your elders are there for you and we all go through it.  Don't worry, it's fine, just forget about you and think of others.

If you have the opportunity to see the film "Character of Christ" from David A. Bednar, see it!  (it's on a Sunday film after devotional)

Another tip is to get focused; the closer to the spirit you are, the more fun it is.  In the MTC it's cool to be a dork. If you follow the rules to a T, it's going to be a lot of fun.  Bring extra ties for tie swap (ones you will never see again).  If you go on a mission for you, or because it's the right thing to do, you soon realize that that's not a good idea... come to SERVE GOD!!!

Also don't plan on writing a lot of people because you have no time.  Oh and get the badge retractor and a paperclip for the key... trust me, it's worth it.
