Hey guys,
I made it into the MTC about an hour ago! Dave took a
picture.

They took me pretty quickly and
grabbed my luggage and then sent me to pick up some materials. I got a giant
package of language and other missionary materials and then I got shown to my
room. I seemed to see a bunch of different Ukrainian speaking missionaries that
yelled at me as I was walking across the campus. I'll be sharing my room with 5
other missionaries, should be nice and cozy. I dropped my luggage off there and
went straight into my classroom.
There was a teacher speaking only in Ukrainian--not very
helpful. After a couple minutes being very confused there they took me to a
computer lab to do a quick orientation video, and now I can write home! So far
everyone seems pretty friendly. Looks like there's about a dozen missionaries
learning Ukrainian with me in my same class, not sure yet which of them are
going to L'viv.
I've got a lot of language learning left to do (cause I
haven't started at all), but I'm sure if I study every day it won't be too
difficult. I don't know yet what my P-day will be; I don't really know much of
anything actually. For some reason the only thing in
the orientation is rules for using the gym during my daily exercise time,
nothing else. Thank you guys for all of your help getting ready for this. I
know it was pretty hectic and I'm very grateful that I had you guys to help me
out.
I love you guys and I'll talk to you again soon!
