Well, I now realize how nice receiving letters is, much nicer than emails. I would much rather receive letters, at least till I get out of the MTC. Once I'm in the field I don't think there is a cap on your time. Right now I just can't express myself well in emails cause I don't have time. So this next section will just be a big general letter that you can type up and forward to those who want to hear from me.
Well, my first two weeks at the MTC have been great, besides the fact that I got strep throat after being here for two days. But I'm over it now so it's all good. I know you were all thinking I would put on a bunch of weight here, but I haven't! Haha, probably because I lost weight when I had strep because I basically didn't eat for two days because I couldn't swallow. I literally felt like I had been hit in the throat with a 2X4. But I received a blessing from my companion and after seeing the Dr. I was 100% better in 2 days. While I've been here we've had 3 devotionals, and in one we were able to hear from Elder Holland. It was very powerful. He told us we must be the best missionaries the world has ever seen because the world is more wicked than it has ever been. Seems almost impossible when you consider the sons of Mosiah, and some of the other great Book of Mormon missionaries. I know most of you probably won't believe this, but I have been singing in the MTC choir, the first choir I have ever sung in. Every member of my district wanted to go, so I kinda had to, but I actually really enjoyed it. The directors are hilarious and probably spend half the time joking around and telling stories. I have had the opportunity to teach 2 mock "investigators" which was an awesome experience. The spirit was so strong. I have an awesome companion who is a great teacher and so both of our lessons so far, I feel, have been very successful. Well I would love to hear from you all. If I had more time to email I could get ahold of you that way, but they only give us 30 minutes, which is not enough time. So my address is
Elder Duskin Cole Donaldson
MTC Mailbox #217
BOL-SC 0126
2005 N 900 E
Provo, Utah 84604-1793
If you could shoot me a letter I would love to write you back. Thanks again for all of your love and support.
Con Amor, Elder Donaldson
