Hello all,
I have my P-day today because
I am leaving on Monday! I am
really excited and really nervous to be halfway across the world. Not much has
happened in the last few days. We have been having lots of classes and
workshops to prepare us to enter the field. I have learned a lot from them. On
Tuesday we had a special
devotional. President Monson was supposed to be there but he couldn't because of
something he had to do. But the devotional was done by L. Tom Perry and was
really good. He talked a lot about the different statistics in the church and
it was really interesting. He related all the statistics back to missionary
work at it was really good. Also sitting on the stand in that meeting was 10 of
the 12 apostles. All of them were there except Boyd K. Packer and Robert D.
Hales. When they walked into the room it was really awesome. They brought a
strong spirit with them when they entered the room. It was way cool. That was
to coolest thing that happened this week. I leave on Monday and I'm really excited to get the the field but i will
miss the spirit and all the good experiences here at the MTC. I will probably
not get anymore mail while I am here after today and maybe Monday morning so all the people who want to write me letter
will have to start sending the letters to my Australia Address. So if you send
a letter to the MTC within then next couple days I probably wont ever get it, so
if you do that, you will need to send them again, all the way to Australia. The
best way to send letters to me while I am in Australia is my USPS mail. The
postage is only $1.05, and it only takes less than 2 weeks for mail to get there
or that's what I have been told. Once I get there they might tell us a better
way to have people send me mail, but that way will probably be your best bet for
mail. I am having good experiences here and the MTC is a great place. I am
Australia bound in just 2 days!!
Love,
Elder Kyler Powelson
