FRIENDS IN THE MTC

I lucked out and got the BEST companion...Elder W.

"He is from Santa Clarita California. (The same town that I lost my lunch on the log flume ride at Six Flags!! Hahaha!) My comp is pretty sick!  He loves the Packers and Coke.  But for real, he's a G-unit and we get a long great."

 

 

  

And I was very lucky to have some of my best friends there

in the MTC too.

 



Elder John Taylor (Tahiti), Sister Maddie Kramer (Philippines) and ME!

 

Elder Hunter Murray (Edmonton,Canada)



Elder Carsen Beyer (Lyon France)

Me and W. stole a HOST sticker and went to the curb
to see Carsen. He wrote me a letter saying he was
coming in at 12:30.  I didn't really know what
I was doing but we found his room and I helped
him get settled in.

Elder Jace Olsen (Paris, France)

The DAVIS HIGH crew!

Elder Taylor, his companion, Elder W. and me





Elder Blotter, John and I

John and I just messing around (like always)

John and I always snuck in Cokes and candy to all the devotionals.
It made us feel like we were at a movie!

Arriving at the MTC

and I am off!!

"So once I left you I checked in and got my name tag and went to class.  They just speak Spanish to you the first day so you don't understand anything.  It sucks.  But Hunter came and found me and I was so nic'n happy to see him.  I saw John in the big orientation thing and me John, Kyle Green and our comps ate together.  Also, Sister Kramer came and found me, I think it really helps to know a lot of people in here.  Seeing people you know helps you to get out of the dumps.  Also, Hunter stopped by before the end of the night and said "what up"  Hunter said I have to figure it out and I will be o.k.  I have to make it till Sunday."

Tuesday, Febuary 5, 2013 - SETTING APART

Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013 - MY MISSION FAREWELL

We woke up that Sunday to snow.  It ended up snowing all day and was difficult to drive in the storm.  Still everyone came out to church and
stopped by my house for lunch.  My house was chuck full of
Davis High students, family and close friends.

  

I shared my open house with my good friend Hunter Murray who was called to serve in the Edmonton Canada Mission.

MY FIRST BAPTISMS

One night before my farewell, my family went to the temple
to do baptisms for the dead.  I had the opportunity to
baptize and confirm Sydnee and Kyle.
 It was Syd's first time to the temple.

Saturday, December 22, 2012 - GOING TO THE BOUNTIFUL TEMPLE

I took my endowments out the Saturday before Christmas.  It was a busy day but my family and friends made it there anyway.  My Grandma Gee and Grandpa Don were there as well as Aunt Kristen and Uncle David.  My Grandpa Johnson, Aunt Melanie and the Grahams were there too.  Also, Baskins, Granges and my good friends from school came to support me.

Carsen Beyer, Kyle Green, John Taylor and Hunter Murray
attended the session with me and my family.
