Wow, I'm already at the end of my MTC stay and let me just say - thank goodness! My experience here has been absolutely incredible! But I'm ready to get out there and proclaim to the world that the gospel has been restored!
Conference was an amazing and enlightening experience, even though I was incredibly uncomfortable on the bleachers we got to sit on. Nevertheless it was amazing.
Brothers and sisters, my testimony has grown so much as I've been here. I know that this gospel is true and I know that the Spirit resides in those who are worthy.
I love y'all!
Next week I email I'll be in good old Arkansas!

From Jen (mom): He called us from the MTC on Tues. and was excited to be flying to the mission home in Bentonville Arkansas on Weds. April 10. We got an email from the mission home letting us know he arrived okay. Here are some pictures from the mission home. He will get his assignment on Thursday and will write home next Monday on P-Day to tell us where he'll be serving.
