The MTC is amazing!

 I totally made it to P-Day. The MTC is amazing! I have had such a great experience here. I seriously have had my testimony grow 500 times the size it was in the past week. It is incredible.

My companion is Elder Pehrson, he is a really good companion and helps keep me in line. I have the best district in the entire MTC for sure. In my room we have me and my companion and then we have Elder Featherstone and Elder Staker (our district leader), the other half of our district is right next to us. Our zone leaders are in our district and they are Elder Avery and Elder Zaugg. They are the best. Super fun group of guys. We also have Elder Chapman and Elder Hanson in that room. That makes up the entire district. My room is all going to San Jose and the other room is going to Roseville. Super fun group of guys.

It was awesome walking into the MTC and the first thing they do is put that name tag on you. It has an orange dot on the front so everyone is welcoming you to the MTC because you have a noob dot on. It was fun but today there is a new group of missionaries coming in today and it is going to be cool to see them all and see how far we have all come in the past week. I can't wait to get out to California though. It is way too cold here!

Okay, so I wasn't nervous when Austin and Maddi dropped me off, but I was nervous when they picked me up. Did you know that they have random seatbelt parts laying around on the floor of their truck! It is not safe back there. I could have died! You better talk to them about taking good care of their children.

I am at the main MTC campus and it is really cool. Lots of good missionaries running around causing all sorts of tomfoolery! My typical day consists of about 6 hours of class and 4 hours of study time. Then there are meals... the food isn't as bad as everyone makes it sound. And, I'm really upset because everyone is like the MTC is all about singing "Called to Serve"... I've only sang it twice so far. "Praise to the Man" like four times.

We started teaching our first investigator on the second day and we have him committed to being baptized. We have taught him the first three lessons and it is going super well. Me and my companion are rocking it! We got our second investigator on Monday and he is a bit more tricky that the first guy but we are teaching him again tonight and it is going to go super well.

The best part about the MTC has got to be my district though. They are great! They make the days go by and all the stress go away. The MTC has been a breeze! We have had two awesome devotionals so far. On Sunday night and then last night. We had Elder Robbins of the Seventy last night and he talked about opening our hearts, then eyes, then our mouths. It was really a good devotional. Don't have time to go into too much detail but it was great. If you guys need a good talk to hear I recommend trying to listen to "The Character of Christ" by Elder Bednar. It is super good.

I miss you all and hope everyone is doing awesome! I pray for everyone every night!
Well that's all I have for today! The next time I email I will be in San Jose! I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Love, Elder Maxwell :)
