Missionary In Training!

15 January 2016

Hey Everyone!!
I've had a great couple days here at the MTC. I've already gotten to experience snow!! I went outside this morning to find a couple inches of it. It isn't as cold here as I thought it would be haha.

So my Companion is Elder Mau'u (Maoo) and we have become great friends, he's really funny and in tune with the spirit and a real blessing to have with me as I practice and learn. The two other Elders in my District are Elder Law and Elder Colon (Cologne). They are awesome. I was made a Senior Companion last night and Elder Colon is one of our District Leaders. We also have two Sisters in our District and they are Sister Rolan and Sister Pinhey (Penny). They are so bubbly and intelligent, It has been great to have their personality in our class because they make everything cheerful and exciting.

In our Zone we have 4 sets of Elders and 3 sets of sisters. I have not learned all of their names yet because we have been sooooo busy. But funny thing is that one of our new Zone leaders was on the plane with me from Arizona. His name is Elder Evans, he lived in Queen Creek.

I got a card reader so I can send some pictures back in my Emails. I will attach those separately with some captions for you.
I miss my ward Family and I can't wait to hear from you! I love all of you so much!

ELDERS IN OUR ZONE

These are all the Elders in our zone.  The Elder in the red tie (His name is Elder West) is from Pocatello, so he wrote back to his family and asked them to feed us to death! haha



IT'S SNOWING!!!

January 13, 2016

Most of us headed to the airport to see Elder Farney off on his grand adventure!

Everyone was so excited to see him off!   Mom can't wait to see how he flourishes and grows as he learns new things, meet new people, and has amazing experiences and even some struggles.  He is an independent and strong young man - he has an amazing testimony that will continue to grow through this time!  We love you Elder Farney!!


Little man was so excited to help with the luggage.



Look Bubba!!!  I fit - can I go on your mission with you?!


Missing one - but we are all excited for him!


Best Buddies!!


Such a sweet, sad face..


Brotherly Love!


I don't think Padraic has ever hugged dad so hard or long.


He loves his momma!  She is so excited for his adventure!


And he's off!!!!  Take care of my boy Pocatello, Idaho!
