Touchdown in the UK!

MTC Day 1: July 9th, 2015

Hello everybody,

We safely landed into Manchester at around 7:40am and oh my goodness! England is so beautiful! Everything is green and the way the sky looks with half overcast, half sunny is fascinating! The weather over here is AMAZING. this morning was around 41 degrees and right now, its about 60ish(huge guess) but It`s the greatest thing so far. No more walking out into the sun for 5 minutes and sweating up a storm!

Myself and 6 other missionaries arrived at the MTC together and we`re all really good friends already. We`ll be having 12 or so more coming in alter today due to the delayed flights so that should be really fun to meet all the new greenies too. The MTC is quite amazing. It`s got a very nice reddish brown brick color scheme going on and it is also 3 floors! In the basement, the cafeteria and all the delicious dining takes place and where all missionaries staying 2 weeks study, and then the 2nd floor is where missionaries learning a language reside, and then the 3rd floor is where the residence halls will be. The pictures didn`t come close to how beautiful it is in person. We`ll be able to have some free time today to just relax and go play some soccer and take a walk around the temple(WHICH IS LITERALLY A BLOCK AWAY:)) until dinner time. I`ve barely been here for 4 hours but I seriously love everything! My MTC president is President Preston and he is such a stud! He`s super funny, relaxed and jokes a lot which is awesome way to connect with him(with my amazing humor you know) but his wife is darling and his assistant president Miller is another rad guy and his wife is another sweet lady. I`m looking forward to being able to learn from my MTC president and also from the other missionaries that are here as well. I`m looking forward to seeing what the coming weeks and days bring! ta ta for now!
