Dear Corbeil Family

Recieved: January 12, 2009

Haha I'm doing it! Finished with the first day. I have no idea where to start accept I know I need more note paper and stamps. I've met quite a few guys out here on the mission. Jenae, have you ever thought about serving? I was shocked walking into the airport. When I looked back for the last time it put a huge smile on my face. It was a lot harder leaving you all than I though it would be. Oh, Alyssa...thanks so much for the journal. I've already written about 20 pages. It's been a lot of fun. Let me tell you about the first day.

I was way behind schedule when arriving, me and three other missionaries. So I didn't get any packets. Basically everything I will be needing for the MTC. But all is well, I will have them tomorrow morning hopefully. I've learned a lot today. They just lay everything out and put it on our shoulders in the very beginning. I have two companions. Elder Wilcock and Elder Malachwski. They're kinda cool. Fun to talk to. Elder Wilcock looks a lot like Skylar Williams.

Our mission President told our district to write our families. Mainly because we will not have another chance to write for about two weeks. I hope it flies by it's amazing what the MTC does to people. President Taylor said we will be speaking Spanish by the end of the week. Which means this week we all really need to focus and rely completely on the Lord. I can't wait to write Rochelle in Espanol. I just want to tell you all that I love you. I hope to hear all about what is going on in your lives. I know it's only been a day, but it will be amazing to recieve encouragement letters through this super rough week from the ones I love

Lots of Love,
Elder Corbeil
