First Letter!

We received Michelle's first letter today. I will copy it here. She wrote this letter on her first night in the MTC.

Aug. 20th
So I just finished my first day at the MTC! It was fun, a bit overwhelming but fun all the same! My companion seems pretty cool, she is from Montreal Canada, and French is her first language, English her second. We are in the intermediate class! Apparently we are still here for like 9 weeks.
There are 3 other Hermanas in my room, and 2 are leaving for the field on Monday, which I'm beyond happy about b/c all the bottom bunks are taken, so I'm on a top bunk, which we all know is very dangerous!! But no worries, on Monday I will be safely on the bottom bunk!
I haven't run into any of my friends yet, but hopefully tomorrow! My Branch President is President Romney, he is a judge, the name sounds so familiar, is he the guy that has been helping Paundrea? If so, small world!
My P'day is Tuesday's so after today, that is when you will be getting e-mails from me!
Oh, my first meeting, they made me sit on the front row because I didn't have my family with me, and because I sat in the front row, they asked me to give the closing prayer! It was crazy!
Well all in all it's been a crazy day, long as well, but I hear tomorrow is gonna be a lot longer! It is almost 10PM so I need to go get ready for bed
Love Ya lots!

PS
There is a quote by Adolf Rupp in my classroom! The Church is True!

Cool Fact of the week #1
If you read 3 chapters a day you can finish all the standard works in 11 1/2 months!
