1st Week in the MTC

Terri here: Reilly likes to abbreviate words/phrases, so hopefully those who are reading this can figure out those abbreviations......Good luck!! 

Hi my enter isn't working so you're going to get a really long line ok.... Why have you got so many questions.... i'm still tired as. they feed us tonnes but my stomach isn't used to the type of food so idk its 'ehhh' but i'll be ok. dw about the pj shirt i won't need one until the field, i haven't noticed bc i'm just washing the same 3 sets of clothes so i don't have to unpack haha (you can wash whenever you get a chance). 

I wrote you guys a letter yesterday bc they told us to so you'll get that at some point. there are 4 other palangis (5 if you think Elder Flemming is) 2 from uk (Elder Gilmore and Sister Kinouche  both coming to Hamilton how awesome is that), Sister Travers from Canberra, and Elder Garcia Kempf from Spain. I think there is about 20-25 missionaries in total and only 4 of them are sisters. my companion is from the north ... just him and his mother, no siblings, he's 23 (I'm pretty sure I'm the only 18 yo here) I can't remember if he said she was a member; he's got an accent and he's quiet. like really quiet. Elder Ale and Flemming sat in different parts of the plane but we met up as soon as we got off. pretty much everyone is going to Hamilton (including the Tahitian Elder who barely speaks english so I try to speak some french to him), Adelaide or Melbourne and there is one going to PNG, 2 to Auckland I think and 1 or 2 to Wellington. and dw I always pray bc "Cox" is too easy a name to remember. last night I closed the fireside and then opened the devotional not that long after.... I think they forgot that I had just prayed hahaha. 

see you, 
Elder Reilly Cox
