Scenes from The MTC

From Mom Metcalf: Gavin's Pday(preparation day) or his sort of day off for those of you who are unfamiliar with LDS terminology....is Mondays. I got another letter telling me of how he is doing.  He is learning slowly but surely.  He struggles with his need for perfection but says that at the end of the day he is satisfied and sleeps really well.  He is thankful for all the inquiries from home and feels your prayers and support. He made fun of me....he says I must have given his address to everyone under the sun. Out of his trio companionship, he is the only one that has gotten real letters and packages. But he is loving that also. He says that sometimes in the down time it gets boring so being able to look at his mail helps. He is learning so much every day. He realizes that although he is the one who will be speaking the words, it's actually the Holy Ghost that will be teaching through him.  Anyhow, he's in a great head space. He's loving his group and in particular his companions....Elder Seo is from Sandy, UT and is Korean himself. Although he learned the language as a child, he doesn't speak it very well.....yet.  And his other companion is Elder Dait, who is 25 and from the Philiphines and Gavin says he is goofy.  Which in his estimation is a good thing. He sent along some pictures too. Enjoy.
