Entering the MTC

We caught the shuttle at the SLC airport.  Debbie and Wayne Watts were our ride  to the airport.
    We received our name tags and paper work.  We accomplished our check in tasks.  Book store, travel office, Immunizations check.  all were ok.  We had a short orientation meeting.  Then went to lunch.  We had a turkey terriaquie ( sorry I don't know how to spell it) with pineapple sandwich with sweet potato fries.  We looked of Elder Ogden but didn't see him.   There are lots of girls here as missionaries.  All sorts I was watching to see what they were wearing.  I should be alright.   We took our picture by a smaller world map.  A missionary was passing by and took it for us.
    At 1:00 we had another class at the end of it they divided us into districts.  Walt was hoping not to be called but he was.  So he is our District Leader for the next 4 days.  There are 3 other couple in our district.   We went over our list of things to check on and found out where every one is staying and phone numbers.
    I used all our minuets up last night so we didn't have a phone number.  We have replenished our minuets for the MTC.  They want us to have a phone number.
    They told us were to go for our district meeting. I took Walt the wrong way so we were the last ones to arrive.  Oh Well.   My sense of direction often gets me into trouble.
      We finished at 3:30 and went to find our Romanian teacher.   They wrote an emil to her.  I don't know if we will see her or not
       At 4:00 it was dinner time.  I thought the young people would come later but they didn't.  We were invited to sit with a couple with our district.  We hadn't eaten very much when a young man said "Hi"  It was Elder Odgen.  We was sitting further down our table.  He looked our way and saw us.  That was cool to be abel to talk to him for a few min.  Later we saw him in the hall and we took our picture with him.
   We had to waited for an hour for the shuttle to the Merriott Hotel.  This is where we are staying.  Don't tell the young missionaries.  We will go over to the regular housing on Sat.  For now we are in nice digs.
   Well I guess that is our day.  We still have to unpack and do some studying of Preach My Gospel. We also have to be in bed by 10:30  Wow that might be hard for me.  I am tired though so it will be a welcomed time.   We have to be in class by 8 a.m. that is after breakfast etc.
  Night all.
