The MTC overview

Elder Clayson said the first four days were really rough because it was hard to adjust to the spiritual boot camp but says " It is a really humbling experience to work with eight different people with different ideas, problems and concerns, but as we have all worked together to teach and strengthen each other we gain so much more that we could have alone." Here is a little bit about the Elders in his District. His companion is Elder Bills who is from Murry. In his room were Elder Eyestone from Masa AZ, he is very simple and straight forward worker who rode bulls (His scriptures say Cowboy Up!). His companion is Elder Ipson also from Mesa. He is the funny guy who recives two boxes of candy a week so they are good in the candy department :D. Elder Eyestone and Ipson will be going to the Australia Adelaide Mission. In the other room are Elder Taylor, he is from California who makes everyone bust up laughing. His roommate is Elder Gruff, who reminds Elder Clayson of Cory. Both of these elders are going to the DE-trait Michigan Mission. Elder Bregonte was just added to their companionship for two extra weeks while waiting for his visa to clear. During his last visit to the MTC barber Elder Clayson buzzed his head. It's Super Cute! Elder Clayson made it to Florida on Monday. He was able to call from the airport and talk to his parents. In his first letter from Florida he says that it is a baptizing mission with every companionship expected to have at least one baptism every month. NO EXCEPTIONS! Awesome, huh? His P-days are on Mondays.
