saying goodbye, then right to work!

Saying goodbye to the fam at the MTC curb.  Mom's eyes are almost swollen shut from crying.  And just a few short hours later I had a quick few minutes to write my first email:

I am here at the MTC and they've got me started right away! After I write this email I am going right to French class! I love you guys lots! Thanks for making my sending off to the MTC so special, you guys are awesome, I miss you already! I will email you with a much longer email on Monday, until then, au revoir!
