Hi Mom, Dad, Spencer, and all, Man there is so much to talk about. Thanks dad for the letter. It helped a lot! I miss you all so much and Love you all. I've had a pretty good first week at the MTC. My companion is Elder Isaac he is pretty cool, kind of like me a little quiet but we get along pretty good. He is from Utah and so is everyone else in my district except one Elder, Elder Larson, is from Pocatello Idaho. So it's kind of weird because Utah people used to annoy me. They are all pretty cool though. Today is my P-day, so every Wednesday I'll be writing. The food here is pretty good, but it has not agreed with my stomach at all! The first few days of this first week were pretty slow and pretty overwhelming. There was a lot of stuff to take in. It has been really good though and I've learned a lot and had many spiritual experiences. The last few days have gone by really fast though even though I've been feeling sick. It's all good though, I know that if I keep studying hard and working hard that the Lord will bless me.
It's funny I just thought about sports really for the first time yesterday, which is suprising I know ha ha. Thank you mom for the updates though, it's good to know that my teams are doing good so far. I've seen Keith and Gabe Robinson a few times this week and it's been great just to see some familiar faces and to talk to them about stuff other than missionary things. But I do know the reason I am here is to work hard and to put my full efforts into serving the Lord. I feel like I've learned so much already in this one week. I can't wait to learn more and to have more spiritual experiences. I love the Lord, this gospel, and I love you all.
PS I would write more but I'm just about out of time.
Love,
Elder Cooper
