Week 1 MTC

Hey all!

Made it to the MTC Wednesdayy morning and had so much good food here. I have two companions, one from south texas (mission, texas) and another from Bristol England. They are both super cool. I am learning portuguese quickly and have already taught an investigator three times. Tomorrow we will extend the invitation to be baptized. Its very exciting. The book store is full of good stuff and on my first week here, myself and my companions were assigned to be the zone leaders. That comes with lots of cool perks.Mostly I have to carry a cell phone. (Im such a rebel). My plane was uneventful except that I sat by a sister from south dallas who talked my ear off about her sons missions. I have lots of pictures but cant attach any of them cause this computer wont let me preview them. Any way my investigators name is Geraldo and hes from Bolivia I think.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT THE TEACHER NEXT DOOR IS IN VOCAL POINT. I AM SO EXCITED! I WILL SOON HAVE PICTURES AND HIS AUTOGRAPH! 

So in conclusion I am doing well I have nine hours of study time a day and cookies and cream milk isnt as good as it used to be.

O evangelho resotado e verdadiero. Eu se que families sao eternas. O livro de mormon e as palavras de deus.

Love "Y'all"

Quick update

We got our first email from Elder Lorimer late last night.  He is safe and sound.  He says the food is wonderful. He has 2 companions.  He told us to look up DearElder.com.  Which of course we already have.  If you want to send letters through that website it is free.  The information you need is Unit # 62, Mozambique Maputo mission, Departure date Nov 24.

He sounds really happy.  I will post his emails and pictures as they come in.  He has p-day on Tuesdays.

Elder Lorimer begins his journey

Oct 14, 2015 we put Elder Lorimer on a plane bound for the Provo MTC.  We left at 4:30 am to get him there for his 6:00 flight.  He wore one of his Dad's mission tags, and it warmed my heart to see him in his new role. We love him and are so proud of him.  I will post his emails home here.  Thank you all for the support we have had to get him ready for this.  We appreciate all the leaders, teachers, friends, and family who contributed to the Man he is becoming. Love to all!
