Letter #2 (I promise I wont count them all)

Thanks again to all who love and support our family especially Karson / Elder Kartchner as he embarks on his "priesthood assignment." It feels like my weeks are now going to be measured by letters and our years by phone calls. Love and appreciation to everyone. Enjoy his letter, it sounds like he is doing great and enjoying this experience.

Hello again from the MTC. Its going good here and i hope it continues to do so for the last 5 days that I'm here. Well for uncle Ken and Robs bet I've maybe put on 2 pounds if that ha the food here isn't really agreeing with me so i don't like to eat too much. Other than that not too much has happened here ha I got the 2 packages that you sent and a few Dear Elder letters from Allysa and Jared and Karlee and Kayden and Brad so make sure they know that I thank them for it and when mail is moving in Canada again I'll drop them a little letter. The time here is going fast the days seem like years but the weeks feel like minutes.

Yesterday I taught a mock investigator or a TRC as their called here and after I came to find out that the lady I had taught worked with Brad at the hospital so we had a little chat about him and I told her to tell him hi for me. It's started to get more hectic I have 6 investigators to study for so most of my personal study time is devoted to them. One of them is being really annoying because one day he believes in Jesus the next we show a picture of him and its considered an engraven image and he thinks Jesus was a prophet so I learned to remain calm and not start throwing around scripture. I sent Brad a letter for him to email to dad telling what scripture I wanted to put on my plaque so I hope he got it if he didn't i think its Helamen 5 12 its the one about the rock of my redeemer and it kinda stuck out.

Tell everyone that I love them and that I'm praying for them so they better dang well be prayin for me too cuz doin mock investigators is one thing but the real deal might test me a little. But everything here is fine and I hope that everyone else is fine too but let me know when the mail is good again and I'll send letters and pictures I just sent for some prints so you should be getting them soon and I also got them put on a cd so I'll probably keep a few of the prints and just send the cd and the ones i don't want but I love you all again and hope to hear from you soon. Sorry if the letters short but I only get 30 min and if i don't send it now I'll lose it till next week so to all who read this thanks for the prayers
Sincerely Elder Kartchner
