Ben enters the MTC tomorrow!

Yep. That's right. Tomorrow is it. He's going to dive headfirst into the scriptures, and into the Spanish language. :) 9 weeks there, then off to Mexico! Exciting neh?

Just a note.... anything I (Jeni) add, like his location or whatever, will be italicized. :)  Everything else is him. He sent an email earlier, so here it is!


Hi, so as you can tell this is my email. I can email all of you during my mission. I plan on sending one BIG email every week to everyone and then when I have the time I will answer the more one to one emails, etc. I hope to hear from you guys as much as possible, and I'm looking forward to getting this started!

So this last week I have been with Stephen and Tricia, doing some fun stuff etc. Got to see the Conference Center and the Salt Lake Temple. The rooms in that Temple are AMAZING to say the least, ask Stephen and Tricia about my craziness and how jumpy I was. Anyways, Tagged along with Stephen to his classes yesterday and today and went and stalked people at his work as well. Oh so very exciting. Haha. He also taught me how to make a garment burrito, it's AMAZING haha. I will send pictures of all this soon, hopefully before I leave for the MTC. Kinda getting nervous for that as well, and hopefully I don't have a, as Stephen puts it a 'blubberfest', when I leave for that. Gonna get my pink tie as well the morning before, but yeah it's gonna be good.

Gotta go now, but Jeni, can you post this on my blog and any emails I send that you think is appropriate for the blog from now on? Thanks

Love you all and will talk to you soon,

Elder Winslett

Next up will be his first letter from the MTC itself!
