Life at the MTC...is sweet !

Elder Routledge made it to the MTC safe and sound and is very excited ! 

He arrived on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015 and we received our first email on Saturday, Jan. 17. This is what he had to say. 

 

So I am loving the MTC so much. The people here are so great and the food is so sweet. I am learning so many new things about the gospel and how to teach investigators, plus I am the district leader here. 

Elder Routledge and his room mates / companion

              
My companion and the guys I room with are so sweet. One is from Texas and the other two are from Utah. We are all going to California, just different missions. Two of them are going to Anaheim and the other one to Oakland. 
They are a really fun set of dudes and the Sisters I have class with are also really sweet. The MTC is everything I thought it would be and so much more. I have been having a lot of strong spiritual experiences and have had a lot of time to get to know the book of Mormon really well. I want you to know that I am having the time of my life here and I am learning so much and the MTC is like church but 50 times better. We are all here to serve God and that's how we all act, everyone here has such a big knowledge for the gospel, it's so great. 

Oh and the Americans here keep getting me to talk, they say they love my voice and how I talk and they keep saying they are going to move back to Canada with me haha. They love how I say "tag" and "bagel" and they love when I say "sweetness" and "eh". 

Please tell Sister Armsworthy, the Gregsons and all of the friends back home I am doing great and learning to really love this Gospel. 

I'm not quite sure, but I think Elder Routledge is enjoying the MTC and his experiences there ;-)
