Dear Family,
So it's almost bed time here after my first day as a missionary. The MTC is the weirdest place in the world, but it's really cool too. I think I'm doing ok . I was randomly assigned senior companion (they do it by alphabet) so ya, we'll see how that goes.This is a huge change for me. I'm just glad I have an awesome family. I love you guys so much, LOL. I was not planning for Dad to cry like he did, it really caught me off guard and he got me crying too. I'm really looking forward to sleeping, the church is still true.
Love, Elder Porter
P.S. O ya , Elder Root is my companion. He's 20 and seems cool for sure.
P.S.S. Us Dear Elder.com, you can email it and I get a hard copy the next day or something.
P.S.S.S J/K Looks like I got some emails already LOL

I am a missionary!
When we experience the blessings of gospel living, we naturally want to share those blessings with others. The Lord spoke of the joy that comes into our lives when we share His gospel:
"If it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
"And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!" (D&C 18:15–16).
After His Resurrection, the Lord commanded His disciples to "go . . . and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). In fulfillment of this command, able young men in the Church have a duty to prepare spiritually, physically, and emotionally to serve as full-time missionaries. Single women and mature couples also have the opportunity to serve full-time missions. —See True to the Faith (2004), 104–6
