MTC Updates!

Here are some highlights from Kyron's MTC stay:

-Kyron and his companion, Elder Parkin, were Zone Leaders.

-Kyron loved his teachers and role playing, but didn't love the long days.

-He stayed awake during all his classes!

-Kyron ran into our cousin, Owen Craven, a few times..."I saw Owen and gave him a hug! It was nice to see a familiar face!"

-He got locked out of his room a couple of times. "We got locked out of our room again last night so Elder Parkin and I had to walk across campus in our socks and pajamas, it was great!"  (Mom got a note thanking her for the foresight to buy a "bath sheet" instead of just a regular bath towel.  It adequately covered what needed covering when he got locked out of his room coming back from the shower!)

-He said the food is good but made him feel like crap cuz it's all cafeteria food and deep fried!

-He beat Kasey's record of cereal bowls 
eaten...Kasey did 17, Kyron did 18!

-He passes the picture of Uncle Ron and Aunt Becky everyday (Dad's brother: currently serving as Mission Presidents in North Carolina).

-He got lots of packages!

-"We sang in sacrament meeting. We sang the song that we sang at grandpa’s funeral! I could not help but bawl as we sang because it reminds me of the great example he was in my life!!! As we adjust the words to "we are NOW the Lord’s missionaries" I could honestly feel the Spirit so strong and it was like grandpa was giving me a great big hug!!!  Wow talk about a tender mercy!!!! (PS I’m crying just thinking about it while I’m writing hahah...people think I’m weird)"

He signs off every letter:
Never Surrender! Never Quit! No Regrets!
Kia Kaha!
Elder Craven
