" Thank you for all the support through all the letters and e-mails. I love you all very much, but I love the MTC!"

" All I heard before my mission was that it was horrible and it sucked, and I've come to find out that they must have had a horrible attitude that probably affected the outcome in the missionfield."

" I got my name tag and it is sick!"

" I met my companion, his name is Elder Pinter! He is awesome! He is from Alabama and has a crazy cool accent! We get along great!"

" I've seen Colby and Chris a ton and it is pretty cool!"

" Another thing I guess you should know is that Hmong is crazy!! I love it! I'm so glad to be learning a language.

" Me and my companion are zone leaders over 5 districts. We've been in meetings all day and training, so it's pretty exciting!!!! Overall the MTC rocks! The Church is true"

Peace out.

Elder Allen
