Elder Braedon Lukens: MTC Week 2

Hey family, so I´m not going to New Zealand yet! My visa was having more issues so I have been temporarily reassigned to Indianapolis Indiana! I head out on the 19th at 3:30 am! I thought I would be disappointed about this sort of scenario, but I really don´t mind it. I´ll go where he wants me to go! All I know about the mission is... actually I just realized I don´t know anything! I only have my flight information! The notice told me to email home as soon as possible and give all of the information, but I don´t really have any. I could give you my flight number though! A320-100/200 Seat 25D. Make of that what you will.

I'm loving it here, and I sure feel prepared! I didn't realize the LDS church was so small over in New Zealand! I expected it to be a lot larger! I'll keep the meal portions in mind! We actually had a devotional by L. Tom Perry. It was amazing!!! I love the spirit that you feel over here so much! And the Zone leaders are a companionship in the zone, and they're in my district. I honestly think that my district is the best one in the whole MTC. These men are stellar! We all have the same drive for obedience, and we all are working hard, and none of us have problems getting along with anybody. as a district leader, when I have to interview all of the senior companions, we always come out laughing and smiling because we all know how great the zone is, and how there's no problems between any of us, and we are all worthily exercising the priesthood. We get to go to the temple tomorrow! I feel so starved from it, I think it's been over two weeks since I've gone! I'm literally going through withdrawals! Anyway, I love it here! and now I'm heading to somewhere else I will love! And then another! What's not to love?

I love you! 723 days to go!
