Hello Family and Friends! The MTC is great and we as a zone have so much fun. My companion and I have an investigator named Andrew. He is a die hard Denver Broncos fan. We have had 4 discussions with him and he loves it!!! The spiritual high of the week was the devotional that we attended.
I would like to introduce you to my Zone of Elders. First there is Elder Kaibetoney. He is my companion, he LOVES Star Wars and helping me to tone it down a bit but he is always a great guy.
My other roommate is Elder Christensen. He only says one thing, "Ok". So every time you ask him, "Hey...how are you?" He says, "Ok."
Elder Lewis is fun and has an addictive laugh. He is the jolly fellow of the group!
Elder Gentry is tall and the lisp speaker of the crew. He hides in his room at night and rumor has it that he will snatch elders at night if they come too close to his door.
Elder Carlsen is funny and will eat your candy stash when no one is looking.
Meet Elder Hicks. When he speaks, he sings one song that leaves you thinking about life. "The Misty Mountain" by the Hobbit. He will also beat you in a debate.
Elder Moody is the "Uncle Aaron" of the group. If you let him, he will tell you great stories that leave you wondering if he was actually there. He spares no detail. He also speaks in monotone.
Meet Elder Warren. NEVER sing or speak of "Ghost-Busters".
Elder Johnson is the classic Elder that has that "will you wait for me?" girl back home. He is also a leader of people.
This is Elder Shaat. He is a country boy who would wear cowboy boots 24/7 if he could. He also eats just like me.
Elder Checketts loves to crack jokes left and right. He also often asks, "Hey...do you need extra toilet paper?" and then proceeds to roll it to you.
Elder Johnson is our Zone Leader. He tells you he wants only one thing, EXACT obedience. And then he will read you a scripture about obedience.
Last but not least is Elder Shaw. He is the Narnia hole guy, he wants to leave as many gifts as he can in every hole in our dorm rooms. We also question his ability to read social cues and has no filter.
This is our Branch President and his wife with my district. I was made District Leader when I arrived at the MTC.
This is our Zone in front of the Provo, Utah Temple. Can you spot me? I'm the one in the WAY back towards the left.
I also ran into THIS random guy who wanted my picture. I love you Elder Morrison. Good luck on your mission!!!
I love and miss you all. Please be good! Kayla, know that I pray for you every night along with my other siblings and cousins. Our Zone prays together at night and I specifically ask them to pray for my family. Sending love to everyone, including Ben Beaudet! Love, Elder Orton
PS: I leave Monday the 9th for Alaska. I depart at 3:30am for a 6:00am flight. I have a layover in Seattle. LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
