It was Elder Nielsen's P-day today and we got our very first e-mail from him. YAY!

He is looking forward to the worldwide broadcast this Sunday. His companion is from Salt Lake City and will serve in Philadelphia. Ethan will leave the MTC next Tuesday (6/25) to head to California. Only 13 days in the MTC, then right into the mission field.

They have been able to do some role-playing as they practice teaching investigators. He said it is pretty cool and pretty tough at the same time. He mentioned that there are two elders in his district that are going to the Roseville mission, and he has become pretty good friends with both of them.

I can already tell that Ethan is growing spiritually and I'm so grateful for the help that he is getting from his Heavenly Father as he begins his mission experience.
