Random Questions #2

Note:  Mom makes a list of questions in her correspondances and Elder Brenchley answers them:


1.  Do you get to go to the Provo temple on your P-Day?  Yes

2.  Have you seen Nick yet? (his cousin who teaches at the MTC)  No
 
3.  [We did some internet stalking/google searches] Is your companion's first name, "Dallin"?  Yes  Was he #21 on all his sports teams?  Yes  [Based on his stats, we guessed his positions - were we right?]  What positions did he play?  Corner/WR in football, Guard in basketball, & Center Field in Baseball, in which Grantsville H.S. won the State Championship this year.   Was he recruited by any colleges?  Not yet  Does he know my cousins, the Beckett's, from Grantsville?  Yes, from school

4.  Do you prefer paper (physical) letters or email letters?  I haven't gotten any emails, yet, and I WOULD LIKE TO open my email & see something!  Paper letters are good, though, because you can open those when they are delivered any day of the week, but I can only look at email on P-day.

5.  Why did you get new teachers for your 2nd week?  BYU started this week, and since all the teachers are students, their class schedules changed and so did their teaching availability.

6.  Is there another M.T.C. district that has WV missionaries in it?  Yes, it has six Elders and three Sisters in it - all traveling with us to WV on the same day.

7.  How many times a day does your D.L. pick up the mail?  He's supposed to pick it up twice a day, once in the morning, and once at dinner - but he forgets, so sometimes we don't get our mail!...Then we all give him a hard time about that!  ;)

8.  What are your duties as an M.T.C. Zone Leader?  We welcome all the new missionaries into our zone when they came in on Wednesday, gave them a tour, and told them all the In & Outs of the M.T.C.  During all the meetings we attend on Sundays, we talk about how we can become a better zone and any concerns there are with individual missionaries & how we can help them.  When there have been issues come up with missionaries, we have to go talk to everyone involved and assist in resolving the problems.
  
9.  Do you get to call home from the airport when you are traveling to the mission field?  Yes!  Between 6:30-7:30 a.m. on Tuesday

10.  Do you wear your full suit every day?  No.  Only on Sundays, to the devotionals, & large meetings.  Otherwise, I just wear a white shirt & tie.
