YIPEE!!! We finally got a letter from Kyle on Friday. I can't tell you how much better it made me feel. He said that he and his companion get along pretty well and are a lot alike, but the other two in their room don't get along very well. I'm glad he and his companion get along though. That makes life so much nicer.

He sang in the choir for a fireside where Elder Dallin H. Oaks and his wife spoke. He said the spirit was so strong when they walked in the room. It was awesome. He also said the choir sounded really good.

He taught his first "lesson" on the First Vision and said that he felt the spirit so strong that he cried. He loves it at the MTC. That does a mom's heart good to hear these things. I know he will be a great missionary.

He also said he is eating very good and exercising so please send him lots of treats and snacks. We've sent him a few packages and I know that Sis. Holliday has sent one. The YM/YW are sending him one this week too.
