This week some things actually happened, schedule is still pretty full and lots of classes. We went to the temple. Some things that happened - saw a deer running around the MTC - my companion got reassigned from south africa to California  Can't believe my time at the MTC is already halfway over and I'll be in the field next week. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 4VmeWBJsKiM6UCMF6

This week has been good. I went to the MTC in person on Wednesday and met my district. I got a different companion than I had in home mtc but my new companion is chill. Lots of classes and not much free time. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 4VmeWBJsKiM6UCMF6 This was actually sent in week 2 so I'll send week 2s email later today
