| This is Calvin and his companion, Elder Young pointing to where they will be going after the MTC(Missionary Training Center) |
The Missionary Training Center is awesome! When I first got here I was kind of nervous but then I noticed there were 840 other missionaries that were new this week....that is so MANY servant of Jesus Christ. It's so cool!

The first day was so crazy! First you walk in and get a packet of stuff like your name tag. Then you go get all your books and manuals, drop off your luggage in the residence. I was the first of six missionaries in my room. My host then took me to meet my teacher, Brother Durfee. He is so cool,but he only speaks portuguese to us which makes it really hard. The language sounds so cool!! I am excited to learn the language. My companion was the last one to show up. I started to think I wasn't going to have a companion. His name is Elder Young and he is from Alaska. I love him. He is awesome. We are having so much fun learning about each other.

The food isn't as good as I thought it would be, but I think I just have to find the good stuff! LOL
I made it past the first 48 hours. It's kind of weird and awesome how fast I'm getting the language and understanding different words. I am even starting to write in portuguese. It is so cool!
Tonight we had our 1st discussion. We prepared like all day long and when we started, I spaced out and forgot everything. Luckily Elder Young didn't and he kind of knew what he was talking about. It didn't go as well as I would have liked it to but it was fun! I am the senior companion. I forgot to mention that earlier. Que bom! Que bom! (all is well!) Hope all you guys are doing well back home!
Love you guys!
Elder Brown
Have a good day! tchau! (Bye)
