We received our first letter from Sister Brownell, she wrote on her first day in the MTC.  As Bruce was cleaning the garage he asked me to read it, of course I couldn't.  What an excited letter she wrote about her first day, her companion Sister Anderson from Sacramento, and what a great time she is having.

Danielle's first email, here are a couple of things she has to share.  I know she is going to make an awesome Missionary.  It is easy to see the love she has for the Gospel and her Savior, Jesus Christ.  I hope she is able to spread her message and helps other come unto Christ.

Let me start off by saying I LOVE THE MTC! I had heard a lot of positives and negatives going into the MTC so when I showed up I decided to make the best of it and enjoy it. One of the main things I have learned while at the MTC is how to truly stay intune to the Holy Ghost. As a missionary it is my purpose to Invite OTHERS to come unto christ.

I have learned that the first convert you must have on a mission MUST be YOURSELF!

ACTUALLY funny story. I am rooming with 3 other girls. They each have at least 2 suit cases that are as big/bigger than mine jam packed with stuff. I was the only sister (maybe in the whole MTC) with only 1 case. I felt way cool because I am a sweet packer. :) You taught me well.

Of course, I didn't include the list of items that Danielle has asked me to send to her.  She will be at the MTC in Provo until November 13.   If you are interested in writing her a letter, you can do so by sending mail to the address listed earlier or go through the Dear Elder.com
