Still in the MTC

TK is still doing very well. He's getting along a bit better with his companion, though he says they still yell at each other sometimes. (I'm grateful there have been no fist-fights)

He's working on the language which is coming along nicely, the lessons are coming along better too.

He loves getting care packages, and prefers savory treats to sweet since they provide lots of cookies and the like with virtually every meal at the MTC.

He's also dominating at hoops and says that the other elders are getting a little tired of his mad skills. But what's a divo to do?

I've asked him to send me his memory card from his camera so that I can post some up to date pics for anyone who may actually read this blog, so if he does that, I'll certainly post updates.

He also says it's nice to see our Bishop 2 or 3 times a week, and he sees Sister P. several times a day since her office is just around the corner from his classroom, so he's seen some familiar faces which has been a great help. President C. has even seen him at least once and describes his countenance as "glowing". It's great to hear all of these things, what a comfort it is to know he is in the hands of the Lord.

Thanks to everyone who supports him and prays for his success.

As he says "keep the faith"

Respectfully,
TK's Papi

Good to hear he's doing well. I have to tell you something funny that your daughter told Lee on Sunday. She had two wallet-sized pictures of TK in her scriptures. Lee said something like, "Who's that?" She said pointing to each picture, "This is Tiny TK one and this is Tiny TK two." She's so cute! I did notice that all through sharing/singing time in Primary she had his pictures in her hand. I thought that was really sweet.

Thanks Cari, we love to hear about the funny things our kids do.

She caries those pictures with her everywhere. We all miss TK a lot, more in fact than we ever thought we would, but I think it's been hardest on our baby girl for sure.

I suspect that it's hard to fathom 2 years when you're only 8, since that seems like a lifetime.
