OUR FIRST EMAIL

He will spend his first 3 weeks at the Provo, Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC).

There are 19 buildings on a 39-acres site which can train up to 3700 missionaries at a time.  More than 600,000 missionaries have come through the MTC to be trained for their church missions.  This training includes Gospel study, safety rules, health and fitness, and language study in more than 55 languages.  Colton will not be learning a foreign language as he has an English speaking assignment.  Here is a link to a description of a typical MTC schedule: What's Life Like at the MTC

Here is his first, brief email letting us know he has arrived.
