hi

Hey mama!

Tell bray thanks for the CDs. He will probably want some kind of coat for the MTC. You walk around the campus a bit. an Ipod should work just fine with a speaker. But so do the CD's. I think they give a little movie player to every missionary companionship, but I'm not sure. We watch our little training videos on it and you can play CD's in it. You don't even need a speaker for that.

Tell him not to bring a Preach my gospel. They'll give him one. He'll need his English Scriptures though. They give him spanish ones. Tell him they have cute little preach my gospels that are like scripture size and he can buy one of those in the MTC. They are small and convenient. You can buy pretty much anything you need study wise in the MTC. They have pens, paper, journals, scriptures, notebooks, etc... The missionary library is great! Jesus the Christ, Our search for happiness, etc... I don't now about anything else. It's probably different for the Elders. That's awesome he got in intermediate! If he was in advanced, he'd be with like the natives, so intermediate is good. Does that mean his MTC stay is shorter?? When we were there, the intermediates only stayed for 6 weeks. 

Thanks mom! you're the best!

Love you!!!!
