Even though it hasn't been a week I can email today because Saturdays are my district's preparation day.  On Wednesday I left the house at 4:30 in the morning to leave for my mission.  I arrived in Salt Lake City at 11:30am and Carley was waiting to take me to the MTC in Provo where I will spend the next six weeks before heading to Spain.

Fortunately, I have a great big sister and she took me to lunch at In and Out Burger and also Sodalicious.  Sodalicious is Carley's favorite and she bought me two of her favorite soda combinations and said I could have the one I like the best.  I ended up drinking both of them!  We were also joined by Austin, Ali, and Justin.  After this we were headed to drop me off, but we made one more stop at JDawgs (a favorite hot dog place in Provo).  It turns out when we go inside Nic Padilla and Ethan Knarr happened to be there.  They are both friends from when I lived in Lancaster, PA.  Small world!

We arrived late but there were still people outside to greet us.  This was lucky for us because since there was no longer a line to drop people off I was able to take my time to say goodbye and we took a few pictures as well.

My MTC (Missionary Training Center) companion is Elder Griffin. He is from Brigham City, Utah and will be attending Utah State after his mission. My district has ten Elders and two Sisters. Only four of us are going to Spain while the rest are going to Ecuador.  I am enjoying learning Spanish.  We have two teachers, a guy and a girl.  They are really good and they teach differently and it is a good switch up.  On Thursday our district memorized Moroni 10:5 in Spanish. The MTC is awesome and we are always staying busy.

Love, 

Elder Neuberger
