Elder Hegsted wanted us to ask him questions that he could answer about the MTC, so my questions are included in italics.
Dear Joshie-
Here are the questions so you can answer them...
I would love to hear about your companion, room mates, and district. What are their names? Where are they from? Are they all going to OK?
My companion's name is Elder VL He is from Highland Utah, graduated in 2013, and is 18 years old.
My roommates' names are Elder W and Elder D. Elder W is from Burley, Idaho. He is 21 and got his associates before he came on a mission. Elder D is from Evanston, Wyoming. He is 18, and his family owns an oil-field.
Yeah, my entire district is going to the Oklahoma, Tulsa mission.
How many elders/ sisters in your district? Who is the district leader?
There are 4 Elders in my District, and 2 Sisters. The 2 sisters' names are Sister H, and Sister S. Also, I am the District leader! I've been the district leader since Sunday.
Also, how bad is the food, really? I don't want you starving. Is there anything you are craving that I could send you? (Sorry, no German Pancakes. I can't send anything that would go bad in 24 hours.)
The food is awful! I am living off of the salads and chocolate milk. But I starve for breakfast, since they don't have the salad bar set up.
How was your week. Anything fun or exciting happen?
The 2nd week is fairly easy. We mostly sit in class and study Preach My Gospel. We do some role-play. Which is to say, we teach to a fake investigator. That's what most of this week has been about... Learning how to Teach People, Not Lessons.
I love you a lot!
Love,
Elder Hegsted
