I arrived safely here at the MTC. I sat next to Travis on the flight from Salt Lake to Paris. I changed seats with another missionary. Well I have really done nothing today. We basically arrived and they said do whatever. We watched a devotional by Neal Anderson from the Provo MTC. We had dinner. When we arrived here we didn’t really do anything. No classes had started.
I had a Spanish conversation with some lady on the plane. Two missionaries lost their bags so they will be coming in a few days. That is no bueno. We also missed the flight from Paris to Madrid. There was only an hour lay over. We were even there 13 minutes early but boarding had already stopped. We were only delayed an hour and a half, so all is well.
When we arrived in Spain nobody checked my passport. We had dinner here, it was chile verde. The group of us who arrived here earlier walked around the grounds here. It doesn’t seem as stressful as Provo, but we shall see if that changes later on.
The MTC is only three floors. The maximum overflowing occupancy here is 93. There will be around 50 of us by tomorrow. They said lots of times they have less than twenty. The MTC president here knew who I was (he is from our stake). Sorry I am not capitalizing, the shift button on the keyboard is strange (we edited the caps). There are also Russian letters on this keyboard.
They said every Thursday they take us around the city and go and see the sights, and we get to go to the temple weekly also. Pretty soon it will be in Spanish they said.

How are things at home? Is Bruno (our dog) doing fine? The question mark sign is at the top of the keyboard along with an upside down one ¿ How was the drive home from the airport?
They also said that we do street contacting. So that will be exciting. There is a gym here but I have no yet been to it. We drove to the MTC in a pick up toyota truck, which I probably wont see another truck for a while. I am not really sure who my companion is yet. I have been here for quite a few hours, but I am not sure. We have wondered around a lot here (the majority of the missionaries arrived the following day). I know this companion is only for a day, then we get a permanent one at the MTC. The Pres said we could go to bed whenever after we finished the devotional. I am not all that tired though. I probably slept for like 3.5 hours on both plane rides.

The clock on the computer uses military time. I guess they do that in Europe. What have you guys been doing today? Are you all alone mother or did father not go to work? The airport here is fairly close to the MTC. It was only about a fifteen minute drive. I talked to a girl who has also ran a few marathons. She is from Sun City Idago (wherever that is). Lots of the workers here do not speak the best English, and some do not speak it at all, but basically all of the missionaries do. One is from Finland.
Well I shall write you all again soon. I think on Thursday, but I am not certain.
I love you all.
love,
Elder Jason Kinghorn
