Here we are in the MTC, doing the obligatory "point to the place you are going" pose, with Eugene doing the pointing to Brookings, Oregon.
Maybe I should explain a little bit about who Eugene the Jeep is. You kids who are too young to know need to find an old - really old - black and white Popeye cartoon. The Jeep was Popeye's magical disappearing dog. You can probably find one of the cartoons on youtube.
While in the MTC for 5 days, we met some really great people, headed all over the world for different types of missions. We heard some inspiring speakers and had excellent teachers, too.
For those of you planning to serve a mission anytime in your future, be warned - the food is not as fabulous as you may have heard. However, there are some pretty okay desserts and there is always ice cream.
