First Letter from the Missionfield

Today, June 6th we got our first letter from Elder Tinkham. Here it is:

Dear Familia:

I was advised to write you on the first day. I am here to let you know that I am okay. I am all moved in and everything is situated. I have no idea what I'm doing here, there is so much for me to learn, I know that it will take me awhile to get used to this, but it will be a great experience.

My 1st companion is Elder Cardon from St. George. He is tall, fair-skinned and red-headed. Boy do I love him, he is the best companion I could ask for. I'm in the same room as Elder Klingler (Kaleb) from South Jordan, I knew it would happen (Kaleb and Tyler went to Bingham High together and took piano lessons from the same teacher). My other roommate (his companion) is Elder Sinclair from Indianapolis. He also attended BYU (Tyler attended BYU). I have had countless hours of orientation, and countless more to come. It's going to be a great 9 weeks here in the MTC. My departure date at the moment is set to be August 3. So, Dallin I might be able to call you from the airport on your birthday! I can't think of much else to say at the moment, my P-Days are Mondays so that will be letter-writing time. I don't know if you got my address... if you didn't...

That is my accurate address, so please take note of that and mom please put it on facebook.

I love you!

Elder Tinkham
