Elder Shapcott's first letter home

Elder Shapcott wrote home the day he entered the MTC and we received it 6 days after he posted it. The first thing they did after the devotional with families is check for their shots which he passed without any problems. After they collected their luggage and ate they met as a branch and went over rules, schedule and had a testimony meeting which everyone bore their testimonies. He said the Spirit was strong. In his branch there is another Elder from Canada going to Sweden (he thinks). Most missionaries in his branch are from Utah. He has a good companion (didn't mention his name) that he said will help he to be punctual (that is Elder Shapcott's weakness). He said that he wasn't nervous until he was in his branch meeting and they were learning their rules and schedules. He hopes he will be able to remember all he has to do. He shared a scripture D & C 1:17-39.
