Mike's first email to the fam

We got our first email from Mike and thought that we would share it with you.

Hey guys i sent this to all the email addresses i could think of. i think i got dads work one wrong so youll have to send that one to me so i can get it to his also. But anyway i only have a half hour a week to write emails in the MTC, the program has a timer at the top that goes to zero then it erases all your work if you didnt send it before time runs out! its pretty intense. Anyway hows everybody doin? What you been up to? Have you put the truck up for sell yet? oh and you guys should send some pictures of the fam, the puppies, my bike :) and the truck just for fun. then i can hang something up on the wall in my room. for the bike picts get on my laptop, go to the "Mike" folder > Pictures > Ridin > Cache Valley MX scroll to the bottom and print the big air one and a couple other good ones.. that would be cool to have, maybe a couple of trapper cuz he's in my district. Thanks! Well life here at the MTC was pretty crappy for the first 4-5 days but now its gettin pretty fun actually. They have like a call center here where people call to order free media from the church commercials and website etc.. but anyway we were calling the people that had ordered them to make sure they received it or not, mostly you get answering machines but sometimes you talk to the people and ask them if they received and then you can ask them if they would like a the missionaries to bring over a free Book of Mormon and to give them a short lesson of the gospel. while we were doing this the other day i got three people to accept the missionaries, it was cool cuz, they just called to get a free bible or a dvd or something but now they will have the chance to hear about our church and hopefully improve there lives. Its sweet to be a part of that.. Ahh crap well I'm about out of time so ill write you all a letter this week. and i miss you all! By the way if you write me using Dear Elder it will get to me Faster than email cuz i can only get on that once a week and the dear elder things come twice a day :) so have fun in the real world, thanks for the food! you can send me more if you want! please and some Mtn. Dew would be awesome too, they don't care :) Love, Mike Hooley (Elder Hooley)
