August 23, 2016- Week 1

Hey everyone, this is Griffin's sister Julie. Throughout his mission I am going to be posting emails and pictures that we get from him. His P-days are Tuesdays while he is in the MTC. He will be there until the end of October. If you want to send him a letter or a package full of candy his address is:

Elder Griffin Hughes Hansen
OCT27 MON-ULA
2005 N 900 E Unit 245
Provo, UT 84602

Once he leaves the MTC, I will be posting the addresses of where he is if you want to send him a letter. If you want to send him an email, the address he will be using is griffin.hansen@myldsmail.net

Here is Griffin's first email:

I'm pretty good, the language is a little frustrating because its so different from English in like every way, and it feels like I'm not making like tons of progress but I'm only a week in. Me and Elder Udall (my companion) have been teaching this investigator in Mongolian over the past week, we've gotten her to start praying and reading the Book of Mormon, so we know that much Mongolian. My roommates are pretty cool, but they are leaving today. It was really funny because they're also going to Mongolia and one of them is named Elder Okamoto and he pretended like he was a native to Mongolia the whole first day we were here, so he only spoke in Mongolian the whole day but he was just pranking us and told us the next day that he's actually from Hawaii.
Everyone is excited to go to Mongolia, its just that we're not sure yet how we're going to survive the MTC, the food is okay but it gets to you after a little while, its pretty heavy. The classes are fun, we definitely don't focus as much as the teachers want us to but we're learning and I think that's probably the most important part. Its weird cause everyday you can feel the spirit at certain parts of the day, and its really cool. The days at first were pretty long and tiring, but they've gotten a lot faster and a lot less tiring. I'll send some pictures the first chance I get. Love all you.

Elder Hansen
