Hey i just got to the MTC. The flight from Atlanta was actually pretty nice. The plane was only half full so we had room to lay down and sleep. I could't see much on the way in because i was right over the wing. There were twelve of us that flew from Salt Lake together the we picked up ten more in Atlanta and one in South Africa. there are only about thirty missionaries at this MTC so it is not very big. It was weird flying in because right after we left Atlanta it got dark and it stayed dark for maybe five hours then it got light and by the time we got to Joburg the sun was setting again. The mission President here saw my last name and asked if i was from Oak City and i said yes and he said we are probably related. On the flight we met a Gideon one of the people that put all the bibles in hotels room and stuff he was pretty interesting guy to talk to. The accents are pretty sweet and they have different words for everything. Some american swear words aren't swear words over here. It was dark on the drive to the MTC so i couldn't see much. Well i'm going to bed so i will talk to you when i can.

love, Elder Finlinson
