Mason sent us these pictures this week!  He is getting used to the 12 hour days in classes in the MTC.  He has really seen some improvement in his French and is really excited about that.  His companion is from Idaho and they get along great.  Of the other two missionaries in his room, one is a cousin of a good friend from Lone Peak and the other one is former Gov. Huntsman's nephew.  He loves to get letters and emails.  He found out that the French consulate no longer requires missionaries to do a personal visit to the office so he wont be going to San Francisco for the day now (bummer).  He is healthy and in good spirits and loves any communication from family.  His departure day for France should be September 29th.  He also found out that because of the transfer schedule he will return home from his mission by August 3, 2016 (YIPEE!!!).

(The top picture is Elder Miller; Chad's cousin's son who went into the MTC the same day.  He is going to the Philiipines. The bottom pic is his district!)
