Flying Out
Elder Holyoak flew out this morning. He did get to make a few phone calls at the airport. He is very excited to be done with the MTC and on his way. His request was to PLEASE send letters, packages etc. He loves dearelder.com because it is so fast!

1st Letter to whole family
Hey 'rents.. and fam,
Well first day was rather boring, my companion is really... like soft clay he try's to mold to the people around him. I fell both blessed and challenged by this, its like having a young kid following me and looking to me.
I ran into Josh Crandelle today. He is in the same building and on the same floor as I, our exchange was brief and I mocked him about his sister :) and made him help me unpack. I ran into Johnny Web at dinner but only talked briefly about meeting up later.
I haven't cried and I don't plan to, not because I lack love or I don't miss you all, but I said good bye and shed tears for each of you before coming here.
I know what I am doing is right and that it will benefit me most of all. Please forward my box # to all. (Tyler text it to...whole list) Don't ask why cuz I want letters and pictures. Thanks, Bro.)
I love you all.
Elder J Holyoak
PS There is a pull up bar :) I can smoke anyone in my building 20+ :) I still want Batman sheets, send stamps and a a jump rope. My goals are: 30+ pull ups, 100 sit ups and 100 push ups no stop by the end of 3 weeks. Spiritual goals are out numbered so... If you think of one you are probably right . Let everyone know my address. Emails will follow. I'm tired. I'm out. I'm a missionary.
