With Elder Parker's older missionary brother we developed a system of grouping all our questions together in a questionnaire format to make it quicker and easier for him to give us the answers. When I asked Elder Parker if he'd like us to do the same thing (because I always have a LOT of questions! lol) he said:
"Use the questionnaires they're top notch!!"
Here's some of the things we learned from this one...
His comp is from Manti Utah and he likes pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, Heath bars and the Japanese hi-chew candies we get from the Oriental Market in Roy! He doesn't snore and he sleeps DEEP! (good thing! lol)
There are only 2 of them in a room designed for 4. He has the bottom bunk by choice (easier to make, get into, and pray), the bed is not comfortable and there are not enough pillows!
Everyone in his district of 6 will be serving in the Italy Catania mission.
The MTC cafeteria "food is great, most days lol =o)". Meals are at 7am, 11:30am and 4:30pm ("so early for din din")
About getting enough healthy food - "yeah but its only salad and I'm really sick of salad". Are healthy snacks available in between meals? "No only junk... i.e. soda, candy, chips. Send nutrition bars? "yes, please!".
They get to go to the Provo Temple on Tuesdays for any ordinance work but baptisms.
About the 10-12 pounds of training materials the MTC gives - "ha ha it's fine, its' all good stuff" and he is glad he took his backpack because there are "so many materials lol =o)"
For workouts (when able) he does bands, run, basketball and he enjoys it.
I asked about any form of FHE and he said "on Monday nights we just have classes and MDT (missionary directed time) so basically study. Tuesdays though we have a devotional with a GA (General Authorities) or an Apostle so that's sort of like that I guess!"
We also found out he can call us from the airport when he's on his way to Italy!!!!! He said the Catanians leave on a Monday morning early instead of Wednesday because they have further to go. He said they will fly to New York then to Milan Italy, then take a puddle jumper to Sicily then a bus to Catania!
