I MADE IT!
Thanks so much for the email, it was so nice to log on and see I got my very first missionary email! Sorry I didn't call you from New York, we got delayed a lot in Salt Lake and had to run through New York's airport to get to our plane in time--stressful! But there was a group of about 5 of us and we made it through. The plane to Madrid was wicked long, and the seats were so close together I had no room! But they let me go sit in the front where there was more leg room...thank goodness. Anyways, I got to Madrid at about 9:50 and got picked up and rode to the MTC. Holy crap this place is amazing. SO beautiful and incredible. The temple is amazing! We get to go through every P-day morning, which is on Thursdays, so you'll get another email from me tomorrow! It's weird, because I don't feel that far away from you guys, which helps. I'm happy that I have a family who supports me in this.
My companion is Elder Cahoon (my first thought was Calhoon from The Best Two Years and I was a bit worried haha) but no, he is great and very hardworking. I can't wait to get started. We found our classroom and our dorm, they let us email you guys for just 5 minutes to tell you we got here okay.
Tell everyone I said hi, and I love them. I'll send a longer email tomorrow with more funny stories from the plane :) Thanks again for the email Mom, it meant a lot. And good luck with the Spanish podcasts! I'll send you some Spanish stuff tomorrow haha.
Love you all,
Elder Franson
