Hello Family!! Well its official. I love every single one of you guys so much! And i know its been like three weeks only, but i miss you all. Especially feeling this warm weather it reminds me of the times we would get together and just BBQ and chill at moms house and play with the kiddos outside. But the MTC is getting better, and my comps are getting better too. Just killin them with love. But i leave sunday!!!!! WOOO!!! 830 PM to LA. Then 1130 to FIJI. Than a 8 hour layover then 130 PM to tonga!!!! So because of layovers, flight times, and time zone change i wont get to TONGA until tuesday. But i guess its better than Elder Grobergs (Koli Poki) 3 month boat ride to Tonga. But the language is coming pretty good but lets be honest ill learn it in the feild. not the MTC. But just to let you all know the MTC is spirit prison!!! I wanna leave!! i feel so trapped!!! But i love you all!! thanks for the love!!

Malo e lelei famili!!? Oku ou ofa kimoutolu!!... and thats about all i got. Hahaha well the language is starting to come back, slowly. But I am learning alot. And i am greatfull to be here in the MTC so i can become prepared for the mission feild. I still have so much more to learn. But thats why I will study hard, pray hard, work hard, and be obedient. But I think its fair to say I miss you all!! Especially the little cute kiddos. So i heard Adam is yet another belt higher, which means by the time i get back and get fat (from eating all the Tongan food) that little guy is gonna beat me up!! Hahaha and man i miss Burts little guys... and i dont know why but little Lindsay is just one of the cutest little memories i have. I love all those kiddos so much. And speaking of KIDDO, Christee is turning 16!?!?! WTF?? (What the Fantastic) that is ridiculous. She is honestly is the most mature out of all of us. and shes only 16. But how is the family!? I hear lots of good! I heard Greg is finally married, and Christian is engagged!! Man i guess me going on a mission is a huge blessing to the family!!.... oh wait... none of that has happened. Hahaha YOU TWO BOYS BETTER STEP IT UP and continue to progress with your covenants with our Heavenly Father!! I am a missionary so i can declare repentance... So repent and be MARRIED!!! hahahaha just kidding guys. But seriously. Get married. Anywas... I love you all so much and i am so excited to be out here on my mission and serving the Lord. I love you all. Make sure to send me packages!!! hahaha ;) seriously though... send some. But hey i was actually gonna ask you guys, i leave sunday the 16th and i would really appreciate it if you could send some candy, like individually wrapped candy, and it can be super cheap. And some cheapo dollar store toys that would be easy to pack?? My buddy says the quickest way to the Tongan peoples heart is through their kids. And he said if you can bring some cheap toys and candy for the kids. because they dont have any. Well i love you guys and miss you all. -Love Eleta Kingi P.S. Greg give my love to Jaime!!! Then buy her an engagement ring! ;) hahahahaha never gets old.

First Letter! MTC May 30, 2013

WOW... i miss you guys. its been like four days but it seems like 4 weeks. And i forgot how much i hated the MTC. Im struggling because i feel like i should be in the feild. not wasting my time in the MTC. But i better be humble and grateful and take advantage of my time here. I saw my buddy MIKe and i found out he lives on the floor above me which is a huge blessing. I love you guys like crazy!! its nuts that i am out here. and its weird from going from the world straight to the mission, it is a huge adjustment. But hey whats dads email?? i didnt get it. And brroke thanks for bringing my temple recommend. But hey i love you guys tons. and the language is killing me!! i have forgotten so much. i was way good at tongan the first time i was here. but now.... i am terrible. oh well, i will learn right!? but how is home i wanna hear everything!! and hey my address is Elder Michael Ryan King MTC mailbox #62 TON-NUK 0616 2005 N. 900 E. Provo, Utah 84604-1793 But guys i know that the mission is the best thing for me and any other young man. I am grateful for this opportunity. I love this gospel and im excited to learn more. i love you all so much and miss you all!! Love Elder King
