I believe they send them out to LDS families in the local area as well, in the nearest MTC to myself. One thing I'll personally never forget about the MTC - the food! Absolutely second to none, they have a very high budget in this department

Call me whatever you desire!
I'm not worried about the cold weather. I've NEVER lived in the snow so I'm looking forward to that experience. Also, I like cold overcast/rainy weather. So I'll be just fine!

Congratulations! I've been absentee for awhile, and I just saw this (I guess it's only a week old). I'm really excited for you. You should find out if your mission president will let you log onto LDS.net while you're in the field, because your contributions to discussions here will certainly be missed.

I do sincerely doubt he will allow this. There are many things on this forum that a missionary shouldn't really be seeing throughout the duration of his mission. It's just another temptation that isn't really necessary.
In the few mission areas that I am familiar with, the rule in the white handbook of only visiting official LDS websites is pretty much stuck to with the exception of one, which may have allowed them to visit fairlds.org. The reason for this is that they allow their missionaries to give out that website to investigators (whether rightly or wrongly) and it would seem silly if they weren't allowed to look at it themselves.

The white handbooks says that they can give out a website like fairlds.org. Wow.
Last I knew the only access to the Internet was to send emails and those were to only to family. Parents and siblings. They are not to be emailing all their friends either. Last I knew.
The white handbook is the same throughout the world for missionaries. It does not change from mission to mission. Mission Presidents can and do interpret it differently at times but the booklet is the same.
