Matlock and his first companion Elder J.
Matlock's first roommates Elder's R and N.
Quote from his letter: "We've been trying to read up on all the rules in the white bible.  There are quite a few guidelines in there!  They want us to call each other "Elder" and so everyone in this room is working on getting out of the habit of calling each other dudes. It is a work in progress.  The first few hours were crazy - it was non stop action.  They took me to the bookstore and gave me a brick of books then had me run up to the fifth floor to my classroom.  I was a little sweaty after that.  Well we're about to eat breakfast soon."
