I'm here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i only have 5 minutes... so. here's some things.. 

My trainer is Sister Blake. She's from Tonga.

Mail me letters and packages to my apartment. Here's the address...

132 Cardinal Lane
Building 8, Apt 83
Cabot, AR 72023

Yeah..

Also... favor....

I had to leave my blanket at the MTC because it was too heavy... do you think you could possibly send me a blanket???? PLEASE?!?!?!

Also thank you for the bike. I picked it up today and its awesome. its white and green and matches my luggage. its funny.. and flowery. and girly. i love it..

and i need you to send me one more thing... i left all my cd's!!!! Can you send me my efy cd's, the hymns, the childrens songbook songs, and the mix cds of church stuff i put in the DVD case we took down to utah?? also... if ian can part with it... can you send his efy cd from last year too??? that would be awesome... our apartment is really quiet and i bought a cheap cd player... yeah... so if you could send me that stuff, i'll love you even more than i already do. 

Also... can you email sadie and tell her i say hi?? i miss her and i thought about her today.

my picture with the mission pres should be coming in a couple weeks. so look for that. i also wrote a short letter to go with it... i'm sorry i dont really have much time... yeah... so basically i'm in Cabot, which is 30 minutes North of Little Rock. Our apartment is great and i have my own bathroom. I brought sheets, but i just need a blanket to keep me warm at night... 

and if you could forward my new address to my friends. that would be awesome. I'm gonna be there for at least 6 weeks. so yeah... mail and packages to Cabot. THANKS!!!! anything sent to other places will be forwarded, so i'll get it, but it'll just take longer.

And it looks like i have dinner appointments every night pretty much. its awesome. I'm going to my first one tonight.

OH!!!! and my companion cant drive!!! but we have a car!!!! and since i CAN drive, i GET to drive!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its just like Grandma Dyer's car. so its cool! haha!!! so awesome.

yeah. Basically i love you all. I'm in Arkansas safe. I love the humidity, and its around 40 degrees farenhight... yeah... i cant spell that.... ummm... yea.... it looks like edmonton almost.... haha... but everything is really spread out. its a 20 minute drive to walmart. go figure... walmart capital and its not across the street. hahaha....

ummm.... yeah....

I still dont like flying... just wanna make sure you remember that...

I get to teach my first real lesson tomorrow at 1:00. so excited. Apparently there's another family, separate from this investigator, thats really close to baptism. woot!!! We just have to talk to the mom more and if she says yes, then her and her husband and son are are getting baptized together!! i think i'm possibly meeting them tomorrow.. but i could quite possibly have 3 baptizms on my first transfer!!! IN ARKANSAS!!!!!!!!!!!!1 hahahaha!!!! This is basically amazing.

Alright. So. i have a huge email to print out from randi. its an hours worth of typing. haha.. i love my friends..

OH!!! and tell monie i got the pop rocks she sent me!!!!!!!! haha... they were waiting for me at the mission home and i was excited. I love mail. So yes. 14 monie.

Tell grandma dyer what elephant shoe means please... she didn't know and asked me in the letter she sent me.. hahaha...

yeah... so clearly i had more than 5 minutes. that was a surprise. but yes. printing email, then going to dinner! so awesome!!!
