Haha.. okay.. So same procedure. Looks like everyone I asked you to send my email to worked so thank you very much!!!! Please continue to forward it to them all!!! THANKS!!!!
And mom... you're welcome for using capitals in my letter. it takes too much effort to capitalize sometimes. hahaha.... Also... The computer is Cecilia's. She loaned it to me while i was in banff but it kinda sucks so i never used it. so do what you please with it.
So life is still really really busy here. Lots of learning and stuff. Sis. Adams and I got to teach the second lesson to someone yesterday and it was kind of a gong show. Sis Adams isn't really that confident in her knowledge of the gospel so she doesn't really say much when she has the chance... so i ended up teaching 80% of the lesson which was kinda frustrating so I've declared teaching Boot Camp on her. ahha.. I told her that she's gonna gain confidence from me. I know she knows it because we teach awesome together when we're teaching a wall, but bring in a real person and she freezes up. bah. But we will get better and i will keep you updated for sure.
also.... STOP SENDING ME FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we get fed SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much here, its REDICULOUS!!!!! Tell Darlene Marshall thanks for the huge bag full of Canadian candy, and tell Sis Corie thanks for the chocolate... and I'm not so grateful for the BOX OF DONUTS YOU SENT ME!!!!!!!!! do you WANT me to come home 300lbs?! haha!!! So I've learned that if i take the candy i get sent to me and bring it to class, i can totally get rid of it all quick because the Elders all eat the chocolate! haha!! pretty much its awesome. So the Elders in my district wanted me to tell you that they were grateful for the donuts.
I got the postcard and the DearElder letters too by the way and thank you sooooooo much for them. I much prefer letters over food in the mail. haha..
Also... they have a mini sister missionary mall here at the MTC so my roommates and I all went there and i totally bought a stereotypical floral missionary dress!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! full length and everything. its red. has flowers all over... and polka-dots just to finish it off. I'll have to show you a picture sometime when i get around to printing them. hahaha.... its so disgusting its awesome.... :P
What else.... oh yeah!!!!! So we have our special Tuesday night devotional meetings where a General Authority comes to speak to us. Last week it was an apostle, like i already told you. This week it was Elder Douglas L. Callister. He's the one that gave the talk last conference about "knowing that you know". So because that was my favorite conference talk i recognized him immediately and got really excited.. sidenote... I'm part of the MTC choir so we sang Jesus Once of Humble Birth at that devotional. Yes. Everything awesome connected. So he spoke on the Book of Mormon and how he came to know it was true and how he continues feeding his testimony. He had no note, no teleprompter.. nothing. He looked like he was praying the whole time until he stood up to give his talk. IT WAS SO AMAZING!!!! like... the spirit was SOOO stong after that meeting... i was sooo happy. i was actually trying to figure out when the last time i'd felt so full of the spirit and so happy before and the only time i could think of was when i got baptized.. haha. so i'd say that was a pretty powerful talk. basically it was awesome. but.... factorial X1000000... or... ya... just really really awesome.
I've learned that I can print emails too... So pretty much anyone can email me and i can print them and read them later and write a letter later on. yeah.. just an FYI. and also... can you thank Margaret and Sean for the picture of Robbie they sent me?? or you could just email this to them too. hahaha. i like hearing from them.
So. I've learned that i can do my email in a different building away from the chaos of the laundry room. This is how i'm able to put together so many thoughts. haha... So as soon as I'm done this, I get to go eat, then do laundry/write letters and then do whatever else i need to do too..
We haven't had the chance to go to the temple yet... the Provo temple has been closed the past while. but it opens up on monday so next and final p-day at the MTC i get to FINALLY go to the Provo temple. I'm so excited... woot!!! I loooooove the temple. Yeah...
So just know that i'm still really happy and working with my companion to help her out. I'm being patient, and I know she'll be an awesome missionary in the field. Thank you so much for sending me letters (remember.. not so much the food..) I really do appreciate all the love and support. I think of you often. I love you all. Keep up the awesomeness. Love you. Miss you. Dont be dumb, and that is all..
Oh and ps THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
