Hello Everyone!!!
Clarke said my horrible use of capitals and punctuation was like a bad blog and it killed the inner English teacher within... To that I say.... DEAL WITH IT!!!!! I only have so much time to write emails so if i miss a capital or two, its only because i have a lot to say and the shift key slows me down!!! haha!!
CONGRATULATIONS BRUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU AND I'LL BE AT YOUR BAPTISM IN SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE HOME DEPOT HOTTIE BECOMES THE HOME DEPOT MORMON HOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man... that was a lot of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s.... anyways....
So i got to FINALLY go to the Provo Temple this morning! it was awesome!!! It just opened back up on Monday after being closed for the holidays. so I'm glad i at least got to go once. Also... the food there was amazing.... not that the MTC food is terrible... the temple food is just BETTER. haha...
We've been doing A LOT of teaching this week. Since my district is here for an extra week because of the holidays, we've pretty much gone over everything we'd normally go through if we were here for only 3 weeks. but this extra week gives us extra time to prepare lessons and teach it and whatnot. so i'm all happy about that.
I got my flight plans too! I have to be at the travel office at 3:00 AM in the MTC to give them my packed bags and stuff. Then we're getting on a bus to go to the Airport. I'm flying with 10 other Elders to Little Rock, and I'm still the only Sister. haha.. So the flight leaves SLC at 6:00AM and its with Delta. We're flying to Atlanta, Georgia first, and we have an hour and a half there before our next flight to Arkansas. This is all happening on Tuesday January 15th. And i found out that During the time in Atlanta, we're all able to call home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO!!!! BE HOME IN THE MORNING ON TUESDAY BECAUSE I'M CALLING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if nobody answers, that will make me sad... but i'll call dad's office if it comes to that. I'm excited to talk to you. hehe...
Thank you for not sending me any food this week. i really do appreciate it. However... the amount of real letters i'm getting is significantly decreasing so when we get our mail each day its kinda sad... but then I come onto my email and get two huge Randi emails. haha! Oh.. Also Randi... You can continue emailing me. And if you ever decide to mail me anything I'm all for it. I just print your crazy long emails and read them later. haha... But just so you have a preview of the letter i'm gonna send you today, I love you a lot and the Church is DEFINITELY true. haha...
And Monie... WHAT THE CRAP?!?!?!?!?!?!! I've only gotten ONE email from you!!!!!! Where's all this mail you were so excited to send me?! I love you and all... but honestly... Where's the love for me?... haha.... i mean.... 14321414322223232354!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And about the BYU devotionals.. I dont go to those ones. Those are for the BYU students... The missionaries at the MTC have their own devotions that I'm pretty sure aren't broadcasted... D. Todd Christofferson spoke this week. It was my last general authority devotional hear... sad.... but i did at least get to sing in the MTC choir which was cool. I quite liked it.
Also... David... You're the only not-family that's sent me a real letter. Thank you SOOO much. I really like getting your letters. Like A LOT.
For the rest of you... that's not to say i dont appreciate emails, because i do. i just have to wait longer to check my email. i know letters are delayed by like a week, but i get to open them right away. i dunno... mail is just more satisfying.... hahaha...
Yeah... This has been a pretty normal week... Except for when Clarke told me Cecilia was pregnant and my heart stopped, but then i read the "just kidding" part.... yeah... not cool Clarke... not cool....
And Ian!!!! You have to tell me about your new years!!! mom said it was eventful. you didn't kiss anyone did you???....
Basically thats all... Lots of teaching... lots of studying.... i memorized D&C 4 finally... haha... yeah... I'm excited to get out of the MTC though. I'm ready to do some real missionary work... So. Invite the missionaries over to you home!!!!! They appreciate it!!!!! And also... teaching member lessons is totally more fun so let the missionaries teach you!!!!!
OH!!!! one last thought.... theres a new teacher here at the MTC who got back from his mission 2 months ago.. Brother Ballister. He served in Edmonton!!!!!!!!!!! We were basically instant friends. He served in Connors Hill for a while, but never made it to Forest Heights or Highlands... but we know a lot of the same people, so it was cool.
Yeah... I also got some pictures developed so I'm gonna be sending those home today too.. hehe... pictures!!! i heart my camera.... anyways... times up!!!!!
Next time I email you it'll be from Arkansas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
