June 26, 2009

Hello Everyone,
*
Ok so I have a lot to tell you I made a list so that I could get everything in it and so I would not forget. First let me just start by saying that Mom I hope you get better this is not the week for you to be sick. Sisters take care of her and make sure she knows how much I love you and want her to feel better so she can enjoy the week.

Next I just got the paper that said I got a package so I will go and get it later today. Thanks for sending it. I don't know what you put in it but I am sure it will be great. I hope you won’t be mad at me but the next box you send if you could put in it my pair of jeans that I said I would want (I know Katie you told me so :) also the book Jesus the Christ and my search for happiness. Also true to the Faith (that one is in my white tub 2nd draw). Don't hate me I just realized how many things I forgot and should have brought. I am sure I will think of more later :)

Ok so now onto the other things and answering your questions. Mom a normal Sunday for my district goes like this. We wake up at 6:30 (6:00 for me) and get ready go and study then go to breakfast at 7:30 then we have more study time until RS at 10:00 (all the sisters at the MTC) and then we have president interviews (with our branch President...Pres Shelley) and then lunch and then more study time and then Sacrament at 3:00 with our zone. Last week I had to give the Prayer in Spanish...let’s just say I was a little nervous but It went ok and I still lived. Of course how could I die I was talking to the Lord :) Then after that we go to dinner then I go to choir practice with my companion (tons of fun) then we have a fireside and then a movie. by that time it is 9:00pm and time to plan and go to bed. A Busy day but a good one.Next you asked if I have seen any General Authority.....NO not YET however this week all the new mission Presidents are coming in to get trained and guess who is all here, yep all the 12 and the Prophet. I have not seen any yet (they keep everything blocked off for them) but tonight we have a devotional and we are told it will be a good one so I will probably see one tonight. But it should be great I am excited. I will let you know who it is and how it goes. I am singing for it tonight so I get a reserved good seat. :)

My district it good all the elders are great and we get along well. We have 12 in all 4 Hermanas and 8 Elders. We are some pilot group for the MTC so we are treated extra good. Instead of hard seats with desks we have nice computer chairs (that spin and go up and down so fun!!!! :0) and tables. Instead of a little room we have a rather large one with a big red wall :) Instead of paper and pencils we have.......LAPTOPS. Yep I said it Laptops. They want to see how it goes so we get a laptop to take notes on and use the language programs and mormon.org and lds.org. WE have full internet access but we are not to use anything except for Google docs (where we take our notes) and the church websites. Pretty cool huh. However, we started with pen paper for the first two weeks so I kind of like that but the computer does come in handy. But I think I might keep my pen and paper so all my notes can be in one area. Our teacher tells us that we are a Celestial group ha ha ha whatever (it has its advantages and disadvantages we are the ones getting all the kinks out.) We can't use the computer to e-mail so I am at the laundry room writing you right now and doing my laundry.My teachers are great one of them however is sick with Mono so we keep having subs so we might be getting a new one we will have to wait and see.

Mom as for my e-mails you don't have to send them to everyone since Becky set up that blog for me now they can just read them there. However keep sending them to Arica and Alli (when Mindy gets out and I get her e-mail you can send them to here as well). Thanks for doing that for me and Becky thanks for the blog. You are all the best....

Margie- I am happy that you liked you gift I had fun making it. I miss you tons, I got you hymn cover and I love it. I figured out what everything said and I really do love it. My district likes it too. Some of them said I want one where did you get it and I said you have to have a cool sister like I do and then you can get one.:) I love you tons and tons and miss you tons more. I love you MOP BUCKET!!!!!As for coming to see me I can't wait however with this whole mission President thing going on I can't get to the person I need to talk with but I does not have to be right now so If you want to wait till next month that is fine. I will ask and see how long you can visit and if you could eat lunch with me and all the details. Fridays are my P-Days ( I have the temple in the morning till 10 (except these next two weeks it is closed for cleaning) then I am free to do whatever until 6:00 at night ) so you could come on that day but really any day would work I am always busy and I will just have to get out of class. So just pick a day let me know and I will figure out the details and let you know as well.

Tell Grandma that I love her and miss her tons. Thanks so much for everything you do for me I could not have asked for a better grandma. This letter is long enough I am so sorry it is a good thing I found a computer with no timer or I would be out of luck. I think I covered everything. Have fun this week Good luck on your talk Margie and good luck with the musical number all of you. I love you tons This church is True. Joseph Smith was a true Prophet and he did help to restore this church. I am so grateful for eternal families (you are all the best). I love you all!
