Sorry this took me so long to post, I (Becky) moved to West Virginia last week so my husband, Stewart can go to school out here... we don't have the Internet just yet. I am at the Lewisburg Library doing this... talk about dedication ~Smile~

Hello Family!!!!!!!
*
So I don't have too much time 20 min and 20 sec to be exact but I wanted to say hello. Things here are going well nothing to exciting happened this week just the usual. Becky & Stewart I am happy to hear that you made it back to WV. Thanks for the description of the place it was good to hear. Mom the girl you mentioned in your e-mail going to Nashville I have already met so that is pretty funny. There were about 5 of them that came into the MTC on Wednesday I was hosting and so I met some of them and she was one of them.
*
I am so happy that you have all been having a great time together and doing fun things. Happy Pioneer Day. I didn't get to go to the temple today because they closed it for Pioneer Day :( sad day but I will go next week. Mom we will have to go as a whole family one day so that we can all have the experience together in the Provo Temple.
*
I can't believe that I only have two more weeks it is crazy to think. The time has gone so fast. I am ready to go but I don't know if my Spanish is but if it isn't it just better buckle up because we are going on a ride together ~Smile~ I am beginning to understand more and more everyday so that is cool. It is fun to know what people are saying.
*
Oh mom can you check my address for Nashville and make sure the address is correct. I was talking to my roommate from Nashville before she left on Tuesday and she said that the zip code you gave me was wrong. you gave me 87027 and she says it should be 37027 so just check in my book that I got from the mission and see which one is right so that I will have it correct. Thanks.
*
Grandma I love you hope you are doing well thanks for your letters they are the best!Ok so my time is running out. Sorry this is short but I love you all and thank you so very very much for all your support I would not able to do it with out you. Have a great day and know that someone in the M.T.C is thinking of you ALOT!!!!!! As Margie would say Sonrisa Siempre!!!!:)

Margie I just love you, you always know just what to do to make my day. It was good to talk to hear about the mission. It was funny because the president when he saw us together said, "Yep you are sisters, how many years between you because you look like twins. :)"

Nothing else major has been going on except for the fact that I am sick again and have been for a week. I got a stinken COLD again. I have been taking my meds (the ones I have) I went to the doctor today because I thought maybe I had an ear infection but he said nope just keep taking the meds you are and if it dosen't get better by middle of next week then come back. So I am just going to have to get over it. Hopefully soon because I am sick of it!!!!

OK, lets see what i can tell you this week. Happy one Month to me!!!! It has gone by so fast I can't believe it. I only have one month left CRAZY!!!!! So this week we have or I mean get to teach in Spanish. I am a little scared but I will be fine and I will survive. Nothing really major has happened. I get my pictures tomorrow so I will just send them home with Margie when she comes to get me. I hope that is ok. Oh about Margie. I need to know the time you are coming so that I can go tell the president and so he knows that you are coming and when to expect a visitor at the MTC. So just Dear Elder me with the time that you are coming. That would be great.....Thanks for all the news I am sad to hear about Mrs. Carpenter I hope she can get better. Mom I do get Arica's letter from both you and Maggie so if you want to stop that is fine I will just get them from her. :) thanks.
*
I hope you have a fun time at the reunion and tell everyone hi for me. I am doing great with the food I am not gaining just maintaining so that is a plus. I made a goal and went a whole week with no sugar so that helped but then I got my box and that went down the drain. :) but is was good to get thank you so much and I got my card as well. I have to just say that I have the BEST FAMILY in the world.
*
Uncle Dan and Aunt Janice left this morning at 5:00 They came and said goodbye to me it was good to have them here and I am going to miss them a lot I saw them so much when they entered more then before. But they are on to better work. They will be great.
*
Becky I got my package thank you so much for the straighter holder. It is so cute. You are so thoughtful I loved it. Oh I need your new address so that I can write you when you get to WV so let me know what it is. also can you send me your e-mail as well I want to send you e-mails but I don't have your e-mail. You are the best also.....What color of marking lead do you want for your scripture marking pencil because we have them and I want to get you some but I don't know what colors. Also they are cheap here so let me know. Oh and Hello Stewart and thanks to you too.
*
I am getting a cold again because some of the elders in the district got it and we are always together so it was my turn. I am trying to get better but I might need some more Airborne. So when you come with Margie bring Airborne, q-tips, popcorn, oh and my two CD's "called to serve" (Mormon Tab) and "Every breath" (Jenny Phillips) didn't burn right so I need a new copy of them. But if you don't get those burned then don't worry. I think that is all that I need. Thank you so much for everything. I have one more favorMargie if you could use your new Facebook skills and get on my Facebook find Mindy Gneiting and write her and ask her what time she comes in on Wednesday and then Dear Elder me before Wednesday so that I can be looking for her at that time. Or you could just get my phone and her number is in there and call her and ask her then Dear Elder me that might be faster. Either one I just want to know what time she comes in so that I can look for her on Wednesday July 15th. I guess if it doesn’t happen then I will just look for her anyway. Thanks!
*
Katie I hope you are doing well and that Rupert is doing good and getting better. Dads know that I love you as well. I love you all so much have a good week, Margie I will see you on Friday good luck with all your decisions I know you will make the right ones and I will talk to you more on Friday. Mom I love you thanks for everything. Grandma Have a happy B-day on Friday know that I am thinking of you tons, be looking for a card it is coming. I think it is Uncle Harold’s B-day too so Happy B-day to you too Uncle Harold love ya. (I hope I have the right day if not then happy early b-day)I hope you all have a great week and know that I am thinking of you… Smile and be happy

Dear Family,
*
It is Friday morning July 3rd and you are all off to the Hegerhorst reunion. How fun tell everyone hi for me and let me know how it goes. My week was good. I can't believe I have already been here for 3 weeks the time has really gone by fast. A little too fast there is so much I still need to learn and i don't know if I have learned even a 3rd of it. But no worries I am learning so that is a plus. :) I guess I will just start off and let you know what has been happening. Since you are always asking me......Mom I saw a General Authority!!!!!! Actually I saw 7 of them. Jeffery R. Holland spoke to us at devotional when the mission presidents were here. It was amazing. Also Oaks, Christofferson, Cook, Perry, Bednar, and Anderson were all there too. So I saw 7 General Authorities. They said that we would probably be the only group that would get an experience to have all of the General Authorities in the MTC at one time because they were all here at some point. Cool huh!!! So anyway that was a GREAT experience.
*
Mom I have no clue where you put the instructions to your ball. Last I knew it was in Becky's room. So if it is not there then you must have put it in a safe spot and just can't remember where :) Sorry. I am happy that you are feeling better and that you are doing well. I am sorry to hear that you and Margie are sore from strawberries but I am sore too. I did some work out and found muscles that I didn't know I had also my bed makes my back hurt every time I wake up but oh well I will live with it. No big deal.Dad I hope you are doing well I miss you tons and thank you for you letters and little notes. I hope you know how much I love you. Keep the letters coming I hope you are surviving with out me. :) just kidden I know you are. Oh tell George and Angel and Jesus I say hello.
*
Katie I am happy to hear that you are staying busy with swathing and that Margie is helping you. I miss being able to go out and help in the fields. But I am onto a much better work. I hope I am not getting to personal with you :) hahaha every time I read a letter from you and you say that it makes me laugh. How is my little friend Rupert doing is he missing me tons yet. Tell him not to worry and that I will be home in about 17 months. Ha ha ha Make sure you are taking good care of Rudy and that you tell him I miss him.Becky and Stewart- I hope you had a fun time on the farm for your last time for a while. I hope all goes well with the move. Know that i love you tons and am praying that all works out ok for both of you. Good luck with everything and be brave. Oh and make sure you write me with your new address. I love you tons and tons have fun and remember when i get out there we are only about 3 hours apart. Becky I hope you get better I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling good.
*
Margie guess who I saw the other day. Yep Uncle Dan and Aunt Janice. Ha ha ha I see them every once in a while probably just as much as I did before. They always know where to find me because I eat in the same spot every time and they just come and say hi and then they have to go. But it is good to see them :) Anyway that is not who I was going to say. Ok so here is the story. Uncle Dan and Aunt Janice came and said hey do you remember a Sister Owen from Margie's letters. I said yes and they said she was her companion for 3 months and she is our teacher. :) She saw our names and then we told her you were here and she wants to meet you so I said ok. So they found here and I met her. I was walking up to here and she says "oh my gosh she looks just like her." Ha ha ha we haven't heard that one before have we :). She was really nice it was good to put a face with a name that you talked about so much. She knew that you were going to come see me so she said to call her before you come and then maybe you two could do something together. So I am relaying the message to you. Get a hold of her and then when you come to see me you can see her too. So about you coming to see me. I talk to my President and got the details. You can come any day that works but you have to be in Sunday dress and only you can come in to see me (we already new that) You can only stay for about 45 min and they will just put us in a little room and we will get to visit. You just have to come to the front desk and ask for me. If they don't know what you are talking about ask to speak to President Thomas or President Craig and explain it to them. Then they will page me and I will come. Friday the 17 will work great. I have the temple in the morning but am back at around 10. So you can come from 10:30-11:30 or 12:45-3 is laundry time and that works as well. So really anytime after 10:30 and before 4. so just let me know what you decide. Really anytime you come I will come see you. I will just have to get out of class. But the 17th sounds great. I am excited to see you and can't wait.
*
Tomorrow it the 4th so happy 4th of July!!!!!!! It is just a normal study day for us except at around 7:30pm we are having a program and then they are letting us go out and watch the fire works that go off. That should be fun. I am excited. They said we could stay up as late as we wanted but we still have to be up at 6:30 the next morning so I probably wont stay up that long. :) I got a letter from Arica and she gets to march in the parade. Fun!!!! I am a little jealous.
*
That is all the news that I can think of that has happened. Things are going well and my district is well. Oh and can I just tell you all that I have dominated at Bump (basketball) I play with all the elders and we do 3 point shots and I have won my fair share of games, and got many elders out. Thank-you Thank-you. It is funny it will be a long line of all the Elders and then Me. and some of them will say you go in front of me I don't want to get out. Pretty much some of the baskets i make are lucky but I hold my ground and it is really fun. :) I just had to add that in. So I guess that this letter has gone on long enough. I just want to let you all know that I do read all your letters and that if I don't answer questions it is not because I didn't read them it is just because I forgot or I ran out of time to write it. So forgive me. But I love mail. It really is one of my best friends here. So keep the mail coming. We have an elder in my district who lives here in Utah and he has gotten a package or two everyday from either his girlfriend or his mother. Talk about a lot of postage. I am not saying I want a package a day I am happy with what I am getting I just didn't know how much mail some elders get.I thank the people to invented Dear Elder I just love that I can get mail the same day that you write it. I love it. Oh mom I have not met anyone else going to my mission but I am sure someone has to be here that is. So maybe one day I will but if not then hey I will fly out there by myself. I will have to wait and see.
*
OK so I need one thing if you could mail me my address for my mission. I need to give it to someone but I don't have it so if you could write and tell me what it is that would be WONDERFUL I thank you so much for your help. I love you all so very much thanks for everything.Oh Margie are you checking my e-mails for me just wanted to know. If I get any letters that you think I might want (like from Alli or others) you can send them to me.
*
I love you all so much Have a happy 4th and be happy, I will try and write you a letter later today because I know you like mail just as I do.Grandma thanks for the letter it was wonderful to hear from you. I miss and love you tons.Have a great week and I shall write later.
*
Mom the books I was asking for don't worry I will just buy a pack that they have here they are small and it has all the ones I want to don't worry about it any more ok. Also the jeans are dark but if you send me the lighter ones that is ok either one works.
*
Put a smile on your face.



P.S. you probably don't miss this but my companion laughs at me because she will say a sentence and I always will burst out in song with the word she ends with. I just have a lot of music in my head and so I just sing it. Ha ha ha I try not to annoy her but as you know I did that at home as well. she just laughs at me anyway we had to introduce our companions to a new teacher and say something fun about them and so she said "she has a song for everything and will just burst out into song after you finish a sentence." funny funny stuff. Ok love you all and have a great week. Tell me how the reunion goes and when you are coming to see me.
