Hey!
So I literally just dropped off an eight page written letter at Chenney's
with all the goods! Hopefully it'll help me not rush during this email time
and enjoy reading about all the stories! I won't have much to say on this email
because almost everything will be on that other letter.
Thanks for the pizza gifts! Another elder got one from his family, but it
was only one. I think I'm going to spread them apart and use one for next week
and the other for another week.
I talked a little about this in the letter, but I loved conference! I
actually took notes the whole time haha. We had the two Saturday sessions on
Saturday and then we did Priesthood and the two Sunday sessions on Sunday. Six
hours of sitting on a hard chair watching conference is A LOT, but it was
definitely worth it. By far my favorite was Elder Holland's talk. When he
started to get really serious after asking Peter, "Do you love me?" ... that
part right there got to me.
I went to the temple today and it was great as usual. The confusing parts
are starting to make more sense. Almost all of the workers there speak VERY
little english and so when you're talking to them, half the time you have no
idea what they're saying haha.
I'll do my best to send you some pictures. I was told the best way to do
that is to get them developed for super cheap and then send them through
MissionTies. But today they didn't have any picture paper left so I'll try to do
it next week. If it doesn't work, I'll try to find an internet cafe.
About two nights ago, one elder started throwing up really bad late at
night and so we thought something was starting to go around, but it ended up
just being him, so it was probably some food poisoning. Still a little
scary.
My companion is from Oregon. I'll try to get an email from him some other
time.
Other than what I've talked about and the stuff that's in the letter,
nothing too exciting has happened. Oh... I love all the spiritual stuff, but I
definitely get a lot of that here so I'd love to hear about more stories and how
everyone is doing is that's okay! I'm still hangin in there and language is
coming... maybe a little slower than I would like, but it's definitely coming!
:)
Love you guys so much!!! Stay sweet ;)
