TG from the MTC

Sorry this is coming a little late. The internet was down yesterday. We heard from Elder Holland today. He is such a powerful speaker. He talked about a lot of things and not wanting to be home cuz this is the best experiene we could ever ask for. It was legit. We leave Tuesday. We fly out of SLC at 9:45 am and get to Atlanta at 3:25. I will probably call you guys in Atlanta so it will be about 12:30 for you guys when I call. The plane leaves Atlanta at 5:30 and we get to Panama City at 9:30. I understand not getting anything on Christmas. Ok I gotta go. I love you guys. Have a great Thanksgiving. We are doing a huge service activity today and our district is part of the surpervising crew. It will be chaotic but fun. I love you guys. Next email will be from PANAMA!!

Week 6 at the MTC - live from the Laundry Room

Hola everyone,

Things here are good. Our streak of apostles at devos has ended. We heard from Elder pearson from the 70. He was really good. The weather here is weird. It's been raining a lot but hasn't snowed yet. I want it to snow so I can break out my boots. I probably will anyways even if it doesnt. Dad, you guys actually painted my room? I didn't think that was actually going to happen. It's going to look so wierd when i get back. Thats nice that you had Sis Gayda and Sis Lott over for dinner. That lasagna sure sounds good right now. That's cool about the special on panama that you guys watched. Yes, the temple looks legit. It's in the middle of the jungle and stands out very much. You and mom should visit. Maybe you can pick me up? I know the other elders from Panama are talking about their parents picking them up too so that would be fun. Some of us in the district are thinking of sneaking out on saturday to watch harry potter jk jk. It sounds like its going to be awesome though. At least I can just watch them back to back when I get back. Wow, I can't believe that we are going to be outta here in two weeks. We should get our travel plans on saturday so we are stoked for that. I got some mail this week so things have been good. We are teaching lesson 2 in spanish on friday so we are preparing for that. I think that we will do well. Well I gotta run, my laundry is almost done. I love you all!

From the MTC laundry room,

11-09-10 Update - week 6 at the MTC

I am doing fine, my favorite mom. I am feeling way better. I kicked that sickness out the door. We heard from Elder Bednar last night. I really liked this last one. Elder Bednar is very direct and to the point. HE talked about distinguishing between doctrines, principles, and applications. I'm sorry I cant send the pics home by email, but thats just how it is here. I'll only have to wait another three weeks and then you will get pictures galore. I've taken some good ones at the temple and such. Just tell Jenner that its not worth is to wait until the end to get the merit badges and Eagle project done. Dad, you need to crack down on him like you did me, but do it know. Chad left today and i got some pics with him by the big map of us pointing to B-town on the map. He will probably have his on his blog soon so you can probably find them there. Like i said everyting is great here. Temple today. We might do some sealings so that will be cool cuz ive never seen those. The weather here is bi polar. It is snowing but it isnt enough to stick so there is no snow on the ground, but its freezing. Ya me and chad met by the map on Sunday and we got some pics, I'll have to send you them. I saw him again yesterday too. It was good to talk to him one last time. It's going to be 23 months till we meet again in good ole B-town. If you are interested, there is a public blog called something like, "Moms of Central America". It's a bunch of moms of elders going to central america on their missions. My comps mom is part of it and so are two other elders moms. So if you are interested you can check it out. We did well in our first spanish TRC on Friday. The volunteer we taught was from Moses Lake so that was cool. Well I gotta go. I love all you guys and i would really love letters before i leave here cuz they will take forever to get to panama. Bye bye
I love you.

11-3-10 - Week 4 at the MTC

Hola everyone,

The weather here has been beautiful. It has been sunny and not cold at all. I can not believe that jenner is a priest already. We heard from Elder Ballard last night. Thats 3 apostles in three weeks. We must really need to hear from them. Thats awesome that Trevor got his call. That's funny that he is going there and the Lotts have Douglas from brazil. Me and another elder have decided to try and audition to perform a piano and vocal song at one of the firesides. The song is "O my Father" but its to the tune of "Come thou Fount". I need to work on the song a bit, but it will be good. Well I gotta finish this up. Dad, if you could send me the address of the Rickords, and some other people of the ward so i could write them that would be nice. I sent some pics home the old way so you can put them on the ward bulletin thing. I love you guys!
