Hi Family!!! Your week sounded very eventful and fun!! It's sad
that Kynsie is done with elementary school in a couple days!!! She still
seems too small to be in Junior high next year!! Youth Conference
sounded like it was fun!! I'm glad that Brindlee and Dad had a good
time!!
I want to go to the cabin!!! I was thinking about it the other
day and I really want to go camping or to our cabin! But it's okay, I'll
have so many crazy experiences!
I haven't heard anything about my Visa,
or my Travel plans this week! I'll find out soon though if I am going to
get a temporary re-assignment. I hope that doesn't happen, but I know
that if it does, I am suppose to serve in that area for a reason! I am
getting so excited and ready to leave the MTC!! It's so crazy that time
has been going by so fast already!! I am scared to get into the field
but I just want to go and work and see how a mission really is! It's so
exciting! If I get re assigned, I'll be able to call home and let you
know everything that is going on but it will only be for like 5 or 6
minutes! That's still exciting right!?
I don't think I need a pillow,
I'll be fine, I'll be able to buy one there, but maybe send me a pillow
case!
Everything here has been going so good!!
I'm still learning a lot and my Spanish is coming along really well!!
It's so exciting to teach lessons especially when you have found an
answer that will help someone out or that is something that they need in
their life. The role plays feel so real! It's like I'm in a room with
someone totally different than our teachers! I love it here and the
constant spirit we feel! Last Tuesday we heard from L. Tom Perry of the
quorum of the twelve and he had some great things to say!! We also heard
from the Provo Temple president and he shared some AMAZING things about
temple covenants and so many cool things I have never thought of
before!
Um, we are kind of getting sick of the MTC food,
some days nothing here looks good. I'm getting pretty tired of junk food
too. I miss home-cooked-food a ton!!! I'm excited to get into the field
and eat some other food than what we eat here!
I might send my SD card home soon this week. I
don't really have a ton of photos that I've taken but I can still send
it home so they are safe. I don't know if I need any flash drives or
anything. I have no idea what things will be like in the field!
I did see Frank this week!! He was working on
something outside, and I actually recognized his big Chevy truck first
before I saw him! So i walked over and I saw him so I had to say hi!!
That's funny that Brother Mitchell saw me!! he should've yelled my name
or something so I could've said Hello to him! I don't see Kayla as often
now, I hardly ever need to go to the store, so I never get the chance
to see her!
P-day today is great!! We did our Laundry at like 6
this morning so we could get it done early, and all my clothes are doing
fine! I don't have any problems! Then we ate breakfast and fell asleep
for a little while! It was nice haha. We haven't gone to the Temple yet
today but we're doing that at like 2:30 or something. I see Brother Jex
there every week because he is a temple worker on Tuesdays.
I don't really know of anything that I absolutely
need. I'm doing pretty good! I loved getting your letters and package
last Friday, and I got a dear elder from Brenda last week too, I got a
letter from Brayden, Bryckelle, Grandma Hone, Libby, and Jenny Hatch
too!! Getting mail is really probably the most exciting thing here.
Mail, and Walking through a gate and across the street. Awesome
huh?? Tell Trevor that I never got a package from his family? The only
ones I've received were from you! Weird huh? I hope it didn't get lost
or something. Shelbie emailed me and I'm going to email her back right
now.
Sorry I don't really Have much to say!!! I am
just ready to leave the MTC and have some real experience. There are a
lot of way funny things that happen here but I don't know how to write
about them in my email. Let Dalton know I love him. I've been thinking
about him daily. I'm going to write him a letter either today, or
tomorrow. As soon as I get the chance to! My heart is hurting for him
and I wish I could see him!
Well family, I love you!! I might
be sending a package home of stuff I don't need! With my SD card and a
letter maybe. (Its hard to find time to write letters, but i love
getting them!) I am so thankful for you Mom, and Dad. Your letters are
so encouraging and they help me press on! I think of you all daily! Let
Kynsie know I am so thankful for her letters and that Brindlee is a bum
because she told me she was going to draw me a picture every week, and I
only got two. :( I even posted the last one up on my wall by my desk!
Anyway, I love you all!! I miss you!! But look how fast the last seven
weeks have gone by!! I'll be home before we know it. But I love it here.
I want you to know that I have grown so much closer
to our Savior Jesus Christ during my time here. I truly feel his love
for each of us everyday. I know what I am doing is the right thing and
that we have a Loving Father in Heaven who is watching over us at all
times to comfort us and protect us. I know we have a Savior who is
standing by our side with his arm stretched forth just waiting for us to
call to Him for help. He loves each of us. nothing would happen in this
life without reason. We have so many blessings in store for us, all we
have to do is ask. I love this Gospel. I love having the chance to share
it with other families who will be able to feel the same thing I have
felt in our family. It's the one true thing in this life that can bring
us true joy and happiness! The Book of Mormon is so true. It's the one
and only way we can have a testimony of the Truth of Joseph Smith, the
Restoration, and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love you Family. I
am so thankful to Mom, and Dad for bringing this into our family! It has
made us such happier people and we really have our purpose here.
'
I love you!! I'll hopefully hear from you soon and maybe I'll be calling home soon!! Love ya!!
-Talon!
