Ok, first about the plaque, I am torn between 2 verses: Alma 29:9 and 3 Nephi 5:13. I'll leave that choice to you. Also, could you send me an sd card replacement so I can send this one to Abby and she can upload them to facebook or send them in an email, but that’s the only way I can get them to you at least until I leave... um about the bike, it should be on a bike rack in between Maeser and Horne halls in Heritage Halls. It's yellow and has a u shaped lock, hope this helps...
I got the package and thanks so much for everything!!! Just send me some pictures to put in the photo album! Sorry about not being able to write last week, there was some problem with my account but it's fixed now and everything is swell. =]
A couple requests: some family history, preferably stories that I can share with investigators. I would like my line of authority for the melchisedec (i only know how to spell that in italian now...) priesthood and some moleskin journals, like a 9X6ish size but just a couple, and if you can't it's not a huge deal but it would be nice.
Another note, the small one liner dear elders are nice. If you don't want to write a novel just log on and say hi (and this goes for anyone!) =] But I might not respond to it because my computer time is so limited but it is so great to hear from everyone.
I found out that Fratello Lameroux was in Heidleberg and he was actually President Allreds home teacher! Pretty cool eh?!
(sorry about the poor spelling/punctuation/capitalization. I'm going for quantity here! haha)
That is soooo great to hear about Roz!!! Not only about her eye but also about her being baptized!!!!!! I'm so happy for her! =D It's so fun to hear about the family reunion and everyone that was there, how awesome! (che forte!) I wish I could've been there for Josh's homecoming, I always loved to read his letters. And tell Diana I am happy for her, that's so great, and to get married on boxing day! How special! =P jk (in Italian there is zero sarcasm so I need to get a little out some how.)
You should tell Elder Bednar when he comes to come to the MTC (before Sept 19th)!!!! We have yet to have an apostle come visit us. =[ But speaking about apostles, we watched a video from Elder L. Tom Perry about Italy and he was saying that the missionaries going to Italy now are going to be the best missionaries that Italy has ever seen. When you couple that with how well we are being prepared with the new MTC program and how ready the Italians are to hear and accept the gospel, really we're the luckiest missionaries in the world. =]
Oh, and speaking of the changes the MTC has made, I got to see Jourdan Hafen (a sister missionary we knew in Sicily) in the TRC (as you all know) but it was so awesome to be able to see her! She almost didn’t come, multiple times, but what a blessing that she did!
The MTC has officially lost all its charm and I am so ready to go to Italy!! It's not bad, but the food however is. Ugh! I'm sooo tired of hard boiled eggs, salads and wraps. Everything else they serve is just bad news...
However (pero), I love getting to study for hours each day, I think I have finally learned how to study after 19 years, haha! I was able to give a talk in church last Sunday and it went really well! However, I was told it was too long (13 minutes!!) and I should really cut it down. haha addiritura! (unbelieveable)
So being a zone leader above all it's awesome! It's hard to accept the fact that we have to sacrifice study time to do ZL stuff but it's so nice. The past 2 weeks we've gotten new Portugesse (again, not sure how to spell in English...) missionaries. Our branch went from 11 to 51!! Next week we get the new Italians!!!! There's only gonin to be 10 of them but it's so exciting! We were called as ZL’s when the old districts left and we're ZL's until we leave.
How are Maren and Sara liking soccer or has it not started yet? Thats great to hear that Mattie loved volleyball, you should get her to start working on it now and maybe she can play for BYU?!! Maren, how exciting that, you’re going be in the 3rd grade! Who is you’re teacher going to be?! Also, let me know how those teeth work out for ya. Thats great you have all kinds of room now to play, I heard you were all settled in 5 hours after you were home from the airport! Crazy!
Abby! Thats so funny about grandma Pinder!!! Grandma Batty said she had a really good time with you. I wish I could have been there to see Josh, but there's time for that in 2 years. Oh and about the krispy kremes... you know you can have them delivered to the MTC right?!! ;) Oh and let me know if you got that letter... Brynn gave me an address and it looked like Wyview so I sent one there... hopefully it worked. Also, I'm going to send you my sd card and if you could take the pictures off and send it back it'd be wonderful. If you could send them to mom/dad or put them on facebook so they can get them or something like that that would be wonderful. Thanks so much for the letter! I love you hope you have a wonderful first couple days of college!!!
Thanks everyone for all the letters, it's wonderful to hear from you all. But if you could remember to keep your addresses up to date that would be ideal. =P Dad, the ward letter is on it's way. =] Hope I didn’t forget anything!!
