Met Ambassador from Kenya (e-mail)

Hey!

I don't really know who reads this, but its gonna be to all of everyone.

So, I know you're all dying to know what happened with the ambassador right? Well, I'll tell you at the end of the letter :) Today is super fun cuz its p-day and I get to just power chill all day. After a sweet sealing session at our very own Provo Temple, I'm so excited for the day that I'll get to go back to the Manti Temple. It's gonna be good.

The MTC is transforming me so much! I only sing hymns even in my head, I don't ever call a group of dudes "guys" or "dudes", I say "Elders", I'm almost done reading the BoM, just tons of stuff I didn't think could happen to me. I guess the nickname for the MTC "Make The Change" isn't too far off.

I still love walking to the temple cuz thats as close to the real world as I can get. It's gonna be nice in Portugal not being surrounded by missionaries. I'll get to listen to music and do stuff besides sit in a classroom all day. But, I will tell you I haven't lost all sense of my music abilities... I'm singing in the MTC choir and its cool. I also sing to help me remember the language stuff. I make raps about Portuguese and it has helped me more than anything. Sound like something I'd do? Ha I'm awesome!

So, I'm still getting fat... I've gained 11 pounds. I'm still eating too! Prepare to really call me your "big" brother everyone!

K I guess I'll tell you about her visit now. Iwas sitting in my classroom just like any other day and they knocked on the door and told everyone to stand up. They opened the door and I could see her (bodyguards at the sides) and they were explaining to her some stuff. Then she walked in and I introduced myself to her and she was super excited to meet me. She had quesstions like why everyone is called Elder and why I'd leave everything behind to not get paid and stuff. She told me she wished I was going to Kenya after our talk. It was super intense and awesome! She had an assistant with her named Kevin. He had a lot of questions too and I answered them all.
There's a lot more info and stuff said and exciting stuff said, but the timer is running out for this email. So thanks mucho tons tons tons tons tons for the package! But I love you guys and there's more pictures and a letter I'll send tonight so you might get them on Monday or something. If you have any other questions I'd love to answer them. Days are flying by!

Love you!

Elder Anderson
