THANK YOU FOR THE PACKAGE!

Hey Mods, Dad and Fam!

THANK YOU FOR THE PACKAGE! It was filled with all of my most favorite things! :) An you have no idea how bad I needed that watch, so I thank you all!

Send just normal everyday pictures. You don't need to complicate it Mom. Just send normal pictures.

But ya, I hung up the other ones you sent and they were good. Just send those kind. I gotta write this one way fast so sorry about the bad handwriting.

But, don't way that the bookmark isn't much, because it's everything. Tara's sorta grown to be a big inspiration to me and that bookmark keeps me going.

I went to the temple for the first time today. I gotta say that I like the movie version better. The session was way huge cuz of all the missionaries.

How can you put one of these :o) after saying it's quieter? Too mean! J/K Kyle, keep pumping the bass. Shake the walls.

I'm super sad that I had to miss Ben's farewell, but at least I'll get to see him in a few more days. :) I'm glad to hear he referred to me, cuz I tried to make a good friend. I'm way glad that Jonathan spoke about me. That's way tight! I just cried though. No big deal.

My p-day is on Friday. I can write and receive letters any day though, cuz they have a time every night set-up for it, so write away.

My first Sunday was good.

I'm writing in my journal.

If you could send me like . . . 3 more sweet shirts that would be good. Turns out I need more than I thought. Also, any candy/junk food coming my way = :) I've already gained 7 pounds so help me gain more!

And yes, I'll definitely leave tons of stuff and sell it here. I've gotten so much free stuff from missionaries leaving the MTC, cuz they can't have their bags weigh too much so they just give a lot of stuff away.

Here is a typical day in the MTC:
6:30 a.m. - Wake up
7:00 a.m. - Eat
7:30 a.m. - Classroom
1:00 p.m. - Eat
1:30 p.m. - Class
6:00 p.m. - Eat
6:30 p.m. - Class
9:00 p.m. - Plan
10:00 p.m. - Brush teeth/shower
10:30 p.m. - Sleep

Throw in a few firesides every now and then. And weird little meetings. But, also add in gym. We do that every morning for an hour.

Things are going great. I've had some times where it's been crazy hard and I miss people, but there's little things that make it better right away. Like letters and packages. And temple, teaching people and prayer.

I eat tons. The refuse to let me stay skinny and I love it!

It sucks that I can't even flirt with the ladies. (ha!) I try to avoid them all together just cuz I don't wanna end up like those people that met at the MTC and get married. Too awkward. Except there's one Sister that keeps finding me. So, I'm kinda scared, but she's a good person. Sue's super hot but I don't think I'm allowed to tell her. :) But, I promise I won't be a lame "what's a girl?" after my mission missionary. I'll be normal and in no need for "missionary goggles". However, I'll admit the first time we got to leave the MTC to go to the temple, girls along the way all seemed to look pretty good. :)

I love this work! Write lots!

Love you all!
