¡Hola!
We just got back from the temple, ate lunch, and now we're emailing. They havent told us anything about being able to call home from the airport, but I do get to email Sunday night before I leave Monday. The temple today was alot easier than last time. I could understand a lot more and it was tons easier, but they still show the old movie here and everyone wants to see the new one. Elder Banks and I did those names you sent with Alec, and I'll send them back when I get to California. It took me like 20 minutes talking to the desk trying to get the name cards back. They were trying to keep them.
Ugh! There are so many dove here just chilling on the lawns at the MTC, and I just want to kill one, so I can cook it and eat it. Maddie´s boots are lookin a little big for her. (haha.) [I'm sure this is in response to pictures Mont sent of dove hunting with Maddie and Marshall.]
We all can't wait to get out of the MTC and get into the field. The last week just drags, and you dont really learn anything new. Everyone is ready to go, but yesterday all the hermanas in our district just started bawling, because they don't think they're ready, so we didn't even have class, just so they could all cry and get their feelings out. I don't know why, because Elder Mecham, Elder Banks, and I are all stoked to go to work for real.
Oh yeah, thanks for the package you sent with Alec. I got it on Wednesday night. The umbrella was muchly needed. When I get to California, I'm going to have to get some new running shoes... mine are completely shredded from playing soccer.
I got a haircut last week from a Mexican lady. They dont mess around.
Elder Mecham has been teaching me a thing or two about basketball, as well. It's funny, because we come here and it seems like all the kids from Utah are by far the best athletes. We school everyone in basically every sport. No se, pero esta bien.
I've scored some pretty sweet ties in the tie trades we have with other districts.
I don't sleep really at all, but its all good.
I will send an email Sunday night, i guess, and then the next time you hear from me I will be in California! First thing that Elder Banks and I are going to do is hit an In-n-Out Burger.
