Hola Familia!
Well I will start off by answering your questions from your emails. Sister Taggart is completely well for travel it turns out that all her problems were just a whole lot of not too big of deals. I have only sent one package home thus far, but I will be sending a rather large one on Monday morning. Yes we do have a scale her to weigh our luggage. I just really hope it is accurate, the other day I threw all of my stuff into my suitcases and they weighed 44 and 42 pounds, I just really hope that they stay that way, I am a little worried just because I was so much over on weight when I came.
The four apostles that we have been blessed to hear from are Elders Oaks, Nelson, Scott, and Anderson. It's pretty cool that out of our 8 devotionals we were able to have 4 apostles.
Mom and Dad! I loved, loved, loved the package! It was the happiest package ever. And I loved your little note Mom, it was like a little piece of you, and it made me so happy!
Just as a little hint, if you would like to send me DearElders before I leave they all have to be in by noon on Friday, because DearElders don't print on Saturday and I will be gone before they get here on Monday. So I fully expect many DearElders tomorrow! (Hint, Hint!) Especially from you Hunter! I haven't heard from you at all since I've been here! But I would love to have one from all of my lovely brothers!
So as far as my week, I guess my perfect health couldn't last throughout my whole MTC experience. I cold a pretty severe cold last Thursday night that Then Monday night I had a pretty high fever. And I have been fevering on and off ever since. Oh and I had a hacking cought too as the cold migrated into my chest. I went to the doctor yesterday, she said that my cold is turning into a sinus infection so she gave me a couple perscriptions. I expressed my concern that I didn't want my already pressured ears to blow up on my first plane ride, but she assured me that I should be all better by then. Even after just a day of being on these perscriptions I feel much better!
I want to share a couple of experiences that are connected to my sickness but I think I only have time for one. On Sunday I asked the Elders in my district for a blessing because I was having a really hard time. It was so cool because you could tell that they were nervous because they have never really given blessings by themselves before, but I knew that they said exactly what Heavenly Father wanted to tell me, it was such a cool experience to just see they power that the priesthood can have in worthy holders, even if they are scared and nervous.
So my companions and I got three roommates last night. It is a huge adjustment. 6 Sisters in one room is too many! We are all stepping on top of each other and getting ready in the morning is so hard! And, they are not even Spanish speaking! Its amazing, I didn't think we really spoke that much Spanish in our room, but every time we talk in Spanish the new Sisters get all defensive like we are talking in some secret language. It is quite hard, just because I really love spanish, especially when I know what is going on. But we leave in four days so I guess I just have to put up with it until then.
Since I have been here I have started saying really weird things that I never used to say. It is kind of weird because it makes me feel much more awkward as a person and I don't even realize before I say them. Such phrases include "Let's bust a move", "crimping your style", and other really weird things. I'm a little worried about what I will say after 18 months.
Dad, I can't believe you will be on the mountain during my phone call. I was so excited to be able to talk to my whole family. I really hope you can find service somewhere. I will try to call while in Atlanta. Speaking of which I think the times that I sent our all the local time of wherever I will be.
I had something else I really wanted to say, but I forgot to write it on my little page of notes, so I can't remember. Aaugh! The countdown clock is ticking so I guess I will just have to tell you at a later time.
Oh I remember so my companionship was chosen to demonstrate "how to begin teaching" for the new missionaries that came in. It was a really cool experience and kind of humbling to think that out of all the missionaries in the MTC we were recommended and chosen. It was really cool and we did a great job. My companionship has come a long we and we have really grown together.
Out of time!
Love you all!
