Crazy general conference
announcement, huh? You said you would send me an article about the interview
with Elder Holland, that would be cool because we do not hear anything! around
here. :) haha. I wrote you about conference a little already and it should be
coming in the mail. Just know that I did think of you all lots. Definitely with
the bees and during called to serve. We laugh around here because we sing that
song almost every time we gather for a meeting but I still love the song and
definitely hear my family in my head. I
miss hearing all 4 parts! :) Along those
same lines it was so weird to sing with Sisters only during the Relief Society
broadcast after 7 weeks of being surrounded and drowned out (in a good way) by
Elders. haha.
I think a semester for Jacob might
be great but we will see what he decides and see if the spirit has something to
say about it. :) There are a lot of Elders and Sisters here who may be out with
siblings now. Just think we could possibly have 3 from our family at once! ah!
So exciting. Glad that Jake had a good time at homecoming.
Nathan-- Good luck with German and
bringing up your grade. I was failing a class in 8th grade when interims came
out too! BUT through extra work I was able to bring my grade up. Think about
how cool it would be if you brought yours up. You could brag and say you
changed your grade from an F to a B ... or even an A! I know you can do it!!
Let me know how it goes. Don't worry about writing me but it would be nice to
hear from you sometime.... :)
Go Mom for volunteering to help with
Odessey of the mind!! You go girl! :) I'm sure Tyler REALLY appreciates it. He
loves when you help out with his stuff.
Tyler-- ET sounds like the best
costume idea ever! Just remember you wont look exactly like him. I'm thinking
you should carry a little flashlight so you can pretend that your finger lights
up! :) (MOM-- brown sheet and face paint? Good luck! Just make sure the top of
his head is big and flat! :) haha)
Thanks for the picture of Josh! Now
I just need some of the rest of you. Maybe a picture of Jacob ready for
homecoming, or soccer or flag football or something. Its just fun to see. Maybe
I can send you another one soon.
Sounds like a cool Filipino store
you went to. We might have to go after I get back when I’m longing for the
Philippines. :P But as for packages... not only do you have to pay to send them
but I have to pay to receive them....so keeping those super limited is a good
idea. :)
As for here.... things are going
well. Conference was a blast! So fun and uplifting. Then after conference
Sunday night we had a fireside by Chad Lewis (thank you mom and true or untrue
stories about wearing his jersey for halloween b/c that’s the only way I know
who he his) It was a really good fireside that made everybody laugh and feel
uplifted. The way he taught kind of reminded me of dad so that was nice. The
count down has begun... 20 days left of the MTC. (days sound long but less than
3 weeks!! Eek!!) I am getting really excited. Monday I felt like I was done
with being at the MTC, but then I got really nervous because I still hardly
know anything and I don't want to go not be able to understand anything for
weeks. Oh well. Good that I have both emotions cause now I can be nervous and
excited and just let it motivate me to study harder, pray harder and appreciate
the time I have left.
Something I will not miss is the
static here!! ugh! It is OOC. I also will not miss the cold... okay, lets be
honest, I wont miss being cold for the first 3 or 4 days and then I will
probably be sick of sweating. :) haha. But we are looking forward to the heat
as the cold October weather rolls in. I love you all! Miss you!
