Week 9

hello everyone,

today is my last email from the states for the next 22 months.  im so excited but nervous. i will talk to some of you tommorw evening i hope.  today im wearing the formal lava lava around the mtc and ppl love it. it so comfy.

umm lets see whats new... i didnt get to go to the temple today cuz its a holiday. so i went to 2 periods of gym and got my hair cut.  last night colton gave me an amazing blessing. it was his first but it was so good. im glad we have had each other here.  oh i almost had to call dad last week to send me ties but then i called mr. mac and got 2 ties from there and also some new shoes cuz i needed another pair.  i made sure to get ones that will last forever...thats right eccos...

i have heard the mail is not that reliable in the flips so a tip i got was to put stickers of crosses on it.  the mail men sometimes go thru the packages and take stuff. but since they are mostly catholics they wont mess with the boxes with crosses on it, usually... oh and if you send something like shoes that are valuable send them one at a time, im not planning on needing shoes though.

 i have stopped thinking about home so much and been doing as much work as i can. thats the way the Lord wants it.  i still pray for you all though.  i know he will take care of you.

tell aaron good job way to rep the streets.  i figured our team could get shirts eventually that say ~~Freeline~~ THATS HOW I ROLL i dunno. somethin like that maybe.

the weather here has been kinda cold. somedays are nice but like today its been hailing. the FOBs (fresh off the boat) go crazy for it cuz they  have never seen it. well im going to go now. i have lots of journals to sign and also i have to  write some ppl before i leave the states. i will prolly write kyle and aaron and brooke. i will talk to you tomrrow night.

i love you all so much. thanks for your support.
