Golly this has been a wonderful week! I don't even know why
exactly it is! Although certain things have helped. I have received numerous
letters and I'll try to write back to you as soon as possible! Something I have
just found out is that mail from the US to Canada is really rather ridiculous.
It can take up to two months to receive mail, however the mail from Canada to
the US is really rather quick. So by next week send me emails and I will
probably respond via letters.
I received the wonderful care package last week!! Thank you
Putnam family! The box was filled with every kind of diabetes that I love! Even
some that I didn't know I loved!! I'll be sure to share with my lovely
companions! Sorry I don't have many pictures of them, the MTC computers are not
a friend to my camera. Good thing this is my last time using them!!!
I GOT MY TRAVEL PLANS!!!! Phew glad I got that out. I've
been holding in that excitement for two whole paragraphs! I'll be waking up in
time to run to the MTC travel office at 3:30, be on my way to the Salt Lake
City Airport by 4 hopefully. Then catching a DELTA flight that takes off at
7:45 flying to Detroit, So if anyone wants to let me borrow their phone so that
I could call my family at 5:30 in the morning Utah time that would be pretty
fantastic. If not I'll just get a call card from the MTC Bookstore here.
Anyways I fly Salt Lake to Detroit then am met with a 30 minute "lay
over" which will be more accurately described as "quick sprint to the
finish." Then from Detroit to MONTREAL!!!!!!! By next Wednesday I will be
assigned an area and a trainer where I will either be speaking French or
English, depending on the area. It looks like it is going to be a long flight,
but the more I think of it I'm pretty sure it is the last time I get to nap all
day for an entire seventeen more months. In other words I'm pretty excited...if
you can't tell.
Something we were just informed is... 1. Our mission is only
a vehicle mission and holds the most revenue in vehicles out of any other
mission. This is because not only is it absolutely freezing and snowy for ten
to eleven months out of a year but it is also one of the largest missions. My
mission literally has the north pole in its boundaries. Granted I'll be mainly
in the South as only Elders serve with the Eskimos. Which is a bummer because I
was really banking on converting a polar bear. But hey I'll still get up to
eight feet of snow at times, no matter where I go. 2. My mission will be one of
the many missions switching to digital. In other words I'M GETTING AN IPAD!
That I will get to keep after my 18 months of service! Go Canada!!
I have gotten to see SOOO MANYY people here at the MTC this
week! I run into one of my best friends from the Hill Camorah Pageant, Elder
Steiner, every meal time! I get to see Sister Tori Boucher pretty much daily!
And Elder Justin Iund is going to Vanuatu, French Speaking! It was quite a
suprise to go and grab a drink of water on the floor all French speakers are on
and see a familiar face! We are not in the same zone, but hey! A friend from
home is always fun to see!
I'm going to keep this email short this week but not because
I don't not love you guys. I thank you so much for the support I have had these
past six weeks. It may be a while till I email again because my P-day (day I
get to write emails and letters) will switch to Mondays once I am in the field.
I love you all! A la Prochain!
