I am writing you all personal letters back but it might take some time because we don't have too much for writing especially when I am writing you all, ha ha but keep the letters coming, I love getting them!
As for the pictures of our room I had to take the top one (bunk) because I was the last one here but now I am on the bottom and the other Elder likes it so he might just stay up there.
I'm sorry I haven't had much time to write this week hopefully I'll get it done today!
Tell Emily good job on her backstroke! Also good job on her freestyle and if she would have gone barracuda style she would have broke the time but it's a good thing she didn't so she wouldn't hurt her other styles! that is awesome that there were a lot of people there to support the Barlow's, I wish I could have been there to see it!
Don't worry about me being cold it isn't bad, we aren't outside much and with my jacket its plenty warm! The story about Foster's extra styles was great! Ha ha.
We've been told that here at the MTC there are around 3000 missionaries (with a capacity around that) and this next Wednesday there will be 1000 more coming in! There are a lot of moving trucks full of bunk beds that are around, we are just wondering where the beds will go! We have also heard that they might take some of the BYU's dorms for the MTC and they are opening a new MTC in Mexico that can hold 2100 missionaries really soon.
Grandma said you guys had the luau dinner and I'm jealous, it sounds delicious! Also I'm leaking the info that if she were to send cookies tang would hit the spot!
Thanks for the package you sent it was great! It was fun to get that and I liked the card it was awesome!
It is awesome that you are getting to know some peoples families that are going to my mission it sounds cool! There might also be some people by the name of Sasser because there is a Hermana in my district who is also going to Resistencia.
I'm really glad to hear that Sister Heyman is doing better and they are going back to the mission! They sound like awesome mission presidents and I would hate to not get them as my mission president.
I don't remember if I told you guys this story so I'll tell it now, ha ha. So when we met Hermano wood he told us about how he was engaged and so all the Hermanas demanded he tell the story. He told us how he went to Texas for his mission, Spanish speaking. When he left a member told him they wanted to set him up with their cousin who lives in Honduras! So he bought an international calling card and tried to call her when he got home. He wasn't able to get a hold of her so he forgot about it for a few months. Then his member family called him and said their cousin wants to talk to him. So he got another calling card and tried again. This time it worked and they started calling each other often. Then since it was expensive to buy the international calling cards they decided to set up skype to talk. While they were in the process of getting their skype set up Hermano Wood asked if she would marry him over a text! They had only talked on the phone and facebook at this point. She said yes! They had never been to each others country or seen each other in person. Then when they had skype set up he proposed to her a second time over skype video. He then went down to visit her and her family for the first time this last December. There he proposed to her for a third time in person. Also apparently they started a restaurant down there as well, ha ha. So that was his story! Crazy, huh?
So I know of someone who is going to Argentina that is here and they have been here TWENTY THREE weeks! Luckily I have received amazing news that I (along with the others in my district going to Argentina) will be meeting with the Argentine Consul and Visa Reps for Argentina next week! Hopefully that means that I will head out on my expected date which is February 25th if I hadn't said so yet! Also I don't remember if I said my return date but it is December 30, 2014.
The Famous MTC Map
I really want to get out in the field and start teaching, days at the MTC feel like weeks but weeks feel like days.I love you guys very much! I miss you all the time! Hopefully I'll be able to finish my individual letters to you guys during this week! love Elder Pickle.
