hi mom its been a crazy week and i never get time to email while waiting on the laundry cux its just too packed in there... and that starts at 1:30 and im writing this right now.... well we got our flight plans for next wednesday we leave the mtc at 5 in the morning and our plane leaves for MEMPHIS at 8:35 and we sit there for an hour or so and the get on a plane to go to Des moines. and so we aren't going to get to iowa until about 4:35... i have no idea why we are going to memphis but i love being on airplanes and I better get a freaking window seat.... there are 6 of us leaving on the same plane, 2 from another district that i realized are going to iowa too. and my companion Elder Virgen is leaving just him and another missionary to go to minnianapolis (yea i spelled it wrong) and then to iowa. so we're all excited for that.... the arkansas guys are leaving at 4in the morning and go to atlanta for a couple hours before going to arkansas so its all jacked up like that.
not going to lie i was pretty upset when i found our from the security guards that utah lost but also way happy to know that byu got beat to and im going to rip my hair out when i hear the game on saturday.... so i got here with 7 ties and through some good barganing have been able to get that to 9 ... ya everyone here trades ties every night and it gets kinda crazy when there are 30 elders in an area trying to get good deals. so thats fun ... the only thing that im really worried about is that my bag is going to be to heavy and that ill have to gey rid of a bunch of stuff and the airport... so expect a call from me next wednesday at about 7 in the morning maybe later i guess and send me jareds number and ill call him... and dads and make sure that he has it on and he can hear it... the mtc is great and right when im starting to get used to things here im already leaving..... i have alot of respect for some of the guys here and stay and rot for 9-12 weeks... ummm ive put on 5 pounds since i've been here and that might have gone down cuz iv'e been sick the last couple of days with a sore throat and runny nose and a mild headache every once in awile.
the district is doing good but i think that some of the guys are losing focus because they realized that the investigators that are here are all actors and members just playing the part but elder virgen and i have be keeping the focus and have reallly been doing good with our lessons. on saturday night i think that i received my first revelation... we were in a lesson with tony hale and he was talking about his smoking and drinking problem that he has and we were just telling him that he needed to stop and that he would feel better and while elder virgen was talking with him i just had the biggest impression to give him a blessing and i just blerted it out and asked him if he needed a blessing and the spirit was stronger than i have ever felt it and all three of us in the room were crying cuz our teacher told us that what i felt was true revelation and that he did the exact same thing to tony hale..... so that was a really good part of the past week but not the best...... at our tuesday night devotional elder M. Russell Ballard came and spoke and we were only like 30 feet from him front and center i wish we coulda taken a picture to prove it but it was sweet and i loved it so much
well i can't wait to talk to you on wednesday and i love you all (even Zoe i do miss her)
peace out from this miserable place called provo utah ewwwwww it really needs more red here!!!!
