Well this week has been a good/bad/fun/boring week. It snowed some more and the roads were all icy so we were parked for part of the week. So our activities were limited but I got quite a lot of good time for studies. We got out transfer calls Saturday night and Elder Flatt and I are staying together here in Stead. The only person who is changing in our apartment is Elder Simmons and he is being replaced by a newer greenie. I was really thinking I was going and I wanted a change of scenery, but now that I know I am staying I am really glad and grateful.

So this week was a pretty exciting week! Hopefully I can remember everything to tell you. I guess I will start with the events that have transpired over the last day...IT SNOWED A TON!!! There is more than a foot of snow outside, I'm not exaggereating. We dropped a ruler in the snow and it dissappeared. Its not even done snowing yet, it is still supposed to snow for a few more hours. So we can't go anywhere for P-Day and we will proabably be stuck in the house tomorrow too. They are really tight about letting missionaries drive in the snow.

I sure that your thanksgiving dinner was better than ours! haha. Well a certain family had signed up to feed us thanksgiving like a month ago. Well it turns out they didn't do some very good math because the mom had a baby the night before thanksgiving! So we weren't really sure if we should still go but they had a bunch of family in town and they cooked and everything but it was still pretty chaotic!, but a good as well

Hey! So I got your package! Thanks you soooo much. I am still eating the cookies and my backpack is in the car with all my P-Day clothes. A lot better than the plastic bag I had to use last week. haha. And the other Elders thank you too. I shared some of the candy. Yeah, Charity, ya know just one of those many qualities a great missionary has :) haha jkjk.

Its so weird that P-Day is here again already. Time is going pretty quickly, and because the last one was on wednesday, haha. Anyway.

Yeah the temple was pretty cool, very tiny. Probably the same size as the Raleigh, NC one, but it was still pretty cool. There were too many elders there so some people had to sit on the girls side ha. My favorite so far would still have to be Manti and we'll get to go every other transfer, so every three months. Up north we will go to Reno and down south at the Las vegas temple. Yeah I would love to do some family names, just send them my way.

I am here!! So sorry this email is coming today instead of yesterday. Things were switched up this week cause we are going to the temple tomorrow so they switched P-Day to Wednesday, but then the libraries are closed tomorrow for Veteran's Day so here I am today.

Well I guess I don't actually have to much to tell you guys since I did send that letter home. For one, thanks for the package!! Now i have some halloween candy for our dorm room trick or treat! :)

Well today I went to the temple and it was really cool. We went planning to do initiatory but when we got there the guy at the front desk said they could use us for some sealings. It was really cool and I think that was the most I felt the spirit in the temple thus far. It was just as if you could feel the people there and their happiness for the work being done.

Hi Guys!

Thanks for the addresses and don't worry about amy's I got her's.

Well things are going pretty well here. I love the MTC and don't really want to leave. Its crazy to think that in about a week and a half I will be in the mission field! AHHH!!

Well I am still here and still alive. The MTC has been pretty great so far. Just getting used to everything and getting settled. I have laughed more in the last four days than I have in the last year. The other elders in my district are awesome. But I have also learned a lot, there a ton of really powerful people here. Today is P-Day so I am just doing some laundry and writing you guys. For the rest of my time here my P Day will be on Saturday so that is when I will be emailing.
