Dear the best family in the entire world,
This letter is going to be completely scattered!!! I made of list of things I want to write so yeah... I only have a short time but I found out that if you hold the minimize button it will stop the timer haha!!
For devotional on Sunday we had Sheri Dew speak. It was so powerful! And Sister Dalton did the relief society. She is an amazing lady and I'll mail you some quotes and thoughts from both of the devotionals later. Oh and Lynn G. Robbins of the seventy spoke on Tuesday night.
Addresses!! I need Grandma and Grandpa's, Lindsey Hendrickson's and Alyssa Morgan's mission addresses! And how long she will be in the MTC!
I leave the MTC July 10th and my mission card says it expires on November 26th. So maybe I'll be home in time for Thanksgiving AND Christmas? BOOYAH!!
I will be shuttled to Temple Square to be trained for being a visiter's center sister. I think I go on July 4th and July 6th? It shoudl be awesome and Maybe I will get to see Janet Reynders!!
The MTC choior is only by audtion because of all the new mission presidents coming in and with my assignment as coordinating sister I don't even have time to do it because i'm in meetings!!! So far i KNOW that the Prophet,, President Uchdorft and President Eyering are coming. There is two more but I can't remember who. And I don't think that we get to see them. And the security is way high here at the MTC right now because of the mission presidents and general authorities coming. we can only go to the big building to eat!! And the are asking "investigators" that we teach to not come either. Because i'm a VC sister I get to give the mission president's a tour of the MTC on saturday. I'll be doing that from 1-4. Maybe I'll get my mission president or the McMullin's!! I think I just go by myself and take one couple at a time. I'm really excited for this!!
Do I have a new nephew yet? Please send pictures and stats of his body when I do. haha that sounds weird but I want to know!!!
The rain coat fits SO good. Thanks for sending it. And my lips have never been more moisturized or protected by the sun mom. Thanks!!
K.C. thank you for sending me my clothes and gushers! Such a great treat!
The laundry room is closed today because there is a gas leak. I'm so bummed out. I'm out of garments and needeeeeed to do laundry!! Hopefully it will open later.
I love being the coordinating sister!! I get to give the new sisters in our branch orientations and help the zone leaders give all the new missionaries in our branch tours of the MTC. It's really nice to switch things up and I love getting to do motherly things like leaving little notes and stuff. I learned from the best!! Speaking of the best, mom HOW ARE YOU SO CRAFTY!! That card you sent me looked like it was straight up out of a hallmark store!! You are so talented!
My shoes are so awesome. It feels like i'm walking on a cloud. No blisters yet!!
my companions and I tried out the yoga class this morning. It was....interesting. I see yoga as a way of meditation and breathing and if that is what it is then the instructor must have been having a heart attack because she went really fast!! For gym time during the day we ususally do some cardio and then we do yoga or pilates together. I'm glad i payed attention in my fitness classes at school!! It really comes in handy!!
Okay brandon my heart stopped when I heard about the bomb!! What happened? Is everyone okay? I feel so out of the loop with world news.
Mom please don't put my email address on my blog for anyone to see. ONLY immediate family can email me. And since I only have 30 minutes to email it is best to just write me a letter or dear elder me. So if you reply to this email can you please just do it in dear elder please!! I get it the same day too so it's AWESOME! I always read my letters while i'm at the gym too and I usually have a few extra minutes at night to write some letters and always tons of time on P-day! I love getting letters from everyone! Thank you so so so much! It helps so much!!! And if you havne't written me Please do it!! I want to hear what's going on in your life!!
My teachers are so awesome here! My district and I always struggle to stay awake during class time so we have taken up the hobby of speed walking. If someone is feeling tired we stand up in class. If that doesn't help we have speed walking races around the buildings. I'm getting really good at it.
On sunday we took a temple walk! It was SO hot out so when we got there we cooled off at the fountain. Don't worry we didin't go swimming or anything but I did put some water on my arms and legs and then we went a layed under a tree. It was so nice and relaxing. We get to go into the temple today as a branch and I'm so excited!!!
My district is the bomb. At first everyone was super akward and didn't know anyone but now we all love each other. It feels like i'm hanging out with my little brothers and two sisters all day. There are four elders and three sisters (including me). And these are the same people that are in the classes with me! One of them is like a young dwight Shrutte/patrick from spongebob. He is SO funny. I guess there is this monster truck rally commercial that says "MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY" on it? Anyone know what i'm talking about? anyways, so every day in the cafeteria he will do that to let us know what day it is. I guess you have to be there but it cracks me up. And he's a red head so if we are outside for more than two minutes he is like a fresh red lobster.
I love my companions! We are finally getting comfortable around each other and can talk about anything! They are soo cool and we hav e alot in common!! I can't wait to get to know them more! It's kind of weird having two companions but i connect with bnoth of them in different ways ya know?
I know I brought a lot of clothes But i still feel like I don't have a lot of shirts? Maybe it's because It's laundry day? haha. K.C., Rissa or mom, if I sent you some money could you get me a few more shirts and send them to me? I have enough button up shirts and cardigans, but just more like cute and girly shirts i guess is what I need. Maybe some ascot tops and some flowy stuff. Can one of you dear elder me if you would have time to do this and I'll send you money or mom can give you money from my bank account? That would be so great! Thank you so much!!
Okay here is some stuff from the talks that I really liked
From Elaine S. Dalton's address...
-Chasten has a realtionship with the word charity. So Heavenly Father will Chasten us so that we can be the pure vessel he needs us to be.
-It is not enough to have a testimony of Jesus Christ. You need a conversion because a conversion is what you do about what you already know.
-Proverbs 3:5 AWESOME
From Sheri Dew's address...
-The world is in desperate need of righteous and fearless fathers
-Life isn't abou this life, it's about what comes next.
-One of the greatest evils that Satan will do is to make us forget or not remember.
-Have you ever asked the Lord to teach you what it feels like when he speaks to you? DO IT!
-The temple is the one place on Earth that Satan cannot dwell!!
Mom I have some "nurse" questions so i'll send you another email.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! I can't even begin to explain how much your support means. Some elders haven't gotten letters yet so thank you s much!!
Love sister kiuhns
