Hmm, well let's see. Lol, Thank you so much for the Zune, I don't mean to complain, the speakers Daniel picked out are just awkward. You're supposed to put your iPod in it and then you can take it around with you because it's battery powered, but because mine doesn't fit in I'd have to keep it open with the Zune lying out and then I couldn't take it with me and leave it at the apartment and since I'd have to leave it at the apartment why have a battery powered one that doesn't fit, I thank you for the thought and sincerely the effort! I really do! Daniel's just a dork, lol. The radio thing. Well, the Zune already has a radio in it...technically. But I have sincerely no desire to listen to the radio. Im actually very into the gospel thing now. Actually, you sent me an album called Sunday's best! OH WOW! It's amazing! Lol. It has an arrangment of "If you could hie to Kolob" that's a spectre from the God's. Amazing, lol. Then the Mormon Tabernacle, you have 4 or 5 whole albums on there, that was amazing, then the Marvin Goldstein, kudos for good taste thank you. It makes such a difference when studying at night when you're getting ready to go to bed. Hopefully in Mexico I can listen to it while I sleep too. Here nobody likes too, so oh well... anyway. Let's see, Yes Elder Shumway is from AZ, actually he lived by the AMC theatre on Stapley and Baseline, or somewhere in that region. Maybe North of the 60, I'm not sure...I can ask him again sometime = ) He wants to hang out when we get back. Haha, Well my actual companion, is Elder Porter. He's in some of my pictures, I'll have to mark him for you. And no...the tall one is Elder Bolander. he's from Utah Salt Lake City. I don't know any other blonde tall kids who like basketbal = \ Anyway. Well, the wounds almost completely sealed. I don't know if that's good or not, I should get it bandaged today but I don't know. Not much time. Anyway, We MIGHT go to Salt Lake today to the consolate and see if we get our Visas. The MTC is really stupid though and said "come at 1:30 (which is the time they LEAVE for Salt Lake) and we'll tell you if you can go) Which is horrendously foolish... just come and waste your only day off and then we'll just say no anyway. Temple was good today though, I need to remember the good things, I'm praying to know my purpose, and how I can better recognize the Spirit. I need to remember to dance in the Rain, everytime I forget that I see it posted somewhere from you. Keep sending it. I need it, thank you! Well, yes, our group all goes at the same time to Guadalajara. Next Monday hopefully... the flight would be at 10:00/10:40. It's a straight 4 hour flight then we get off the plane and start working. The elders going to Monterrey have a 5 hour layover in Texas, go do whatever they want. I'm a little upset about that, I'd like 5 frickin' minutes to do ANYTHING that they REQUIRE me to do. Not only is there not free time, there's not time to do what they tell us to do. Then they talk everyweek about how we're behind and not doing what we need to. Now...I know a little time management can fix this, so looking at it from a Christlike manner, I can still do better. I love how the Spirit helps me think straight even when emailing = D I don't know when I'd call you, but this is the last chance Iget to email you from the MTC, so, expect it around 9/9:30 I don't know. I GOT LETTER FROM DAVID ON SATURDAY! He thought I was in Mexico already, lol. So he sent a letter there, then when you called him the other day he decided to wrte me another letter I guess! I was happy either way. I'm still waiting for everyone else. I got the letter from Jessyca today too! I'm SO excited to write her in Spanish! Lol. I'm going to go reply to you're other two emails too! Plus I might remember some otehr fun stuff to say!
