Hey family,
It is freezing cold here. En serio. Probably is everywhere, but going
outside is like el muerte. I wonder how Kate's wedding went. She must have been
freezing.
CONGRATULATIONS to Kate for getting herself wed and KAITLAN and Josh!
Congratulations! I was confused that about the date you were thinking though,
I'm not getting home until Mayish 2014. Not this year you weirdies.
I don't know how much anyone has heard about the apocalypse in the MTC.
Who knows if anything gets out of this place. But when we went to the temple
this morning they asked about it and even said that it was on the news that
everyone was sick at the MTC. Anyway, all I know is a bunch of rumors, and I
have no idea if there are true. But i'll describe what went down from my point
of view- hopefully no one searches MTC apocalypse and reads this email and
freaks out.
We rung in the New Year just like most of the world- throwing up.
Apparently it started at 10:30ish on NYE but all I remember is one of my
companions waking up at 4ish and running to the bathroom. As I was trying to
help, I realized my stomach was feeling queasy as well and thought "i recognize
this" so positioned myself perfectly and followed in the footsteps of my
companion. We went back to bed and then repeated the process exactly a little
while later. I wasn't worried- this has happened before. But my companions
wanted to go to the front desk. And so we went. And when we got there- a bunch
of other people were there in their pjs and the garbage cans from their rooms.
So funny. My other companion jumped on the bandwagon there and joined our
symphony of vomiting. :) Long story short- it really did seem like the end of
the world here. Our district got hit HARD but some didn't get hit at all. It
was all over the MTC- we could hear the loudspeaker all day calling ZL meetings
and cancelling the devotional. This is where all the rumors start happening so
I won't spread any of them because I pretty much didn't leave my room all day so
I certaintly wasn't there. It was a long, miserable day, but it only lasted
that day and we're all fine. We think it was some sort of food poisoning- who
knows. I don't care. And I'm glad that I am sure that you guys aren't going to
freak out and get mad at the MTC- that would be a dumb thing to do in my
opinion. We're all fine and although things got CRAZY for a little while, the
Lord takes care of his missionaries. ANd there were so many little Florence
Nightengales around bringing us gatorade and stuff- so lots of service
oportunities happened. :)
Mom- sorry to hear you guys are sick too- maybe it's the same thing! ;) I
hope you had a great birthday! I have a card for you but I lost track of time
so I forgot to finish it last pday so I had to wait until this time. I
seriously thought I had another week.
Fmaily and JS- THANK YOU for the Christmas stuff. I LOVED it! Seriously.
It was the best. I only opened one thing everyday- so it lasted awhile.
I have no time left- I'm trying to save some time in case I get my travel
plans later. I have really been focused on my purpose this week. I have been
taking it apart and studying it each day and it has been a really great
experience. I hope each of you are studying your scriptures and allowing
Heavenly Father to give you the light and truth he has promised you.
I LOVE YOU!
