Some Final Pictures and Thoughts in the MTC...

This is an email I got:
today i had class in the morning and class again tonight. i am doing my laundry one last time today before i leave. i am so freaking ready for guat i can't wait. i know it is going to be tough learnign the language but i feel ready and i have faith taht the lord will help me. and if i do get frustated christ knows exactly how i feel so i can always ask him for help. i am so ready to live in guat. i am prepared to take my last warm shower for 2 years tonight. thats weird to think about. i might be sleeping in a hammock tmrw night who knows. im so freaking ready though

Then a couple of minutes later I got this...

the last couple days at the mtc i can't wait. nothing really happened all that excing this week. we had in feild orentation on friday. we pretty much just go to a bunch of differnt workshops all day. we learn how to use the members to help us with missionary work and like how to use the biship and ward mission leader as well.  a lot of sitting down that day but besides that it was pretty fun. the problem with the mtc is there is a lot of sitting down haha. sunday was the best day though because it was our last church thing which is always good. that night we had like a departing missionary devotional. president brown the president of the mtc was speaking and this is like the last week he is going to be president here. so it was the last going away devotional he would do so it was a really special one. oh and i almost forgot president urchdorf stopped by to wish us good luck on our missions. wow was that cool. a person who has a perfect knowledge of god telling us that god personally needs everyone of us to teach the gospel. taht was incredible and the spirit was sooo strong it was incredible. i felt the spirit the rest of the night really strong. that was inredible really really cool. its crazy the spirit those guys bring into a room. that was maybe the coolest part of the mtc thus far. i just can't wait for guatemala. i am so ready to leave. i can't wait to talk to the fam tmrw night. are you going to keep charlie and ella and dave up so i can talk to them?

We did talk to you from the LAX airport and you were so ready to serve the people of Guatemala.  Let the fun begin....


Some of my favorite people in the MTC
 Elder Drumm is one of my best friends in here
 This Elder is from Minnesota and just a really good guy
 This is Elder Krey and I with a legit cowboy from Moroni, Utah
 This is my District and my two teachers.  They are the best and made class really fun.
 My companion and I
 We got an entire bottle of shaving cream and put it in the sink.
 This is Elder Krey who fell asleep every day during class.
 My district in front of the temple minus Elder Krey and Gibbs
 This is our district with a couple of tutor teachers.
