First missionary photo sent by Luke from Brazil. A picture of our cat "Patchy" just before Luke left Utah.
(Dad thinks it's quite hilarious... Mom is NOT amused!!!)
Luke and his MTC companion, Elder H...... an impossible dream though. I’m sweating profusely as I type this, and there is a steady rain coming down outside. I miss snow. (hey oh)
Thanks Dad for sending me the blogs from the Magleby’s. It was great to hear what is goin’ on with those guys. I hope that Rob’s mission continues to do well, and that it doesn’t get too hard for the church to continue to do missionary work there. Although long train rides sound real nice.
So Berkeley is back on Friday, huh? Somebody tell her for me that if she’s willing to wait about 1 year and 11 months, I think we can have a great future together. There’s a temple altar with our name on it, Berkeley! I’ve seen quite a few German things around here (people speaking, signs, etc.) so maybe I’ll get to try some German on them. Was Kost du, madchen?
You can send pic’s, just make sure that they are at a low resolution, otherwise it can take a lot of time to download. Oh, and all three packages came, one from you guys, one from Auntie Sue & Nate, and one from Tota. Thank you very much everyone that sent me stuff.
American Candy is a big hit over here. I gave some to my teacher, Brother Silva, and he loved it so much he wanted to marry his Kit-Kat I think.
I’ll try to send pic’s this time, now that I have the card reader. Some of them are from about a month ago. We’re only allowed to take pic’s on p-day, and then only inside the MTC, so I don’t have any cool neighborhood pic’s, which is unfortunate. There is a pretty sweet mural of Ash, Misty, and Brock from Pokemon on the front of a store just two doors down from where I sit. I want a picture of that, but oh well.
There may be a tiny ray of hope for the phone call [Getting Mom's hopes up, again!]. It’s rumored that when you get to the mission home, they let you call home if you missed the Christmas call. I don’t know if that’s true, or just a well-intentioned Mormon Myth/False Doctrine (which as I read Elder Wells Magleby say, are one and the same), but there may be some hope come early January. What’s funny is, the districts that are one week ahead of us are the most peeved about not getting a phone call. Just one week ahead and they would get a phone call. Oh well.
