Hi,
Okay I lied. Dear Elder is not guaranteed same-day. It is either guaranteed same day or next day. I did get the card that was post marked on the 30th, thank-you. Although I have gotten the other Wesley Christensen's Dear Elder letters. Every Tuesday a General Authority speaks to the MTC. Last Tuesday was Claudio R.M. Costa from the Presidency of the 70's.

5 out of the 9 elders in my district are going to Houston. The other 4 are going to N. Sydney. The good news is the N. Sydney Mission Pres. sounds way more strict than mine. We got a new district last Wednesday with 8 elders going to Indianapolis and 4 sisters, 2 going to S.L Visitor Center and 2 going to D.C Visitor Center. Most of our other district left at 5:00 this morning. 6 went to Las Vegas West, 1 went to Cincinnati, 2 are still here and 1 from East Layton (by 193) is going to Jamaica tonight at 12:30. The last one is going to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I heard that there are Spanish speaking Elders who were called to Toronto but were told last week they are going to South D.C. instead even though their travel plans say Toronto. Not sure whats going to happen, but that would kind of stink.

Congrats on getting into Pageant. I wish I could go so bad! I have already learned 10x more than what they taught us at there. We get to go to the temple every P-day but it is closing for renovations on Friday so today was my last day. The BYU Mens choir came and sung last night.

There is a place here where I can print up digital pics although it might be broken at the moment. It takes a couple of days to develop, but I'll try to send some pics before I leave.

Tell everyone not to send me any cards with sparkle (glitter) on them! Sally sent me one with sparkle snow on it and it just got everywhere!

I had to sit through my first choir practice on Sunday, because my whole district was going. I would rather go to the dentist than go to another one. { says the boy who has never had a cavity}

Getting up in the morning is still really hard. Thanks for the Extension cord. My clock cord was about 2" to short. Thanks for all the packages. The biscuits were delicious! I am starting to put on a little weight. On Saturday my weight was 196 lbs.

Got to go times almost up.
Bye
