Mar 3, 2011-Almost gone!

Dear Mommy,

 

I got my travel plans!!! Oh I am so excited!! And everyone else is, too :) :)  It just makes it so much more real to know what time we will be leaving, and that we will be leaving in a week and 3 days!! gaah! I'm so excited!! :) yay

 

That woman I mentioned, from Italy, she said she was converted to the gospel about 40ish years ago in Italy.  So I mentioned your name and asked if she knew of you, but she didn't :( But it is still cool, cuz that was about the time you were there :)

Tell Deane thanks for the suggestion!! One of the problems I always have is how to get a conversation started, and that seems like a really good way to do that! I will definitely use it :)

 

I have been getting everything I need.  I am going to put a bunch of the stuff I don't need into one of my suitcases, and send it home.  Then they will give me a bigger suitcase to... use or to have, I'm not sure which.  And then I think they are also going to send some stuff via mail, so I don't have to pack it all.  So.  Be expecting a package from me sometime.

 

Speaking of travel plans.  I will be able to call you while I'm traveling between the MTC and France.  So that's the 14th and ... maybe the 15th.  I don't know the time difference, but I know that when I arrive, it'll be Tuesday.  But yeah.  Give me some times I can call you, and make some time.  Yay I excited ^.^  I'll keep my watch at Utah time until after I call, so that I can keep track of what time it is for you without doing math.  I know I like math, but it's not quite as fun when I have to know time differences, too. And I don't have a calculator.  So :P

 

You know, I am getting more confidence in being able to follow promptings of the spirit.  In a few of the lessons we have been teaching in the past week, I have found myself having really good ideas that I normally wouldn't think of; when I follow them, they have a good effect on whoever I am teaching.  It is really exciting :)

 

Anyways.  Gotta go.  Love you!  Save that voice so I can hear you when I call!  Here, how about you do this: just don't talk for the next week and 3 days.  That's not too hard ;) ok.  Bye!
