Hey spence the home is good Mom. I don't know why it's called that. Spencers fireside sounds cool, send me more about it. Oh and dad mispelled words are because I'm in a laundry room with dryers going so it's a little warm and I'm typing like a mad man so I can say all that I want to say so ha. Josh congrats on being a girl, that's way cool, I bet all the girls want you now. Just remember keep a leash on it, so you can come and do this awesome mission thing. You got scrapped on your grad party it sound like, you didn't have half of the stuff that we had. Dad thanks for the letter that was way awesome, I can't say it enough about how much this is just like scouts and leadership, especially the leadership meetings in our Zone. Thanks for the ties and the popcorn, the sisters in our district gave me tons of complements on the green diagonal striped one, and my comp is jealous of it. They are way cool and you know I love the popcorn, the card was coolio also. I gotta tell ya a story, I got kicked by this 6-9 byu rugby giant when I pulled a move. He hadn't played soccer so he missed the ball and whacked my leg with his tree trunk of a leg. I thought I was in trouble My first thought was oh no I cant serve my mission now. I got up and started to walk it off and I knew it would be ok. It started to bruise instantly and looked nasty, all the other missionaries said it looked bad when I got hit and you could see the bruising happen. This is for Josh and spence (A new tradition) There's this elder cook who is district leader in one of the younger districts, he really looks up to me and asks me for advice, he says I'm an example for him. Anyway he does this thing in a scottish accent he goes "There's wee, not so wee, and freakin' huge" I'll have to do it for you on the phone when I call tomorrow. My flight leaves at 841 so be ready at about 6 ish.I found my mask and shampoo. I forgot to tell you that they have an ice cream bar on sunday and wednesday. The other elder's in my room including my comp say our room smells like bum, from all my sweat when I run stairs (I know I'm ridiculous). I put my clothes on the vent fan thing to dry and they say it blows the smell around and it smells like hole. I don't smell it though. I have a haircut today though, I'm excited. We had a health and safety meeting and he did this joke he shook and elders had told him he was a urologist and asked him why we need to wash our hands, he told him a urologist examines prostates, and the elder retreated. I got syrup on my pinstripe suit today so I need to get it dry cleaned when I get there cuz I tried to wipe it with a napkin and turned it white. I need along with the other stuff that I asked for my volcom belt, and skate shoes, pants are falling off me. Anyway now to the serious stuff, I hope you got my letter explaining my experience in the referal center with Kim Hurndon from california. I called him back and he had met with the missionaries and loved it and had set up another apointment. So this might be the first fruits of my labor. There have been some amazing experiences here, i almost lost it in sacrament the other day when we sang I believe in christ my voice cracked and I just thought about how I believed and knew the gospel was true and the memories that I had here at the mtc. I'll miss it here. spence be strong in soccer I'll get the workout to ya. here is a scripture alma 26:7 this will boost you up spence and everyone else. After all that's what all I have to here is scriptures love ya tons.
