Things are good, just getting sick of the routine, I guess it is a good thing that I'm not here learning chinese. It would be cool but I would probably go crazy! haha well I have one more week, we got our travel papers on saturday and we are leaving tuesday morning around 4 so I will be able to call home around 5 or 530 so be awake and we can chat a bit because when I get to ohio my P day is on monday.
Last night was our last devo. and Elder Holland came to talk. It was really good, he talked about how important it is for me, all missionaries to be here and the coolest thing about it was that he didn't have a written talk. He just got up and talked to us about how much they love us and appreciate what we do, but they also don't apologize because they know they are asking alot and that it is really required to do the lords will. Before the devo started i saw kelly so i went to talk to him to try to find out who it was, because they don't tell you. so i went up and asked and he said that i wasn't suppose to know so i asked straight up if it was elder holland cause of that one time long ago when i shook his hand and he kissed ammon remember? so becuase of that we were really close to meeting him, but no cigar. haha
The other day when you got a text from him i went and found him in his office and we talked for a bit and just a little bit of catching up and stuff you know? it was a really good talk if you ask me ha. He is such a good guy. anyways, the elder from the tricities doesn't know the halversons, he is from pasco which is the town over. so I have a list of stuff i would like in that package... ;) I would really like a calander with the birthday's already put it in ha cause come on, Michael is bad at remembering birthday's! also if you could send me a line of authority that would be pretty cool to have too. that's all that came to my mind but you are always welcome to send more if you think i will need it, cause mom know's best right? so how's ammon doing? is he still the "tough guy" is he enjoying football?
This one is for scott and his family. thanks guys for the package, (if you didn't get my letter, i sent it to my mom ha) and thanks for the lettter and keeping me updated, and i really appreciate it and all the thought. but i have one request for you, Spanish fork football is interesting becuase you know that's my old team but if you could try to refrian from speaking about it and sending me articles that would be great. I appreciate the thought and everything i just don't want anything to be able to distract me from the work that i am doing. so don't take that as an offense because i really appreciate your letters.
Mother, back to you. just so you know, missionary mall hemmed my pants too short so I'm going to get them let out about an inch or so today before we head out to Ohio. I can't believe that I am almost out of here, I'm really excited to actually teach people during the day instead of having four hours of study time that i can't focus for all of it. ( just a good amount ;)
I had an experience last thursday that really got me frustrated, we were in the TRC again teaching this lady who is "baptist" and she was so unreceptive and so ugh you know, it was like you couldn't even talk to her because she didn't give you a good answer or even ask questions! so as we were teaching i was just like why are we here, she isn't acting like she want's them missionaries here! after we got out i was so mad i punched a brick walll... stupid huh? do we remember the last time i got so mad i punched something? yeah it never happens, I was so upset with the way she acted, but later that day and throughout this last week i just realized that i wish my other investigator in the TRC was like that because I need to get use to rejection and not doing well becuase I have never been ignored like that before in my life so it was really hard with the way she acted, but it's good for me and I realized that so i just need to keep me head up and pray to heavenly father that he will take me to the finish line because i can only go so much.
King comes in today!!! I'm looking for him! that would be so cool to run into him here, I wish i knew what time he was coming in so i could find him as he came in. we'll see what happens but i'm so happy that he has finally made it this far. I can't wait until JR and Matthew can be here. Matt finally finished his papers by the way! so they will be in soon! i'm so proud of him for finally getting it done!
This one is for Kaylee Johnson, I know I wont get a letter back but that's okay. I just wanted to show that I haven't forgotten anyone. ;) How is work going with the old person home and the reception work? I hope it's going good. Have you met any friends that you don't work with? haha school starts soon too yeah? I hope your family has adjusted well. I'm doing good so don't fret haha.
I Don't have much else to say because the MTC is really repetitive in its ways and schedule so i can't thing of anything else to tell you all. so ta ta for now. TTFN!! ;)
I love you all. Michael
