Hello again family!!
I just had another great week! I'm learning soo much about the Gospel and about Spanish! I love it. I just got back from the Temple and it was really good, as always. We had Neil L. Andersen come speak to us for the Tuesday night devotional! I don't know why I didnt go to those when I lived in Rexburg.. :'( I don't remember what Elder Andersen spoke about off the top of my head, but I remember it being a really good talk! All my notes are in my classroom.
Thank you for the package!! You know me all too well, Mom. You definitely called my favorite tie! Its name is The Mafia because it looks like something a mobster would wear. Elder Cram named it that. Elder Cram is called the White Mamba because of his basketball skillz; he played for Dixie State. I get compliments on the tie when I wear it.. I've got a pretty sweet collection of ties! I like to call it the Chamber of Secrets.. There's a lot of Elders here that would highly enjoy having my collection.
I keep hearing about Damon walking! What the heck?! By the way, I had a dream last night that Haley was like 7 months pregnant.. So uh, I'm expecting another neice or nephew when I get home!
We got a new district in our zone this week! Its nice to have some nubes in here because my district isnt the nubes anymore!
I see Judd Waggstaff alll the time, in fact, I just saw him about 20 minutes ago. He seems like a way cool guy and a lot of people from Utah know their construction company, so thats pretty cool.
Everything has been going great! My companion is a really good example to me, and I've been working on being more focused.. That's one thing he's really good at, so I'm glad I have that example. As you may know, focusing is a hard thing for me to do.. But I'm getting better at it!
OH!! I only have 3 1/2 weeks left in the MTC! When I got here on Wednesday, April 13th, that was my first week.. So the following Monday was the start of my 2nd week.. So I'm over half way to getting to Paraguay! And I can call when I get to the airport! I think I'm going to get an international calling card in the bookstore, if they have them..
I bought a new set of scriptures last week, so I'll be sending my old ones home! I don't want them getting trashed in Paraguay.. But my new ones were super cheap because of the missionary discount here.. They were like $30 and it was free to get my name on them! Pretty cool..
On my way to check my email, one of the MTC security guards tried to run me over.. I had to do a double take because I recognized him! haha! Vaughnster Monster Christensen! It was pretty awsome seeing him; he asked how everything was going and we talked for a few minutes.. and he told my companion about the time he hit me in the head with the baseball bat.. So, great times are happening in the MTC!
I wrote Dallin a couple weeks ago and I got a letter back! It sounds like he's doing really good and I was really excited to hear from him. Even though he has my bike from Rexburg in his garage back home.. I still miss the kid. I see Dean Hansen quite a bit! He's on fire! He's really excited.. He's only been here like 2 weeks and I've been here 5! I think he leaves for Nebraska next week.. Also, Devin Erikson from Parma is in here, he's going to Florida! Pretty awesome.. I hung out with him a few times in Rexburg, he and Katie B. had a thing for each other a few years ago.. He's a way cool guy.
Here's this weeks report! I'm writing a letter to send home today.. I printed off a couple more copies of the pic i sent Haley so you can have a copy and one for my plaque.. Which reminds me, I went to print a picture off the other day, and my ink cartrage took a dump! So there goes 30 prints out the window.. I'm on my last cartrage now, so if its possible, I would HIGHLY appreciate some extras. :) I hope all is well at the home front! Write me lots!
I love you!
Elder Colby Dane Heiner
