Dear Family,
Yes i know that all the dear elder mail will come
today. i wanted to wait to do email until i got it all butthat would be to late
in the day and i would miss email entirely. I am excited for all the letters. i
knew i wouldnt be getting any because of the timing of the holiday and the
weekend. so no responses to your weekend but i can tell you how mine went and
some resquests.
This week has been good. lots of fun with the
district and such. No more older missionaries so it is very quiet in the hall.
I am not sure if i mentioned but i got sick. even after dad sent me all the
meds i will ever need in the MTC. its a cough and slight fever. but im always
hot so maybe no fever. i took my temp and nothing, but idk. Its just a whole
bunch of mucus in the back of my throught so coughing is like the only thing to
get it all out. they sell mucinex in the store but im mostly over it by now so
its good. saturday and sunday morning was the worst for it. I am feeling a bit
better now though and coughing a lot less so that is good. drinking lots of
fluids and trying to keep myself up and awake.
Sundays fireside there was no speaker. instead we
watched the "golden days: a celebration of life" the thomas s monson
birthday celebration. it was really cool. and then for the movie that night
they were only showing one and it was called "labor of love" a super
cheasy 90's film on ojne missionaries flight home. it was so funny. its
probably on the lds website if you want to watch it. oh ok so on the lds
website go to mormon messages and watch ALL OF THEM!!! they are all so good.
they take up a lot of time and a really good thing to watch to invite the
spirit and lift your mood if your feeling down. we watch them all the time in
our spare time. they have specific ones for youth to which are really
inspirational and helpful. they are all awesome.
candice: i love your random info everyday. i share
it with all the guys in my district after dinner evertime we get mail. its so
funny. my personal favorites so far are the over 400 zoos and the over 300
types of bread. we figured out that we could eat a different kind of bread
everyother day and probably not run out before we leave :) I love kari's
biorthday. that sounds like loads of fun. its funny who she invited to it as
well. im sure she will love the fish and the clothes she got. perhaps i can get
something together. draw her a picture or something and send it to her. i will
do something. better late than never. oh so for the "mark is making a
tractor for the classroom" what classroom are you talking about? im
confused. in reaction to kira's comments about her incident. im sure you would
have gone all the way under. i bet it was scary not being ablwe to move or do
anything, and still feel and hear whats going on. any news on why or what
heppened from the doctor? what did she say? are you on new meds? i need the
details :) oh and for kira's relief socieity president. perhaps it is a
learning curve for her. not all are perfect. none of us are. president monson
was called as a bishop at the age of like 26. idk about you but i dont think he
was perfect and maybe he had to learn how to deal with specific things like
that. idk the circumstances but all will be well. kira, you are still in my
prayers. i hope you can feel the saviors love in your daily life. i know he
loves youa nd is looking out for you. im sure you klnow that, but i just wanted
to say it.
no email back from simms yet. an address would be
nice but if he didnt respond to me then idk when he will respond to you. oh
well. all is good. idkl if you got the letter with the info, but send me kirspy
creme for the free gift. they are the easiest to eat and are better than the
cinnomon buns. i had no idea julie already got an award for her pictures!!!
thats awesome. which one was it? i think you already told me but i forgot. what
did she get for winning? or am i just missinformed or crazy and i just wanted
her to win lol.
Ok so things i want/need. my gray pants, between
the legs they are starting to wear out. i wear them the most of all ebcause i
dont wear my suit pants unless im wearing my suit which is only on tuesdays and
sundayds. so other than that its the gray pants. thats why they are wearing out
already. they are fine, but just wanted to let you know so maybe another pair
might be needed soon. oh i would totally love a super sweet paisley tie, a
super sweet pokodot tie. and a super sweet just straight solid color tie. the
solid color tie doesnt need to be awesome. i just want it to i can have all myu
companions and idstrict throughout my mission sign it. oh so still no idea how
im going to usee my cd's. but i need to use them because elder kincaid ahs
never heard primary songs and i have them all on cd but no way to share them.
maybe you guys can figure out a way to do it. i would love a new tie tack as
well. i lost the back to my other one. ya lots of stuff sorry. love you all. i
hope all is well. we get new germans next week, so in 8 days and then we leave
in 4 weeks!!!! its crazy. we are all totally stoked.
Love,
Elder Ustach
