dear family,
So all is well. your right
about the build up of letters on monday. i had six and everyone else didnt have
more than 2. i felt awesome but bad for others lol. Thank you for the package
with clothes and such. they really help. we work out 5 days a week and i did
not bring nearly enough clothes to keep from stinking up haha. thankfully we
are all guys and the sisters are else where because our whole floor stinks
after gym time when we are all standing in line waiting to shower. its so
funny. I guess to conitnue with gym, the first 2 weeks i played volleyball,
kickball, and such. but we have an elder in our district who has to work out
everyday, not play sports. His doctor said that was the condition for him to go
no a mission. so he is a fitness guru anyway and its awesome, so starting a
week ago i started to work out with him. its so much fun. we call his work out
program MTC SPACK (pernounced spock, like from startrek). kind of like our own
personal P90X. he destroyed me last week and i finally today can move my arms
above my head. last wednesday i couldnt touch the top of my head. i had to get
help putting on my tie because of the intenseness of it. he is awesome though.
Ok so the devotional was not
the prophet, but we did have an apostel. niel l anderson talked to us. it was
really cool. as soon as he entered everyone stood up (all 2700) of us and the
atmosphere was so weird. dont know how to explain it but it was cool. I
dont have time to explain waht he talked about but it was good.
yes mom you are right about the
older missionaries leaving today. One sister left yesterday and she was goign
to alpine. The rest left today. i gues si have not mentioned them much, but
when you told me that in the letter, that they were leaving it was kind of like
2 week old news haha. the older missionaries are like our mentors and our best
friends. they seem way older and yet i was older the the zone leader. kind of
wierd but cool. we were best friends especially with the triple sister
companionship. sister young, reid, and peterson. All three of them were amazing
they all had a MTC "yearbook" thing that we all signed. we took
pictures with all of them. it was so funny. sister young was about to cry as we
walked out of our classroom the last day before shye left. we were their
favorite district. they told us that everyday and they hung out with us
constantly. it was so much fun. but now they are all gone and no more fun. now
for 3 weeks of serious work. we need to put our heads down and full steam ahead
for 3 weeks. until the new guys show up :) oh so funny thing about the siters.
elder kincaid, my companion is a little bit of a talker. he loves to talk to
everyone and everything.
Ok so my letter home which
should get there tomorrow hopefully has the MOST spiritual stories ever. it was
the msot spiritual experience of my life. long sotry short al elder got a
package in the mail from someone that none of us knw. the letter was beautiful.
and ya it was amazing. the letter explains more about why this guy sent it and
what happened but elder c's prayer was answered literally, elder b was blessed
with the package and the support from it and as he read the letter from this
random guy to us all, we all felt the spirit and i think ahd many of our
prayers answered or something simliar happen that day. we are now called the
"miracle" district in the MTC to the older missionaries and the
branch presidency. no joke, he called our district that in priesthood. lol.
ok nearly running out of time.
answer questions as fast as possible. yes mom you can start a blog. no worries.
i think it would be cool, and i kind of assumed you were posting these already
on FB. KIRA I LOVE YOU!!! just wanted to say that. yesterday i was scarred and
worried for here because i read one letter but not the othetr so i only heard
about her forgetting birthday and such. i felt worried and sad so i
decided that today i would fast and pray for her. Then later that night ir ead
about the grand mal and i freaked. thankfully she is ok and all is good and she
should be going to the doctor today which is good. just want to let her know
that i love here. im praying and hopeing all is well with her. she has yet to
write me a letter so she cna do that if she wants. the spirit is so storng here
and as i prayed i felt comforted that all will be well. i really hope so :)
love you all
elder ustach
