Answers to Mom's questions

~ have you met the missionaries that are at the MTC ahead of you going to your mission? I know there was a Sister Foote there.

I don't think any missionaries going to our mission are still here.  They must already be in the country, because it's just us.  There is no way they are still here because they have like a three week break before new missionaries for our mission come to the MTC.  I will look out for her though

~ are your Saturdays any different?

No, they are kind of hard but the same.  We have class in the morning and afternoon, but instead of going to gym we have studies and then dinner.  After dinner we finally get gym and then do learning assessments and then more studies.  They are basically the same

~ what is your Sunday like?

We don't have breakfast til 740 so that is nice to have extra time to get ready. Then we study til relief society which is at 1110.  Then we go to lunch. Then sacrament mtg, then disctrict mtg, then a walk to the temple to take pictures. THen dinner and choir practice (every sunday and tuesday, which I love,  Choir is awesome!!!!) Then a devotional, then we watch a film, like a talk or chruch movie or something

~ have you seen Emily Day by now?  (be sure to take pictures!!!!)  I saw Bridgett Lundahl working at Big 5 and learned she served in Emily's Mission.

Yes, all the time at dinner, whihch is awesome!  Jade took the picture of us, so i need that from her.  Or maybe you can get that from her mom.  Oh that is so cool!

~ when you play volleyball, are you tucked away somewhere in the MTC or do you walk across the street and play over in front of the temple?

We walk across the street and up the grass hill to the huge sand courts.  It's before the temple, so in between the mtc and temple.

~Can you play on the big grassy area in front of the temple?

Not on the temple grounds, but there is a huge grass field for missionaries to play on across from the MTC.

~ I see a big hole started on the south end of the MTC lot.  Are they expanding the MTC and do you know what they will build there on the corner?

Hmm, i don't know.  Probably a new housing building or something

~ have you tried on all your clothes by now and tried some different combos? 

not all, just my summer shirts, but they are great.

~ what about those blazers?  I think I sent you a picture of the missionaries in Latvia with the President and they weren't wearing them as if they needed to be dressed up extra special.  Maybe they will add warmth in the winter, but maybe they are only for your own self if you like that style.  Decide if you take them all.

okay thanks, Love you so much!
