Hey Hey
So as I sit here in the basement/laundry room of the MTC, I sadly realize I should be hitting my connecting flight at LAX, and then straight to Merida. Depressing I know, but Im grateful for the oppurtunity to be here just a little longer and learn that much more. I was talking to another Mexico elder this morning, who got reassigned 3 months ago and is just now getting his visa. He said he has been out almost 6 months, without stepping into his mission field yet. Ive been blessed because the travel office told us we are one of the first district in a long time to get our pro-misas (or however its said) so fast. They sound very opptomistic and said we could be here as short as one week, and hopefully 3 at the most. I am throughly convinced that being a Mexico bound Elder is the most nerve wracking thing at the MTC. But im lucky i have the chance to go straight to Mexico.
Mom! It was so freaking fantastic talking to you. I totally meant to play amean joke on you when you answered too. I was going to make up somestory about how i broke my femur or something and had to come home. But I heard that beloved "Heaven Scent flowers, How can I help you?" and froze up. I never thought i would miss hearing that...
Sorry Dad, that I didnt call you, but i know you understand. It would have gotten you in trouble more than me! But seriously, 5 minutes is nothing...
Well we got another apostle this week. thats two in a row! Elder Richard G. Scott. The teusday night devotionals are seriously the best part of the MTC. Rumor has it that there will be an apostle speaking tomorw tonight, and then the following week too. We heard it from an Elder whos Mom works at the mail room that recieves flowers everytime an apostle comes, and there is flowers coming for the next two weeks. One can hope....
Well Happy Halloween! It was just another normal sunday here, but we threw on some sweet 'staches last night to celebrate a little. I took some pics but have no way to develop them to get them out today. But there are some pictures on thier way!
The only thing that happened this week that was crazy was that my companion, Elder Moser, thought he might have testicular cancer. Cancer runs in his family hardcore. Like more than half is relatives have some kind of cancer. He had a cousin die from testicular caner a while back, and he was in some pain and the doctor wanted to him to go to the hospital to get an ultra sound. It was pretty scary for the both of us. But luckily we found out this morning thier is nothing wrong. He has gone through so much in these past two months. I wish I could help him even more somehow. I appreciate everyone that has been praying for both him and I. But regardless, going out into the real world was so nice. Everyone would come up to me and shake my hand and ask how i was doing (only in utah). One lady asked what i thought when i opened my call and it said Provo. I laughed and said i was at the mtc and was going to Mexico. She looked releaved hahaha.
So every sunday night we have a fireside. They are usually pretty good, but not as good as tuesday night devotionals. Every fireside/devotional there is a specail musical number that you have to try out for and then get picked to do. they are always way good. Well last night, an elder from my zone was told he was playing an hour before it started. Tey had tried out like 2 weeks ago. He played the Chello, another elder played the piano, and another sang. It was way good but i bring it up because it was a disaster for my elder. First someone kicked his chello 5 minutes before they were supposed to play and threw it out of tune i guess, and he rushed to get it back into tune, then his michrophone wasnt working so you couldnt even hear him, and then he was so nervous he missed one of his notes pretty bad. it was one of the few you could hear. Luckily was joked about it after ward, so i can admit that it was hilarious.
So yes, I do like the suit. Thank you so much for sending it. I dont know what i was thinking wheni told you 42 L. Its a good thing you sent a 40 L though. Its a little big but Im really not trying to impress anyone around here. I am very grateful for such amazing parents, who, lets face it, raised a stud.
I have come (Im pretty sure through force) to love the MTC. It truely is an amazing place. When you are here you get used to the spirit always, and just want to leave, but I know once I will leave I will miss it, so Im making the most of the extra time I have here. I love everyone, and I love those that write me even more. Hope everyone has a great week! I know I will.
Love, Elder Kitterman
