My time here at the MTC has been amazing and yes I am writing in my journal every night. I am also taking lots of pictures but I never get a chance to send them, maybe when I get in the field I will have a better chance to do that.
We are all wondering what Thanksgiving dinner will be tomorrow, we do have a special devotional tomorrow morning which means we might get lucky and have a real Thanksgiving dinner, we all are hoping for one.
I really miss, the rain, we had a few days where it rained in past weeks but none for a while, it is really disappointing. Speaking of weather and natural stuff we survived (by technicality) 2 natural disasters on Saturday, there was an earthquake but it was too small and too far away to feel and then on a nearby hill there was a wildfire which burned all the way up the side, it was cool to see and now there is a black outline of where the fire was. So technically we survived 2 natural disasters within about 5 hours of each other.
We got green dots on our name tag on Monday to signify that we are leaving next week and that is crazy to finally realize it is happening. We also get to sing in Sacrament meeting on Sunday since we are leaving on Monday, we are thinking of singing a medley of God be with you till we meet again and Ill go where you want me to go, it should be awesome.
Speaking of leaving I fly out Monday morning at 7 50 AM and get to Dallas Fort Worth at 10 50 and then we have a layover until 1 and we fly down to Mcallen and arrive by about 2. So by early afternoon on Monday I will officially be in the field. Rumor has it that we get to call home from the airport on Monday which would be a weird time for you guys because it would be around 3 in the morning but I will try to find out and let you know before then, I will probably just call the house phone so if you get a random number from Mexico calling on Monday morning that is probably me.
I got my first haircut today and it is not too bad, they just basically shortened what I already had so it is just a bit shorter, but not short enough, oh well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We have been having fun here and it is crazy to think that we are almost done, the Spanish is getting better day by day, I can now understand more of what Latinos are saying and I am able to not only say more but have what I say be grammatically correct for the most part.
I love you guys and I will email next week from the USA!!!
Love Jaden
