Hey guys! I've got 22 minutes left after reading all of those! I think we should stick to one email going back and forth between each other a week. If you got anything super long to right we should send some letters. But things are great, it feels so good to think that I have basically seven days left! ONE WEEK! Like the MTC isn't terrible but I am so excited to get out of here. I was so sad Darren got delayed, I was so excited to give him a huge hug mid cafiteria. Ok well you guys have like a million questions every letter and email so I'll try to knock them off quickly here, then I'll blab about what I want to share. Ohh. PS this enter button doesn't work, driving me nuts.
Here's some of moms questions I think, or answers I guess. We stay at the MTC 24/7, we are aloud to leave the campus of the MTC twice a week. On sunday after sacrement to go on a temple walk with our district and Pday (tuesday for me) mornings to attend the temple. All eight Elders in my district are going to SLCS mission, there are three tongain Elders and one Sis. Missionairy going in a different zone going to SLCS as well. I have everything I need so far, we packed amazing and feel like I'm set. Today is the first day I'll have to iron some shirts. Got a huge load of laundry to do right after this. The food is great here and I'm playing bball lots, there are some good players here. I'm reading in the B of M still its going good and you should see how marked up it is. But totally organized marked up. Like neet tabs and color coordinated in realtion to all the lessons, its rad. And yes mom I am keeping an intense full time journal, every night. Even has things taped inside of it. We heard about Olympics and the hockey game from this guy who gave a devotional to everyone in the MTC, sounds great, woooo whooo hockey lol. OK thanks for all the addresses I appreciate that and if I could get all my sisters addresses too. THANKS! I appreciate all the letters from dear Elder means so much, and I have sent a few pictures back home, a letter to Breanne, and letter to Lindsay with a few pictures. Just sit tight they will come, I hope. Alright!!!!! 12 minutes left and I'll try to share a little about my week. Stupid enter button still isn't working. Well Utah is beautiful, just surrounded by mountains and I couldn't ask for more. I can't wait to go on some hikes up the mountains on PDay's. I love temples man they are just interesting, like in regares to the style of them I guess. I'm gonna start a collection of pictures of Temples, I think 5x7. My all time favorite is San Deigo, it looks like a space ship. Already bought that picture. As for my district things are going alot better, everyone is getting closer. There was a few struggles between some kids last week but it seems like we are working things out. I like Elder Way more and more every day. He may be a little hard in lessons because I have to do all the talking and keep is on track but man he's a funny kid. Every week you right a letter to the Branch President just discussing your goals and whats up. We have to pick a Christ like attribute to work towards for the week so I picked to be more humble because I see how lucky I really am compared to some of these kids. So I talked about that forever in my letter to him. Well this Sunday during sacrement the talks were on humility. Well I thought ohh crap I know I'm gonna be asked to give the talk. Every week they pick two people to talk for 5 minutes. So he got up there and said Elder Pizzey and some Sis. Missionairy will be giving our two talks this week on humilty, Elder Pizzey your up first. FREAK! Well I went up there and talked for a solid five minutes about humility, and I think it went pretty good. I was a little nervous so I'm sure you could tell through my voice but as for what I had to say and my testimony it was pretty good. 4 MIN LEFT! I'll try to sum up what I said quickly here. Our whole life we try to be the best at what we are, wether its school, basketball, or whatever. The problem with humility is when you strive to become more humbble you just focus on yourself. Think about it. Like what can I do to become more humble. I'll be nicer, I'll be more thankful. It goes on and on. But all you think about is I, I, I, I and yourself. So to become more humble we must have the Charity of Christ in us, and look at everyone as a Child of God. Look interally not externally. Ok 2 MIN! Went on to say you cant change anyone but yourself. Not wife, companion, parents, daughter or sister. And it all starts with giving your heart to God and he will give you a new one. I refered to Alma 5 and how it talks about that I believe OK I MUST GO I WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO SHARE WHAT I EXACTAlY SAID!!!!!! love yoU ALLLLL TAKE CARE
