7/15/11 Pizza and travel plans!

We made a Rice Krispie pizza and sent it to Elder Bowen this week!

This week has been crazy.  Good crazy.  I got the pizza I think on Monday.  Everyone thought that it was funny.  One of the Elders in my room loves the pizza, he especially thanks you for it.  I cant really remember anything crazy happening on Tuesday, but we had devotional and a review and it was pretty good over all.  Oh also that day one of our teacher was bearing his testimony and he started choking up mid sentence, and Bam the spirit hit us all like a train, it was an awesome experience to be there at that moment.  We have done a lot of practicing this week in helping Investigators do the things they need to do to feel and understand what the spirit is when we are with them and what to do when we are not with them.  Then Miercoles came around.  It was great, we got out of class early so we could be trained to host.  Then we were the first in the cafeteria so no line, y they had quizas the best food since I've gotten here, plus helado.  Then we got to host.  That was cool in of it self.  Only 320 missionaries came in this week so I only hosted 2 missionaries but it was cool.  The first one was from Reno and going to Denver Colorado, and the other was from Mexico going to Orem.  They were both pretty cool Elders and seemed excited to start their mission.  I was sort of able to remember that first day and how crazy it was when I was talking to them.  Then yesterday came.  Jueves is always a long day for us because we have 3 hours of class, lunch, 1 hour of TRC and 2 hours of Class all in a row.  We didn't get the mail we expected either at lunch.  But then Elder Reese and I decided we needed to go and laminate our Predicad Mi Evangelios before we leave so we went to do that, and since Elder Reese is the DL now, we decided to check the mail again.  In there was our TRAVEL PLANS!!!  It was Soooo awesome.  Everything seemed so real finally.  We often forget that we are leaving so getting that slip of paper verified that we actually are leaving. We don't have much time to call but I should be able to call a little bit.  The other 5 Elders and Hermanas in our Zone leave later but arrive sooner than us and don't have any kind of lay over.  We are pretty excited about our plans over all though.  So we are super excited to be heading out finally.  They assign travel leaders by last name, so I'm the travel leader so hopefully nothing goes wrong haha.  Super crazy that we are almost on our last week now.  I got a letter from Ryan yesterday as well.  I wrote him back and told him to tell me what car he will be coming in so I can chase him down when he gets here and host him.  What car will Collette Joost be coming in so I can see her.  If anyone else reads this they should tell me what car and what time they get here.  Hosting is a pretty lax thing so I should be able to see whoever tells me what they are coming in.  I saw Elder John Fry on Wednesday, he was like one of the first people coming so that was pretty cool. I hope Kelly had fun in Volleyball camp and I hope you had fun with all the visitors you have had this week.  Tell me if I forgot anything I have a little more time left for later.  I love you all.  Se que el Evangelio es verdadero and el Libr de Mormon es las palabras de Dios.  Se que mi mission es que Dios quiera.
