08.25.2014 - Short but Sweet

I’ve been telling you this whole time that e-mailing on Sunday would be a good idea, but I’m glad that you finally decided to do it. :) My week has been good! We are still running our air conditioner too! ;) 

The member we ate breakfast with (we eat with them every Monday) looked up the weather where we were all from and he said it was 56 degrees this morning in Lacey so you are right, I will definitely be cold for a while when I get home. Your anniversary sounds like it was good. Did Dad enjoy the car museum. Where is it? In Tacoma? What part of California are Becca and Aaron going too? Is it their 7th anniversary? That’s crazy.
                
Travel plans…yes to meeting up at the mission office Tuesday morning. As for the Phoenix open house…I’m pretty sure you can just go online and get tickets. They aren’t available until the 29th of September. And if it’s anything like the Gilbert open house, you can still go even if you don’t have a ticket. Whether we come home Friday or Saturday doesn’t really matter. Non-stop on Friday would be fine. Then just ask President Coppin which day would be best/easiest to release me. L Any way all of the family can be at home for that weekend?? J Tell Dad I got the gift cards to Panda Express, Chipotle, and Menchies that came in the package Jenn sent, but I haven’t gotten anything else. If it’s something different, it should come this week.
                
 This week was good. There isn’t really a ton to say. The highlight was definitely Elder Robbins. We had a meeting with him on Saturday morning. It was our MLC and Tempe’s MLC….side note: I’m glad I ended up in the Gilbert mission. :) He was amazing and he answered a lot of the questions I have been having lately. I took about 6 pages of notes. I can’t wait to be able to really tell you all the stuff he taught us. But basically, always take 100% responsibility!
                 
Things are good and I am happy and trying to work my hardest. I love it here and the closer it comes the less I want to leave and the less real it seems. One of the missionaries who was serving from our ward just got home this week and gave his homecoming talk. So weird.
                
I hope all is well with you. I love you! Moroni 8:3
