General Conference was pretty great. I'm definitely not used to having to be in church dress and sit in uncomfortable chairs for every single session, but I liked it. My district and I went early so we could get some cushy chairs, and we all brought candy and snacks and stuff and just shared the entire time, so it was good. It'd be hard for me to pick a favorite talk, but I really liked Elder Uchtdorf's and Elder Holland's. Also Elder Dube's, and some other ones but I can't remember who they're by. One was on teaching in the Sunday Afternoon session and I really liked that one too. All of them were great!
Well, thank you for all the
packages!!! Haha, I loved them! A package a day was definitely the best way to
end my MTC stay, haha, so thank you. And so far I've been able to fit
everything in. :) I have pretty much everything packed, I just have to get all my
bathroom stuff together in the morning, and then just weigh them and make sure,
but I'm almost positive they'll be good. I'll weigh them tonight to be sure,
then I don't have to worry in the morning. We're reporting to the Travel Office
at 6 am now instead of 7:30 because we're taking the Frontrunner to the airport,
instead of whatever else we would have taken, so it's a little bit earlier, but
should be fine. I'll just sleep on the way to the airport.
This week's been good though! It
seems like a lot more has happened than has actually happened just because it's
been so busy with getting ready to leave. We had In-Field Orientation Thursday
and that was good. It was really long, and lots and lots of sitting, but it was
good. It was a lot about how to find/contact people and how to work with the members,
so I'm excited to go out and start doing that. It was also fun because 2 guys
from the Distrct were the teachers, so that was fun. That's about it for In-Field Orientation, haha, just a lot of information, but it was fun.
We hosted again Wednesday and that
was super fun. Especially since I got to tell people I was leaving in less than
a week, haha, that was fun. I hosted 4 girls, one going to Korea so that was
exciting. We had a District Departing Devotional Friday morning (which is where one
of the first pictures from this morning is from) and that was good. We just
went around and shared the biggest thing we learning in the MTC and then just
talked a lot about packing and traveling and everything. The actual MTC
Departing Devotional was last night with the MTC Presidency and that was good.
Oh, and
Vocal Point came, so that was fun! They're an acapella singing group from BYU, and it was really fun.

Well, that's about it :) My
companions and I are meeting up with Sister Bready tonight at 6 before class to
just talk about Taiwan and she's gonna bring some pictures and stuff, so
that'll be fun. I'm gonna miss my teachers a lot. But yeah, I guess I'll just
talk to you tomorrow! I'll call you first chance I get in the airport.
I love you!
