TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you just love days where you can find out you can email that isn't on a P Day? Me too!  Not much has happened from last Thursday and today.  Two of our Hermanas left this morning to Tennessee (the same mission as Colin!). 

Something happened to my watch last week.  It just stopped.  I don't know if it was because it died or something else, but I am sending it to you tonight, and I hope you can take it to where you bought it and get it fixed.  Good thing I brought a back up watch!  I am also sending my SD card, with pictures from the first two months of my mission, so be on the look out for that too.  And I used my SWEET new stationary! 

Last night we had an AWESOME Devotional by Richard I. Heaton, the Administrative Director of the Provo MTC.  It's funny because he was our first Devotional speaker when we arrived in the MTC and now he will be our last.  He talked about being a prayerful missionary and that how we need to be praying all the time for the Spirit and giving thanks to God for what he has blessed us with.  Recently, I don't know why, but I have been feeling that we pray a whole lot on a mission.  We pray during class, before we go teach, before each study we do, etc.  After I heard that talk from Brother Heaton, I realized how absurd my thinking was.  I am really glad I heard that talk before I got into the field.  It will definitely change how I do things in the mission. 

I talked with someone from the Travel Office the other day, and he said, depending on when all the missionaries for the flight gets there, we will leave sometime between 5 and 5:30.  I am hoping for earlier.  He also said the drive from here to SLC is about an hour.  So, what I am hoping is that we will get there around 6:30 to 7 and go through Security and all that fun stuff and then I will be able to call!  YAY!  I am so excited!  I don't know how much time I will have to talk, but I am still super excited! 

I talked with the girl from the Bookstore again, because she went back home for Christmas Break, and she said it was 80 degrees there! OMJ!  And the Elder in my zone from Mission Viejo said his parents told him, last week, that it was 80-90 every day! OMJ! OMJ! OMJ!  This is going to be my last snow for quite some time :)  I am so excited to get to Cali! 

I am super excited to finally start teaching real people the Gospel.  Being in the MTC has been a lot of fun; I have gained so many good experiences that I could have never gained from not going on a mission.  I can speak so much more Spanish than I if I would have just taken it for school.  But, the reason I can do that is because I am doing it for other people, so I can teach them.  Spanish is going to be such a blessing in my life, after my mission, but right now, if I focus on the people, I can learn so much more.  I am here to serve the Lord in whatever way he needs, and I will do it for the next two years, without hesitation.  The Gospel has blessed me so much in life, and I want to share that happiness the people in Carlsbad. 

I can't wait to hear from you tomorrow!  I love and miss you! 

Love, Elder Hunt
