HI FAMMILY!!!!

Disclaimer- Really i cant spell in english and the shift key on this keyboard is broken so i appologize for all the lowercases.....

ya the whole no gluten thing really sucks. Hahaha Last night I got rebellious and had some Pringles.... and by some I mean like half the can and I just feel GLORIOUS now hahaha but Yeah I have a lot of GlutenFree options here so its not bad at ALL jst the lack of flavor is kinda harsh... haha But I did find some fruit snacks in the vending machine that are gluten free so thats fabulous. :D haha Italy will be interesting for that- but I am pretty sure Heavenly Father will just take care of it. I only have so much control of what I have access to sooooooo YOLO.

Also I sent a box home with just some stuff I didnt need and I may or may not send another one. It only cost like $5 to send HOLLA so I will see what else I can spare to loose. They really really really want us to take as little as possible so they said anything we can afford to loose to just leave. They gave us the impression there was like a 60% chance of us loosing our bags- not on the plane but on the train so thats sketchy. joyyyy

I GOT THE PICTURES OF KATE!!!! Well... 6 of them, I dont know how much you sent but I love the ones I have!!!!!!!!!! I have absoulutly NO PICTURES so not I have a couple pictures to prove I really do have a family :D Man she is the most perfect baby I have even seen in my life- but I dont know Grandma says I was a pretty perfect baby so Kate has a lot to live up to. :D I also got the packages!!!!!! I have never read "Missionary Commission" holy cow... intense much??? Hahaha But thank you SO MUCH!!! My district and I attacked that stuff and I doubt ANY of the treats will see the plane hahaha The funny thing is, is that I was goign to ask you guys to send my a coloring book for the plane and then whatdoyaknow????? I get a tinkerbell activity book!!!! Haha My whole District literally thinks I am 12.... I dont know how they figured it out.

BYTHEWAY I met an elder here and he claims the his family has popcorn EVERYNIGHT- so every p-day we wollow in self-pity and have like 8 bags of microwave popcorn. Its really quite pathetic.

 

YAY SAM!!!!!! Thats so sad I am missing his farewell but how fun that everyone can be there for it!!!! I doubt it will be 11- 12:30 cause thats 9:00pm in Italy.... I bet you guys are going to have to wake up HOLY early but thats just a guess. I would assume they have us skype around 5. Lets be honest I have NO IDEA.

The MTC is so much fun! I got to be a host yesterday for new sisters and Elders and I felt so old. Its weird knowing I got a nice 18 hour flight coming next week. But every week we get 600 new missionaries and the MTC is continually swarming with people its so much fun. My district/ zone are already acting like a bunch of Italians, we cant NOT talk with our hands or Not be excited about everything its how I imagine an adult cheerleading team to be. Like during conference the one time they showed a picture a temple, it was of th Rome Temple and our whole district stood up and just cheered- all at once without even thinking- ITS SO FUN! Also Italy only had one original hymn and its kinda a power hymn so we learned it as holy cow do we sing that song. Waywaywaywayway fun.

On sunday we have relief society and they always ask the new sisters to stand and then the sister leaving this week to stand- I FINALLY GET TO STAND AHHHHHHHHHH YOU GUYS I AM MOVING TO ITALY!!!! How cool is missionary work??

Random story: I sleep on the top bunk and my collega sleeps below me  and we have all our suitcases just on the floor next to the bed (they dont fit underneath the bed... whos idea was THAT) so I am climbing down from my super safe and sturdy, moves like jello ladder so I can saftly reach the ground one night, and my collegas suitcase is right at the bottom of the stairs, natuarlly- where else?  so I attempt in my gracfullness to just skip that last step on my so faithful, reliable ladder and juts jump over the suitcase! Good idea right? Well i imagine the room to be much bigger then it is. So I jump off the ladder backwards and my elbow, RIGHT inbetween the funny bone and ... other elbow bone... the closet door just jams right inbetween those as I jump back with all my weight thus bouncing me to the ground hysterically laughing in excruciating pain. -____- This continues for a solid half hour but it hurt so bad that I couldnt stop laughing but I wanted to cry but I couldnt! I had TOTALLY dead arm, literally had no feeling in my left arm till the next morning. You can Imagine the climb BACK UP the ever-so-steady-and-reliable latter -____- Good times.... Good times....

Hopefully in Italy I will have more time to actually write but my time is up even though I still got some great stories, I will try to write them down for next time. Thanks for everyones support- I pray for yall everyday!! Like... 50 times!!!! Literally... we. pray. all. the. time. .... Ok Love you!!!!
