how was the funeral? was it a very busy week? did you give everyone my love? are you back in chicago again?
here it has been the sameish. I have had many questions (surprise) and everytime we go to the temple we have to ask the temple recorder or someone from the temple presidency to answer them. They are always very nice and take the ten minutes or so to answer my questions (and sometimes elder riska too haha) i am searching/studying the scriptures too dont worry. i am reading the BoM straight through like i said but i find myself sucked into the topical guide and bible dictionary and randomly learning a lot from those.... (ironically i used to hate them- no search bar to be found there...haha)
also there was an amazing devotional on sunday where we got to watch clips of scientest talking about space! it was like the history channel thing that i watched... and about how this location for the earth is perfect scientifically and how modern science is starting to believe the suns energy doesnt come from the core (too long to explain why in an email with 6 mins left- btw i went back to this part... avoid confusion)and that it comes from solar currents (saw taht on the history channel too) but abraham esp fascimile (huge sp) talk about energy coming from Kolab.... and historians talking about Nahom- 1 nephi 16.34 and how modern archiology (big sp) ETC needless to say IT WAS PERFECT FOR ME... not for my investigators... huge testimony builder (yes i know im werid like that...)
ok some random business stuff:
-if its not too much of a trouble to buy the medicine- my eyes are very dry but im managing but if you think that it will be hard to buy them without the insurance i dunno as of now it would be pretty sweet to have non desert like eyes hahaha (how much does it cost though?) maybe get deoderant again while on the insurance... i think im like 2/3 of the way through...
-please send my book thing that people wrote in already- the brown one.... i want to use it as a "missionary year book" for when i leave here and have my friends write in it...
-i have like 12 pills left i think....
-i am going to send home stuff soon that i dont have room for/wont use in LA... i dunno... def i send home my planner so you can see what my day to day is like....
THANKS! love you!
kenzie-
did you get my letter wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!? i sent it without a return address by accident... i realized it didnt have it just as it slid down that blue slide to oblivion... except not because i have seen them take out the letters from the mailbox that is literally 4 times as big as a normal one... kind of intimidating
cole-
hey! how are you doing? how is school? senior year working you to death like all your other years...? i have to VERY random questions well one is random and one is not... how do real organs work? do they just have giant fan type things that blow constantly and then the keys open the pipes and the sound/air rushes through... seems kind of ineffiecient to have a bunch of giant fans.... hmmm but alas no google or wikipedia and im afraid that is one of the questions that cant be answered in the standardworks.... haha also can you send me a copy joseph smith proof thing from EFY? i went to a devotional where he talked about Nahom... very cool... i want to use it for myself (not to convert- it would probably confuse/start a big arguement...) THANKS! and i love you! prepare now for a mission! STUDY the scriptures! study Preach My Gospel! memorize the first vision! get a STRONG testimony! and know how to rely on the Lord and pray specifically....
WELL I LOVE EVERYONE SO MUCH!
ps please tell the browns i will respond next week, i need to go to a different lab (than the comps in laundry room) to print it out... unless they can forward to dearelder like the whittles did (through you it looks like...) i dunno... but yeah i only have 30 mins here which puts a damper on everything..
