Dearest Family,
We're just under like 30 hours from me seeing you. Weird.
So yesterday I had my final interview with President Ellsworth. It was nice. Weird. Freaky. He told me things like I'm gonna have to learn to balance family/school/work/social/church and that overall I will be battling against the great and spacious building. stupid building. But he told me that the way to combat the great and spacious building is to hold to the rod and make sure that I am reading my scriptures and that I keep the habits I've learned on the mission. I feel slightly overwhelmed.
Last Monday I told you that I pulled out my suitcases. I think then I was subconsciously pretending I was coming home. It wasn't until President was talking to me that I was like "Oh yeah, I'm going home." And then I continued to pretend and will probably continue to pretend until I actually get home and released. Hahaha... Call it a blessing or a curse. President also talked about being the right person to find the right person to marry. I am definately pretending for now that that is not the next step in my life. I'm dreading dating. Gross... But while I'm on the topic, can Lynz got to YSA activites if she's my transportation?
Let's see... President also talked about my homecoming talk. He said that there are 3 kinds of homecoming talks- funny, "this is my experience", and spiritual. He told me to stay away from the first two and to stick to the spiritual. He said that my talk should be one that anyone who is trying to decide to go on a mission should walk away from sacrament thinking "I am so going on a mission!". So. That's that.
Then President gave me this super cool binder with lots of info. I'll show you when I get home.
Have I mentioned that I hate packing? It's not even the packing part of it though. It's the weighing. I have two suitcases. And they are right on verge of going over 50 lbs. And that's assuming that the scale is accurate. I'm not so sure. But I'm praying they won't be over. I've repacked them like 3 times. *sigh*. I guess I'll figure it out later when they weigh them at the mission home.
So the plan is that I head to the mission home at 3pm today. We have a departure dinner and then a testimony meeting. And then the sisters stay the night at a bishop's house. And the elders go somewhere else. Then I head out early tomorrow morning. And see you at 4ish! I have so much fun stuff to show you! Don't worry. I'm not bringing a cactus home. I am carrying my coat with me on the plane though since I'm sure I'm gonna die in the cold there.
Mom, so Sister Shelley, the lady you've been emailing is the cutest EVER! She reminds me of you SO MUCH. She has two kids out right now and when I told her that either she could take me to scottsdale, or I could get a ride with some other sisters, she was like "No! I want to!" It's cool though because she gets to see both ends of the stick. She knows what it's like to send a missionary off to the MTC and home She said she's gonna cry. Lol. I love her. She was so excited when you emailed her back and she was like "Your mom and I are email buddies now. I love it!". Can't wait to give you hugs. I'm gonna cry. I can just see it. Oh, And I'm SO PROUD of you for doing indexing! SO PROUD!
Lynz, I want to see Beauty and the Beast 3D! That would be fun! It's a good slightly babylonian movie that I can watch when I get home. ;-P Let's ween me back into the world. I don't have any money though.
Just for the record, Duncan and I have a snuggley napping date. I've been driving my companion nuts by talking about him. Lol. It just makes me happy! I didn't tell president that I was willing to go on dates with my dog... Hahaha
Dad, I need egg rolls. Not necessarily tomorrow, but soon. I miss their yumminess. And I can't wait to give you the biggest hug EVER. It's been what? 2 years?
Brothers and sisters-in-law. I plan to call you sometime this week. Just sayin'.
Ok. I should go. I love you. I'll just have to share my tesimony when I get home. Love you!
Me
