Happy July 4th!!

choay kajoke! how goes it! it sounds like you've had some really busy times up in canada! steph and trav are such a cute lil couple. but did any of yall go horseback riding?!?! dad tell me you rode the white horse ;) banff is great ay?! o and thanks for the shirt fus! i loved it i put it on today and my canadian companion thought that it was awesome! anyways, i wish i could've gone but there are sooooo many things i have to learn in the next 4 weeks before i go to korea, it's unreal. sometimes i feel like i haven't learned anything but then the lord always finds a way to pick me up and say "look here ya big brown bum, you can say.........(lots of korean)...... so stop being discouraged and work twice as hard!" ha i love when i get that feeeling like i just wanna learn a bajillion times more, and i need to because my days are number, ahhhhh!!! anyways, i loved your emails, if you could maybe just send them as dear elders so that i don't have to use to much of this computer time reading them. im trying to be as obedient as possible. o and fus, the best way to get in n' out into the mtc.....would have to be through christ dever, give it to him and he can drop it off in my room he said. my rooom is building 14M 4th floor and room 409. my bed is the closest to the door on the bottom bunk. ;) ok so now i can tell you alll the great things that have happened this week. well, where to start.... o yeah i totally got to say a prayer in front of 10 apostles! i don't say that in a prideful way but because it was such a blessing from the lord and president brown ( maybe send him a thank you card please, i will too) when i walked up i looked into the eyes of bednar, holland, nielsen, oaks, christopherson and some others but i can't remember. i'll send you a little copy of my journal entry, it's kinda spiritual so i hope you like it. welll also the next day i got to take care of our 26 new missionaries that came into the mtc. it was soo weird because now we are the older district.....we leave so soooon!!! ha i try to help them all by being a good example. in fact i was reading in helaman the other day and it had some great scriptures of being like your dad and i was like i hope i am being like my dad! i was reading about the story of nephi and lehi (the son of helaman....who is the son of helaman or something like that) and wow i wanna serve with the power they had! i could totally like convert all of asia if i were like them. What else.... oh we totally had to move buildings, kinda a pain but kinda fun because we get have a new change of scenery but our old building is turning into a all girls building. our new building is actually still under construction, haha we couldn't even shower on our floor after our workout today, and the showers in this new building have seperaters between them that go up to my shoulder....so everyone thought that i was just the biggest creeper in the shower ever hahaha but they need to get over themselves, because i aint peekin! hahaha we had an awesome experience teaching a lady that is a member that was converted six years ago in korea, we had an overview of the whole restoration that was 40 minutes and at the end all of us bore testimony and she did too, and she started to cry and i was on the verge of tears but don't worry i kept my composure but it was such a spiritual experience. it really made me so excited to go to korea and start pickin up all those lil panda bears and love them! i love hearing bronson's letters, it's weird to think that he gets home so soon. mother when he gets home then i guess you'll finally know the church is true and that mission work isn't too shabby! dad i meet so many poly's that are "cousins" i tell them that i'll ask you if you know any of their parents but i forgot them alll ooooops. but just know i have so many cousins in here it's awesome! sad that the temple is closed till right before i go. P-day just isn't the same without the spirit of the temple and the oppportunity to remember covenants and help those on the other side make them. Yall better book it to the temple one of these days!... but not provo.... hmm what else ummmmmm idk, ha i've almost finished all of the food in that huge costco box, i just eat like a crazy man! my teachers call me the "food bank" so thanks :):) I'm so excited for the 4th! i got picked to be in this flag bearing cermony then our new residence is the furthest one in the mtc so we get a good view of the stadium. So i tell my districts "can't wait to hear the beach boys and see a little firework action!"  well i love you all sooooo much, and because of yall i can feel the lord blessing me! love the packages, and letters :) fly high like a goose! o boden gets in this week and i can't wait to see that luggg haha when does coventry enter? BYE!
