Well.. In less than one week I will be out of the MTC, on my way halfway around the world to Russia, to speak a new language, and preach the Gospel! Wow! Things have flown by and changed so fast! I can't even believe how fast time and life moves out here! I swear just last week I was sitting in Ms. Brown's math class figuring out how solve a ruby aka Rubiks Cube.
Speaking of.. thank you for the package fam! You know I love my Cheez its and my Rubiks Cubes! Elder Brown and I are having fun with the Santa hats and all the stuff that you sent us! (All the stuff that you gave me more than one of I gave to him) Sorry but we are not aloud the wear bracelets so I can't wear the Livestrong one. But I will keep it and give it to someone in Russia :) oh and I keep forgetting to tell you that we are also not aloud to chew gum... haha so sorry! I will probably chew it when I get to Russia tho...
Well I got my flight plan finally and I sent a copy of it to you did you get it yet? I also left a not on the copy about money and contact solution... I leave Monday. I think I get to call you sometime that morning pretty early.. I am guessing around 7? I don't know when tho.. then I fly to New York and then to Moscow! I think that I get to call you in every airport that I land in so I will get to call you a few times. And then I will get to call you a few days later on Christmas! So you will be hearing a lot from me very soon.. I can't wait to talk to you all!!
Have grandma and grandpa been getting my letters that I am sending to the house?
Well Elder Brown and I were finally released as Zone Leaders :) so now we have less responsibility and only have to worry about packing and and getting ready! It's been great here :) this last week is going to fly by. Well I used the tape recorder you sent me today.. They tape did not last very long but I used it and am going to send it sometime this week when I get time.
My Russian speaking abilities are starting to plateau so it is good that I am leaving soon so that it can just rocket back up! Things are going to be great in Russia.. I just can't wait to get to work out there and be able to talk to the people!
Oh ya.. another thing.. I found a better way to send packages so that it is cheap.. at least for me to send packages out of the MTC. So, I am going to be getting a big package ready for you of all the stuff that I have and wont need to take to Russia or wont have room for to take to Russia. The MTC takes the package and sends it to POST MART. the address is 2250 N University Pkwy #48 Provo, UT. The phone number is (801) 373-5900. I am going to be sending the package out on Friday so I assume it should be there by Monday. If you drop by this place to pick it up within a few days of them recieving it then it is free. So I figured since Dad is always driving places he could pick it up and stuff. That will just make it cheaper. So.. I send the package to that place, and you come pick it up.. easy eh!
Well how is the Christmas Holiday coming? JJ how is Silver Rush going? How is everything?! How is our family doing, what is the latest and greatest news? Is anyone pregnant yet?!?!
Well there really is not much to talk about :) I am just stretching out to finish up here and get out to the field! If anyone wants anything from Russia just let me know :)
Oh PS if anyone was wondering I haven't lost or gained weight. Some people have been asking about the food and stuff. The food is alright, but I think the MTC is on a two week rotation or something because I have had a lot of the same things.. that's boring. So ya.. I am excited to get to Russia and cook my own food and learn how to cook Russian food! I am basically planning on becoming Russian.. so don't be surprised when I get back!
We had our last temple session today maybe for two years.. that is sad. I really love the temple and have grown to appreciate it so much! It brings so much peace to me after such a busy week, I don't know what I'm going to do in russia! It will be rough!
Well I love you all so much! I am so very gratefull for your love and support and prayers! I feel so lucky to have such an amazing group of family and friends.. you have made me who I am today and have been the best help and examples in my life. I love you so much and could never thank you enough for what you have helped me to overcome...
Have a Merry Christmas! :) It's a great time to read about Jesus Christ and his amazing life and sacrifice! I know that's what I'm doing...
Love,
Elder Weihing
