Day 16

Only 23 months left! ;)  Today was one of the most relaxed days here yet! We woke up at 6:15 and showered and got back in our P.J.'s and headed to the laundry room!   I was so glad to do laundry because some of my clothes really started to stink!  I got my laundry done and headed to email you guys!  (Sorry for not emailing you Dad!  I actually planned on telling you to continue to send your letters.  They are truly inspirational!) I'm so glad Mom was on so we could talk back and forth to each other!  I love being able to talk in  a different form then letters! Please continue to send Dear Elders and letters because I love hearing from you guys! We had a ton of down time today so I thought about you guys a ton! There is so much I truly miss of you guys because I don't get to be around you guys anymore.  I'm so glad they allow us to write and email because I couldn't do this without it. Talking to you guys and writing you letters gets me through each day.  I pondered a lot on my farewell talk too and how much my testimony has grown. I miss my friends but I know they will be great while I am away from them.  Wyatt emailed me today and it was good being able to share some experiences  I have been having here with him.  He didn't say much about Cedar so I'm guessing not much has changed. (I'm Glad). I also  thought a lot about my experiences waiting for me in the DR because Elijah got to email me also.  It was so good hearing from him! I miss him and my talks about what we need to expect like in May. I thought of a bunch of stupid bad stuff that could happen to me and it made me concerned about why I was worried about such stupid stuff. (robbed at gun point, Dengue fever, other stupid sickness') I thought it was stupid to worry because that just adds to the experience right? ;)
I worry a lot about something happening down there then I remember, I have a family at home who I didn't hug enough when I left so I'll be soooo protected! I am actually enjoying myself here but I cant wait to leave! I love and miss you guys so much! I hope all is well back home. Please continue to send letters! I love you all!
