Hey!
Talking yesterday was soooo awesome! It was a lot different than the
Christmas call. After that one I was like, ´shoot, that's it until
May.´ And I was kinda sad about it. This time it was more like a,
'that was soooo awesome!' And it got me all excited about things.
Haha kinda funny.
So I'm trying to put some pictures up on that shutterfly account.
Hopefully that works.
Dad, the whole move thing is really cool. Don't worry at all, I'm
really excited about it. It was just kinda weird to think about it
all at first. But I think that will be such a cool change (and one
for the better).
Mom, I'm glad it was such a great Mother's Day! Thank you for
everything you do. I love you so much! I look forward to receiving
your letter.
As for the package, sweets would be greatly appreciated. Fruity candy
(like fruity jelley beans, starburst candies, mike and ikes, sour
patch, etc) or anything like that would be great. And chocolate to
freeze would be awesome too. My companion yelled beef jerky when we
were on the phone, so that would be really great too. And yes those
Propel packets were great. Thank you so much.
Haley! You sounded great! I feel like you're so much cooler than I
am, I can't wait to chill with you and see you driving! Haha crazy.
Have fun with all the havoc of May! Don't be so busy next year!
Brock, I miss chilling with you. You're the man. Good luck with
calculus and all that jazz. You and Aubrey sound way happy!
Aubrey, if it isn't obvious how much our family loves you, then I
dunno what you're smokin. It was great to talk to you!
I love you guys.
Having a gringo companion is awesome. Although Elder Lillywhite and I
are very different, it is very easy to get along with him. He's easy
to love.
When we were eating that stomache soup this week I felt sooo bad for
him. He used to be a little overweight (he's lost thirty pounds in
the mission). He is very diligent in working out, which is a huge
help for me. But when we ate that soup, I ate mine as fast as I could
to just get it over with. When I finished, he looked at my bowl and
saw that I was done. His eyes got all big as he looked back at his
bowl. Every time he raised another spoonful, he just stared at it a
few seconds before eating it. He couldn't finish it. I thought he
was gonna ralf, but it was so awful. It was boiling hot and we were
all sweaty and ugh it was an awful experience. But it was a good
bonding experience. Haha gosh.
So yeah, good stuff ahead and I'm almost used to the heat. I love you
all so much. Thank you for everything. Have an awesome week!
Love,
Elder Austin Tyler
