(Here is Kelsey’s email to Alex first:)
ALEX!
How are you doing? I hope you are doing great. So I finally got my call! Are you ready? Take a deep breath. I have been called to serve in the Texas Fort Worth mission, teaching in the Spanish language. YEAH!! Isn’t that cool? You may now call me Hermana (that means “sister” in Spanish). 🙂 I’m going into the MTC in February , so I’ll probably see Andrew, because he is going at the end of March, but I’ll be there longer because I am learning a language. I’m so stoked. The church is definitely true. There is no doubt about it. We had a good lesson today in mission prep. We were learning about latter day prophets and scriptures to use to teach people about how we have them now. After class I talked outside with Whitney (who is going to Tahiti and learning Tahitian and French) and Shalyse (who is going to Ecuador and learning Spanish) for like an hour, just talking about mission stuff. It was really fun to talk to some other girls that are doing the same things as me, because there aren’t that many. Then I went to the family ward, and announced where I am going on my mission in sacrament meeting, so that anyone who hadn’t already heard (there weren’t very many) would know where I was going. Then I went to my ward. I was the only person in temple prep that wasn’t a teacher for the class, so Justin (who was teaching; he served in Texas too, but in McAllen) was basically just having a talk with me about the first lesson in the temple prep book (about the Plan of Salvation). It was really neat. Then I announced where I am going again in my ward, and bore my testimony. We had a really nice Christmas program by my ward choir, and then the relief society president asked me if I would teach the lesson next Sunday. I’m terrified, but I told her I would do it. So I’ve had a pretty busy/exhausting day. I’ve been up since four thirty this morning, so I’m pretty tired. Anyway, I better go. Love you lots. Be good. Love, your big sister, Hermana Kelsey
Kelsey,
HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is freakin Lakker!!! i’m so glad you are learning a new language i’m working on my Zulu but its really hard. so Elder Brown in my mtc group lives just outside the boundries of your misson so he might see you the last two monthes on mission. but ya i’m so happy for you i’m actually crying in this internet cafe its kinda awkward anyway. so you will love the temple its is such an amazing experiance and i hope all your preparations go well and you will be out here in no time. oh ya and start practicing recipes right now otherwise you will be eating crumy food like me. and don’t worry about the lessons that will be easy, you know the doctrine just teach it. anyway i’m running low on time. Love you tons keep strong and i’ll see you in no time!!!!
Love Elder Flexy
