update

So Hermana Drussel left the MTC this morning and boarded a plane to Las Vegas. We got to talk to her for a few minutes while she was at the airport. She almost missed her bus this morning. No surprise there. She claims that she was packed and ready last night, but we all know that she was probably up 'til two or three in the morning packing. anyways she is doing awesome and loves what she is doing.


another whit story


I don't know what it is with me and the emails at the MTC but yet again I had my email completely erased. THIS time however was for a different reason. So I had typed out such a great lovely spiritual email and then towards the end an Elder in my district told me that he could sign me up for my new email since I hadn't done it yet. I told him it's alright I'll just do it later, and then he said it's ok I'm done I'll just do it so he logged into my account and basically....a message popped up on his screen that he was logged into two computers at the same time and you are being "dishonest and disobediant" and then it came up on my screen as I had 4 minutes left to wrap up and send it, and then it kicked me out and completely took away the rest of my 4 minutes and when I went to try to log back in and copy what I had typed...nope negative. It was a complete and utter big brother movement. I was chasticed by the computer, and It felt terrible haha not only was I disobediant but I was dishonest too....Ohh geeze that was funny. I had to go to the office and they gave me my time back. The reason it said that...which had no crossed my mind for a second was that many missionaries have shared their email time or given it to other missionaries who didn't get to write enough or whatever...which is dishonest because its more than 30 minutes...but still I was completely chasticed..the lady at the front desk laughed and gave me my time back. Thats 2 times I didn't get to send my email. This time I actually got time back, the 1st week I just didn't want to retype everything all out.
I will try to retype what I had said. I started off before with my temple experience. We got every pday and it's the highlight of me week. Its so relaxing and is such a high! I was on that high still all the way up til the email incident. haha but really It's so amazing. We did sealings today, and that was my first time...soooooo awesome. As missionaries we can only participate as children and I really enjoyed that because it was fun. I could really feel the bonds that were being made today. We literally have countless, and I mean countless blessings poured upon us if we are living worthly. Heavenly Father LITERALLY wants to give you EVERYTHING he has, I'm still having a hard time comprehending that, but I do know that he will, I have seen it so much already in my life.

whit update

So sorry it has taken so long to update you on hermana drussel, but we could not remember the password. Sorry................anyways I took some of the classic whit stories from her letters home so here you go:

Week 2 at the MTC:
> So we were teaching some Elders in our district and I was telling them how much God loves us and that we are all brothers and sisters and I went onto to emphasize it by saying my companion's my sister and you are my brothers...however. Mind you, I have NEVER mixed these words up before but I said "Ella es mi hija, y usted es mi hijo, and yet again I said y usted is mi hijo," so 3 times.... I'm sure you all know what that says, basically no one bothered to correct my after the first time I called someone my child and when it got to Elder Tello and I said it sooooo sincere and really meant it "y usted es mi hijo" that they all lost it and I could not figure out why they were laughing...and then once I did I was just going to keep on trucking however my companion was dying and then I lost it and ending up crying...yet again from laughing so hard....we eventually pullled it together and finished strong but it was mostly because of how much I meant it when I said it. I just wanted to tell him he was my son ok, I had some important information to share, and I thought during a lesson was the best way haha.
