December 13, 2013 - My Last MTC P-Day!!!!

Honestly, it's a little weird because they told us the majority of the people leaving the mtc get their ticket for either Monday or Tuesday, but mostly Monday. I'm district leader, and I went to get our notices from the mail, and my whole district is leaving Sunday morning. I swear it was like Christmas that day and I was Santa Claus. "Hey, Buckwalter, are they here yet? Have you checked the mail? where's our travel plans!? Hey Buckwalter!"

and I checked and I checked and finally they came and they said Sunday!!??

We report to the travel office with all our luggage at 2a.m.

We then ride a bus to the Salt Lake airport around 6

I lose my companion as he flies to Denver (haha sucker...)

I go strait to San Fransisco. (so basically half our district for some reason has to go to Denver and then to San Francisco  while I and a few others go strait to San Fransisco and have like 3 hours to chill and maybe get some pass-along-cards out)

After I see my companion again, and the rest of my district, we all get on a flight to Korea. I'll be in Korea like Monday morning I think... Remember time changes

TIME TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE!!!!!   Yes!

Anyway,

My singing last week went great! We have pictures. We all had matching scarves and we sang a capella carols. There was legit Christmas food and staff and it was incredible. Jenny Oaks Baker was also there and accompanied us on a song. She was on the other side of the gym also entertaining. It was way way awesome! We made a lot of people happy and the shrimp was incredible.

Ya that's right, I sang with Jenny Oaks Baker.

anyway. (to some family who care anyway)

Umm, today was our last service project for the mtc. We clean a chapel early early in the morning every Friday. As we clean, there's always this weird old lady who wakes up early to practice on the organ. It's really strange and kind of funny. Every week, we're just cleaning out trash and toilets and she's just sitting in the dim-lit chapel playing quiet hymns. It's kind of awkward and awesome. So today, whether she knew it or not, we got a picture with her playing behind us. :) haha. It's super funny. I'm going to miss that Grandma.

I don't know, just all of us in gloves with our cleaners and this random lady playing hymns behind us.

super awesome! :D

So I love you all. I'm a bit nervous and scared. I just hope that I can use the spirit effectively and do some real work. gah! okay.

yep thank you all! :D
