Please note I only get 30 minutes a week on the e-mail client, and this is the only day I get to use it. Any information that is needed to be gotten to me promptly (like my imunization records!I still need all the dates for both my MMR and my Hepatitis!) would be best sent via the dearelder.com service. It is free as long as I'm in the MTC, and anyone can use it.
I'm rather upset that you did not respond to my first e-mail. I sincerely hope it did not end up in the trash. I did not get a mail undeliverable, so I asume you received it.
I'm well enough, and I think I'm finaly progressing in spanish. I'm also sleeping much better now. The beds are quite comfortable (although I still use 3 pillows) and when I'm under my blue fuzzy I feel quite at home. We recently received a new fridge, however, (mi companera tiene diabetes) and it makes many strange noises.
For the first time in my life, I find myself realy enjoying gym, although I will never be able to play four square well. (it's all the rage, here... which makes me giggle.)
The food here is too rich, and I'm taking in extra calories @ breakfast, a meal I'm not acustomed to eating. I've put on a few pounds (not nearly as much as most of the elders,) and I'm gassy all the time.
Hna. glazer should be leaving next week, and she is thrilled. her companion already left, while she had to stay behind to resolve some health issues. if she has not relapsed, she wil be able to leave.
They are paranoid about swine flu here, and as contagious as it's reputed to be, I'm not too suprised. (I could see the whole MTC laid up in a week or two with the flu... bleach.) Because of this, there is not to be any hand shaking or hugging. You can tell that the older generations here are familiar with the notion of epidemic flu (they are qute adamant) but the sisters can't stop hugging, especialy whenever someone leaves. there are purell dispensers everywhere, which is amusing. (Oh my... I am easily amused, aren't I?)
We go to the temple today. I am happy.
Please let me know how you all are doing. perhaps writing letters to Maren would be a good FHE activity?
Sincerely yours:
Hermana Maren Michelle Jones.
