Sept. 9th 2013 email

Bonjou!!!!!

I hope everybody is doing well. I've just got a short email today, but here goes. :)

First, I love my bramnch [presidency. They have so many amazing stories. The second council worked in Hollywood doing makle up for actors. I guess he was favored by Robert Redford, and did his m,ake-up for a lot of his films. Bro. Liddiard knew well enough to call him "Bob." haha

I got to host new missionaries this week. That was fun, but sort of depressing watching them all say goodbye to their families. They'll love it soon. :)

I love teaching in Creole. It's a very visual language. It paints some amazing pictures of the gospel.

Also found out that the 5 of us serving our missions in Ft. Lauderdale in the Creole District are leaving a week later than the rest of our district. So, I'll be off on the plane on the 24th. And I love My district! I wish we didn;'t have to go all over the place and all 17 of us could go to Ft. Lauderdale together.

had a great experipence with 2 Nep. 7 this week. It's an Isaiah Chapter, but I learned a ton from it. The scriptures are such a blessing.

Love everybody and hope you're doing well. :)

Part of Elder Felkins email to the family:

For auditions you have to have the song memorized if you're singing. you go in on Thursday morning and sing for Sis. Nally and Sis. Hacking who are the wives of the MTC presidents. Sis Nally is ver very very musical and she gives you feedback and helps you with the song if you need it. She also plays the piano really well. She didn;t tell me too much at my audition, jsut to be careful not to push the high notes, but i already knew I needed to fix rthat. Then she tells you if you are a know or a yes, and if you are a yes, you';ll get a letter in the mail a couple of days (for me 1 day) before you perform telling you all the details of what event they will have you perform at, mic check, and all that jazz. It kind of suprised me how quickly they had me sing after my audition, I just got a letter and off I went. haha.

Elder Burgoyne does not sing. He loves basketball and hates vegitables more than anyone I've met in my entire life. All vegetables. He's actually quite the opposite of me as far as personalities go. It's amazing we get along, but we do really well. Haha. he's really negative and and always sees life as a glass half empty, but he loves that about himself. You know me too, Mr. positivity. he's very strong willed, especially about getting to dinner on time, where I'm much more patient. And it's never his fault, nior his companions. It ios always the fault of workers, or the investigators, or the people in line before us. he doesn't like to talk to people he doesn;t know, so I can be really embarasing for him. haha. oh well.

All of our room is going to Ft. Lauderdale.
