Emailing back and forth about North Carolina!

7:01 PM (2 hours ago)

Well, it looks like you are moving south in the general direction of Argentina!!  Right?  I am so excited for you!  You will have such a wonderful time down there.  So much of our country's history happened there. Charlotte was actually named after King George of England's wife.

Will you be speaking Spanish?  I cannot wait to hear all the details!  So exciting!  I think Blaine's wife Heather is from there.

We picked up a sleeping bag for you.  It weighs five pounds so you'll be getting it Friday so you can make weight adjustments.

Glad you get to be among the number of those missionaries with actual flight plans.

Also congratulations on your assignment at a Zone leader.  Just a taste of what is waiting for you as you learn and grow.

Love you,

Mom

Yeah North Carolina!! sweet huh. I have no idea on the Spanish so we will cross that bridge when i get there. 

My friend in my zone said that there are tons of black people there. and my new comp lived there. so thats cool.

I cant wait. but that will mean i am going to be calling at like five or six ish. so we will see if you will be up. :)

So Monday morning right?  We'll be up!!  Hey and did you read Blaines email?

Yes they live there.  Marcia Hilton just emailed me back and said she was born in Charlotte!

Man it's a small world right?

I just emailed Marcia and will let you know.  Scott and Terry left tonight for the

deer camp, took the big tent.  Hey and that Huff kid, the one who was going to

go into the MTC next Wednesday?  Anyway, last night he was long boarding

close to his house and he crashed and hit his head.  He ended up in the hospital

today.  So say a prayer for him that he can have a miracle and make it on his
mission.

hey are you there?

i sure am momma
We re so SO SOOO Exctied!
hahaha youre telling me. i ran around for ever. i couldnt even focus.

i have been twitching and smiling ever since

Did everybody in your group get reassigned or did some of them have to stay another week?

no all three of us did. they are going to new york city. like manhattan and have central park and all the cool stuff in their mission

But since you've already been there you get to see another gorgeous part of the country and get
ready because you will FALL in LOVE with those dear people!

And they will fall right in love with you too!  Sounds like your President Craven is a great man.

I'm sure he is very excited to have you on your way!!

ha it will be so fun. i told them to hit up FAO Schwartz

For sure!  Speaking of shopping.  Dad and I went and bought you a sleeping bag
that is good to like 20 degrees and is square on the bottom but rounded on the

top so you can bring it around your head if you need to.  You can take it out of
the box and cram it in your suitcase.  I hope. or just fold it along the bottom of your

suitcase.  Take pictures, this will be interesting.  If it is impossible, mail it back home

I guess and we'll think of plan B.

haha i will for sure. thank you soo much. i cant tell you how grateful i am that i

have my family behind me on this. i have had so many missionaries who are so sad 

that things are bad at home with divorce, siblings going awol or just nonmembers. 

i am so thankful that i dont have to worry about if you are going to church or anything 

like that. so thank you all for being awesome. 

mom youre the best. couldnt do this without you thats for sure. 

Oh Bryce, sniff, sniff....how sweet of you to let me know that.  I will live on

those words for a long long time.  We really are lucky to have such a

sweet family.  All families have challenges but I know for sure we have
avoided many of the problems because Dad and I have tried to follow the

Prophet.  We believe in the promises that the Lord has made to those
who love him.  We love Him, he knows we will follow him and he has
rewarded us with darling obedient Bryce!  We can never repay him.

But we will try by doing our very best.  The Temple is amazing, I'll just
tell you that!  I am bracing for next Tuesday because I had no idea

how much I didn't know!  Love this whole entire gospel.  So thankful
you do too!!
