[We got this email earlier in the day than we are used to. I was quite surprised and wondered if there was something wrong. However as I read the email I realized that Calvin's schedule has changed a little, so he was able to email earlier in the day. I'm not editing this for spelling, grammar, or punctuation.]
To my dear family
How are you all doing? Every thing is going just great here. The weather has been rediculously nice here, but I wish some rain would come and cool things off, and put out these feild fires that are occouring all over the place. The smoke is so bad you can barely see the mountains some days.
Now to answering questions, the shorts are AWESOME and I thank you guys sooooooooooooooooooo much, and I hope that wasn't a big hassle to procure those for me. They fit me well, except when I do leg presses. yes mom, you can call me by the name I was born with, but if you wanted to call me Frodo that would be ok too, i guess. Yes there is an MTC choir,but I went for my first meeting this past sunday, and no one ewas there. VERY MAD!!!!!!!!!!! oh welll, there's always the one that's later today. I'm glad to hear that so much is going well with your book, I hope it really takes off. When you upseat JK Rowling, please share your spoils with me!! Let's see.................. Well our investigators are coming along well ( the fake ones that are really our teachers). Some of the most powerful expiriences come when we teach them, and I hope the rest of my mi9ssion has tons more lessons to teach. It's hard to imagine that I'm only halfway through my MTC stay, It feels like I should be leaving a lot sooner, but I am also super glad that I have this remaining time to prepare. What else.. Oh yeah, the temple is closed for the rest of my time at the MTC, and we have to help go and clean it, which will be pretty cool, but I'm really bummed that I can't go to the temple. [This is why his schedule changed.] Temple time or more free time to play instruments and draw and write letters? Temple time, I think, is what I would choose. Thwe temple actually opens the day AFTER our last P-day!!!!!! GRRRR!
Well, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think I'm actually getting a bit worse at my French. I've been very blessed so far, it's just that all these tenses drive me absolutely bannanas! Being really sleepy doesn't help at all either, but I'm pulling through it ok.
Oh, I heard Colorado is on fire, are Aunt Becky and Uncle Wes and the cousins ok?
umm............. no idea what else to talk about.
Oh, today I was studying, because everyone was actually being quiet for a change, and I was rteading the first chapter in Isaiah, and I understood a lot of it. I might not be looking hard enough into it, but it was pretty cool. I don't know what else to tell you all, thing here go pretty much the same every day. We get up, eat breakfast, try to study, until one of us brings up an interesting conversation, then classes, gym, more fooling, I mean studying, then planning, and then personal time at the apartment.
I love you all, and think about you lots, but not too much.
I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You brother, son, exc.
Calvin Messinger
[Yes, he really does sign all his letters "Calvin Messinger." Even the letters to his own family! Like we wouldn't know who he is.]
