Week Four - mostly edited for spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Hello Messinger Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry that the letters I send home get home so late. I send them on the same day I email you, so the mail is really slow. First, the questions. No mom, I am not feeling forgotten, nor am I homesick, I just was being literal. [Calvin had addressed his last written letter to "Messinger Family - 1" so I asked him if he was feeling left out or homesick or forgotten.] Yes, the law of gravity is repealed for missionaries. I thought you knew that! *wink [A lot of photos Calvin sent from the MTC were sideways, so I tongue-in-cheek asked him if the law of gravity was repealed for missionaries. I asked him if the ice cream they serve at the MTC is from the BYU Creamery - which has FANTASTIC ice cream!] Actually, the ice cream here is just like the ice cream everywhere else, and the food is like the food we get served at school, or that you used to serve at girls camp. Yes, most of the sacrament meeting is done in French.

  Let's see... this sunday was MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! the last few days, the MTC had been gearing up for the Mission president training meeting, so a bunch of the General Authorities were here, so everyone was freaking out that maybe an apostle would be in their meetings. Well, there werent any, and the only people who saw the General Authorities were a select elite group of singers who sang for them in a private concert. So the lines for the food, and to get into the devotionals have been SUPER long all for nothing. It was a really spiritual sunday anyways, in fact, one of the best I have ever experienced.

  Alors, Je ne pense pas j'ai besoins maitenant. Le carte ils nous donne pour le MTC avaient 6 dollars sur il pour nous, so, I buy new pens and such supplies as i need with it, the six dollars actually rolls over each week, je pense. Yes, my french isn't perfect, nor is my spelling, what do you expect? I have actually started a small collection of the church posters, since I've seen some of those paintings in person. I've got Abinadai, Mormon giving his son the plates, and Moroni abridging the plates. Anyways, things are going well here. I'm probably eating too much junk food, but each week we get more and more. That's one of the weird things about this place, we all get so much food from our parents that we each try to give most of our food away. Anyways time's almost up,

I love you all, and I'll send more letters!!!!!!!!!!!
