Week Two

Well, officially completed week two at the MTC. I managed to send him a package with the help of Grandpa A and Aunt Karen. Been so long since I was a missionary that I didn't realize you couldn't just drop off packages, so Karen, the seasoned pro, steered me in the right direction. Well actually Grandpa had drove to Utah for Thanksgiving and staying with Karen, she made sure the package got to the right place. Thank you!!

I did hear from Jacob today, he was very happy to get a package with lots of treats and baking. Always nice to have a touch of home when you are away. I made some chocolate chip cookies and some cinnamon buns along with Doritos, Canadian Dry Ginger ale, gum and a few other goodies. We also each wrote a note for him, which he was grateful for.

So they had Thanksgiving last Thursday. President Uchtdorf spoke to the missionaries about gratitude. Jacob said he gave a great talk about how we should be thankful for not only the blessings but for the trials and thank murmuring is the same as being ungrateful. Which is an important message for all! Pres. Uchtorf is a fabulous speaker and I am sure it was in incredible talk.

I need to bug Jacob to send me a photo or two of him and his companion or district...maybe next week! Mum
