Here is another letter from Collin! Yeah!First, my companion is named
Elder Greg Barkley. He is
from Florence Oregon. he is
a pretty good guy. he works
hard. and as for the
pictures i am taking pictures,
so dont worry. Next, here are
the names from my district.
10 are going to Dallas and 2
are going to Tuscon. Elder
Alley and Elder Marble
are going to Tuscon and they
are in the room with us.
Elder Alley is from Logan, Utah and Elder Marble is from South Jordan. Elder Thurgood is the funny one. He is from Richfield, Ut. His companion is Elder Krammer and is from Greeley, Co.
Elder Lewis and Elder Walker are both from Pocatello, ID. But they didnt know each other. Elder Lewis actually lived in Wyview last year, not far away from where i lived. Elder Peay is from Las Vegas and Elder Hatch is from Gilbert, AZ. He says he loves Pete's Fish and Chips. Elder Hatfield is from Payson, and he is the oldest at 22. His companion is Elder Stevens from Hyde Park, UT. He likes to dirtbike like me. Thats everyone in the district.
Just to reanswer some other questions, i am leaving September 1st. Thanks for the package. i needed the soap box thing. We heard about the dork dots thing too. 1 guys in our group saved his and went messing around. Thats good that spencer got to go to Legoland with nick and Aunt Mercedes, cause he didnt get to go with me and i know he really wanted to.
i will be out in the field on monday. its only in 5 days. its nuts. We have to be at the travel center by 5:00 in the morning, so my call might be kind of early. As for my ankle. it is doing pretty good. i got an ankle brace and i got to ride around outside the MTC, cause i went to the health center to get Xrays. just in case. Then we had to pick up someone from the UTah regional medical center, so we got to ride down there and got to see the outside world for a bit. Still havent found my retainer, still checking the lost and found. it was the same day i was getting sick and the same day i rolled my ankle, so there was a lot on my mind. we got to go to the Temple today, and that was really cool. We had this huge discussion one day about the fall and whether or not a transgression and a sin were the same thing. we eventually figured it out. We talk about this stuff when we are in the RC and are waiting for people to call in from the numbers off the calling cards. Its pretty fun when you do get them. i actually got one from Texas that i sent the missionaries too. I am pretty excited to get out there, but there is a lot more i need to learn. oh, and i met a sister here that is going to Finland and i told here about Alec and how it is in Finland. she knew where Espoo was, so that was pretty cool. And i met someone from Kari's hometown that knew her and i have met so many people from my BYU ward. I met 2 people in the bookstore that were working there. that was pretty cool.
Well, i love you guys all very much, and i hope that all of you do well in school.
Love you all.
