I cant really think of anything specific i want to say but maybe telling you about my week will help me think of some things i wanted to tell you. So last Saturday my permanent retainer broke while eating lunch, i could feel it wiggling around inside my mouth. So on Monday i went to the MTC clinic and they got me an appointment with A local Ortho-dontist, and figured out they were sending me to doctor Christensen. Which is the same Orthodontist that all of us got braces at, so i was excited to see everyone there. we rode the shuttle there, then the glued my retainer back on, but while it was broken my front 2 teeth split a little bit, so they glued it on without pushing my 2 front teeth together, and so i have a little gap between my two teeth which is kinda bugging me. So maybe ill go back and see if they can fix it, or just not worry about it. WHat do you think mom?? This week has gone by super duper fast, it feels like yesterday i was writing you all, so i dont really know what to say. Today our whole district got to go to the temple, which was a great experience cuz i havent got to go in a few weeks, and i got to go with all the guys which made it an even better experience. Being in the temple helped me to think through a couple questions i had about how the spirit works, and how you feel it. Thanks for all the packages you have been sending mom, they have been really helpful, im thinking i want another pair of jeans but i dont know how to describe which ones i want. and i dont even know how well they fit cuz i havent worn them forever. So ill try to figure that out. I got a cold this week from my roommate Elder Alvey, he has the flu but i just have the cold so far. Me and Elder Alvey have been Temporary Companions for the last couple days, so that we dont get anyone else sick and so that we can stay in the room, and both our original companions can go to class. ive been sick since tuesday, i got a blessing and some medicine from the pharmacy so hopefully it will go away soon. We had to go acrossed the street to urgent care for Elder Alvey, so make sure he didnt have any other sickness besides the FLU. I had to miss a few classes yesterday and the day before, so me and Elder Alvey just studied and Rested in our Room. Ive been having alot of fun playing Basketball and Volleyball this week, the 40 minutes we get to play never seems like enough time to play. But oh well there are more important things that need to happen in the MTC. I have had a lot of teaching practice this week, im getting better at it. Ive been studying the spirit a lot this week, and the promise we have that if we have the spirit, it will tell us what to say, in the very second that we need it. I just need to build my faith that on this promise, cuz i get nervous before my lessons, but they always end up going well during the lesson. and i feel like the lessons go good. time is flying by here in the mtc, its been 10 days here already, and i only have 10 days before i fly to hawaii. My plane flys out of SLC on tuesday aug 21 in the afternoon. I dont feel like im prepared enough. i have 1 more P-day, and 1 more letter to home, and then ill be in the mission field. So with ethan moving into my room, im fine with that, im just wondering did he pack all my stuff into boxes or what did he do?? Cuz i know that my room was stuffed full of random stuff, that ethan probley wouldnt use or want. Its awesome that annie finally found a job, i knew she would, im super proud of you annie!
Mom, Brother Maes needs a missionary scripture for my placque, so im gonna have to go with the scripture D&C 4:1-4. or if thats too long just 2-3. you cant go wrong with that scripture.
Thanks everyone for writing back to me, i was able to read through them all but im out of time so i wont be able to write back. Thanks for all your love and support Family, keep me in your prayers, and ill keep you all in mine.
Love Elder Durocher
