Mail Bag!

I received another letter yesterday! She wrote it on Thanksgiving day. Here's the gist of it:

They had a pretty much traditional Thanksgiving dinner. She didn't know that they had yams and green bean casserole until after she had already left the cafeteria. She was really disappointed...NOT. She did get some pumpkin pie though, and she was pretty happy about that.

Thanksgiving day started with a continental breakfast. From there they met the rest of their district in their classroom and then headed over to get seats for a devotional at 9:30 am. She was pretty excited because they got seats just 8 to 10 rows back from the front. The speaker was Elder Richard G. Scott, from the Quorum of the 12 Apostles! Michelle was very excited to be able to listen to him.

The speaker they had Thanksgiving evening was John Bytheway. Michelle said he was Awesome!

Last Sunday the speaker for all the Sister Missionaries was Sister Bonnie D. Parkin the Relief Society General President for the church. These are just some of the great speakers that Michelle has been able to listen to in the short time she has been there. She rattled off several other prominent speakers that she really enjoyed seeing as well. She was also looking forward to a humanitarian aid speaker this last week also.

What exciting times! Michelle has thoroughly enjoyed her time in the MTC.
