NYC for Spring Break

Hello Michael!


It was so good to talk to you this week. I'm glad your teaching opportunities are picking up, and the Ping Pong night sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Spring in Boston is going to be beautiful. Hopefully this long winter is almost over! We came home from New York to cold and snow. Boo. But my tulips are peeking up, so that makes me happy.

I missed my latter last week because of our trip, so this week I’m just going to share some of the pictures from the places we visited. We sure missed having you on this trip!

Hello my dear! Well, besides the food, it sounds like you had a really amazing week last week. Having all of the mission presidents and apostles there must have been such a neat experience. I’m sure it was a very powerful feeling being in their presence. How cool that you were able to be there and pass the sacrament. I’m sure that’s something you will always remember. I want to hear more about speaking Mandarin with Elder Gong and his wife. You didn’t get to speak to him directly did you? Perhaps he just came to speak directly with all of the mandarin language missionaries? I’m glad you are back to playing basketball, but sorry all of your OG friends are gone now. I’m guessing you are starting to feel like a true MTC veteran watching all your friends come and go. My friend Allison Jensen said you saw her daughter Elizabeth and she was surprised the two of you would recognize each other. She flies out the day after you. I can’t believe you are in your final stretch! Are you super excite

Hey Ty— I hope you have had a great week. Was this the week of the mission leader seminar with all of the general authorities? Was it great? Did you get to serve them the sacrament? Jett wants to know! Is it over and do you have access to the gym again? Ok clarification—That headline about the mother and the snake—it kept popping up at the bottom of other news stories I was reading. Because I’ve been googling and taking about and thinking about snakes a lot lately. And our phones are listening to us and basically can read our minds now, so they advertise to us what they think we want to see. But I DO NOT want to see headlines about snakes eating mothers. Anyway. I went back and read the article. And it really happened. A (human) mother lining in Indonesia went missing. They found an enormous snake, cut it open, and pulled her dead body out—clothing and all. Horrifying.  I saw another picture of a ridiculous snake today. This time it was not in our yard thank goodness. But it was in Mal

Last Week at the MTC!

Hey there— I’ve been thinking about you all week. I’m hoping you have enjoyed your last week in the MTC and have soaked up every last bit of edification and inspiration from your devotionals and musical numbers. What a life-changing opportunity this has been for you! Never again in your life will you have the time and ability to devote all your energies to gospel study and service. So make the most of it! I know you have. I’m so proud of you and the effort you have put in to becoming a strong missionary, and I know you will make a difference in those you teach, serve with, and in your own life. Is tomorrow the day you fly out? You must be so excited! And maybe nervous? I’m guessing you have mixed emotions about leaving the MTC, but mostly you are ready to begin the next phase of your mission. It’s going to be great, and I can't wait to hear about the new adventures coming your way!  ***If at all possible—please sent a quick message when you board your flight, and again when you lan
