Did you enjoy Thanksgiving?
--Yes. Thanksgiving was very nice. We had Elder Holland come and he answered questions that the missionaries asked. They were pretty awesome. Some of them were about things like divorce, foreordination and other cool things. We had a sack dinner but a Thanksgiving lunch. It was pretty neat.
Did you get the pie dad and I sent? Did it taste good?
--YES!!! Thank you so much! I was going to send a letter to you thanking you but I didnt have time until about Saturday and so I figured I might as well write you an email thanking you since it would probably get there the same time.
Did you get a new companion or what have they done with you?
--I didn't necessarily get a new companion. I'm just now in a threesome with Elder Boehmer and Elder Tapusoa. But now Tapusoa is in quarantine so now our District is Me, Elder Boehmer and Sister Loveland....awkward.
Did you get the message about the shirts and backpack? Did the trade go okay? I have heard nothing and need to know this for sure.
Do the shirts fit now?
--Yeah, the shirts fit.
Will the shoulder bag work?
--The shoulderbag is awesome.
Did you get to hear the game? Did you get to find a window somewhere to see the score or was that a no no?
--I could hear the game. I couldn't tell what was happening. Only when we got a first down. But as I'm sure you can guess, I had some sources. There's one teacher for the Cantonese missionaries that really likes me so he checked up on the score for me. 26-23 (OT)! That's so awesome! Brian told me about what Max Hall said. I agree. 100%. Although there are some Ute fans that I like. There's one on my floor three doors down. We both wore our team colors to gym. He's way cool. He came in when he found out the score, gave me a hug, and said, "Your Cougars are dead next year" and walked out. He's way cool.
During the game, did you hear me yell to you that I love you ? Yeah, I thought you did.
--I heard you. And did you hear me yell back?
In a nutshell, things are going great. I've been meaning to ask you for some time but can you send me Jessica Goold's apartment number? I have the building address and everything but it got sent back because it didnt have her apt. #.
Can you also see if Jenny got my letter? I sent her one and never got one back. I'm starting to wonder if the mail service lost some of my letters. I sent one to Brian, Cierra, Grandma, Jessica Taylor (the one in Temecula) and Tyelar and haven't gotten a response from any of them except Brian. I was really worried about it when Brian said he didnt get a letter from me when I knew I sent one.
Can you please have Jenny or ben check to see if those people got my letters? They can just message them on Facebook.
If anyone asks what I want for Christmas, just tell them that cash would be excellent. I dont have any money to spend for myself in the Philippines and the exchange to Pesos is going to suck through Wells Fargo. I hear their exchange rate is pretty gay. So cash all around. Although, I would like some more garments. I have 6 pairs of Dri-Lux. So I think another 6 would be great. I wear LARGE round neck tops, and Large Short bottoms. Thank you so much!
I love you all.
Brandon
