April 14,2010 email last from MTC.

April 14th.
Okay so I'm already down to 20 min because it wouldn’t load but was still taking my time, aggravating, but it's okay. Can't do anything and gotta practice my speed typing.
Busniess:
I leave the MTC at 8:00 and take off from the airport at 12:00 on MONDAY the 19th. Nobody should come to the airport, they suggest it not to happen. I get to Atlanta at 5:50 and leave there at 8:30 . I WILL BE CALLING YOU MY LOVELY MOTHER AND FATHER!!! So that is Georgia time and.... I think 3:00 Alaska time... I can call the house or the school... or both if you and dad aren’t together. Prob no more calling by 8:00 GA time. In your dearelder you can plan it. GA is 3 hours different then AK right? That's how I’m doing my math, if wrong then let me know and we'll plan accordingly :-) . I can't wait to talk to you both, it'll be so great!
. Don't bother mailing anything anymore, cause I leave Monday and won’t get things in time prob. Of course DEAR ELDER works till Sat. afternoon. I would love it if my siblings would dearelder.com me these next couple days, any last thoughts or what they’re up to or anything. I love you all so much!!! Friends too.

So this is my LAST EMAIL from the MTC!!!! How exciting!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to Argentina BABY!!!!! VIVE ARGENTINA!!!! I do feel very excited and eager and nervous, but ready, for the most part. I love the MTC and the people I've met and spent time with and I'm so grateful for all the help I've gotten here, and practice and learning and growing!!!! Wow it's amazing, what a unique experience I have!!! My Spanish.... It is as ready as it will be. I have learned this week about my weaknesses and what I need to work on with it. The thing is that I can't express ME, MY PERSONALITY very well yet, and that's hard. But I have total faith that it will come, but faith without works is dead, so I have a lot of studying and praying and listening and everything to do, but it will come. I've been told to be more confident, a couple times. It's been such a wonderful week. Possibly the best yet. because we, as a district and a companionship have made goals to work extra extra hard in everything, NO SLACKING!!!! Because the same spirit you leave the MTC with is the same spirit you enter the mission field with, just like when we die.! Interesting huh. But true! I wish I could expand on this but my time is slim, I'll talk more with you on the phone :-) . I'm hoping I get a native of Argentina as my first companion, then it will be crunch and growing time, It would be great. I have felt deeper love for the people of Argentina these last days and I know I'm going to meet and teach people that I knew before this life and promised them that I would find them. I can't wait.

Last night at the devo Elder Glenn Pace talked and it was so amazing and special, and sacred. They didn't record it because he talked about personal things. It was ALL about God's love for us and his children, all his children, even with our weaknesses! He said remove ANY doubt that you are not loved as much as Jesus Christ is loved by God, wow!!! There was a lot more, he shared dying experiences of different types, I can't go into it right now. But afterwards we had a little District review and it was so spiritual and the elders testified so strongly, it was really special, my love and understanding and reassurance that I'm serving a mission for the right reason was confirmed to me. Because I love God and his children and mostly because he loves me and the Atonement is REAL and for EVERYONE!!!! Wow I'm grateful for H.F. and EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so blessed with you as my parents and my siblings and friends. I have nothing to be mad about in this life.
Do you have any Tithing experiences you could share with me, we're teaching it this Friday in Spanish. share! Anything else let me know! I love you so much everyone! I 'm excited for this next step in my journey MUCHO AMOR!!!!!! H. Graham

  1. If anyone has time in the next two days send Davita a letter at www.dearelder.com . It is free and they print at noon and deliver that day. Works great for me. Dianne
