November 11 Letter

Oh my word there is just not enough time in the day! I would have more, but I had to e-mail Carly really quick!
I got a package from Uncle Van and Aunt Vanessa yesterday! Thank you so so SO much! That Flan was the best I've ever tasted and the apple cake...oh I just can't handle it! Mom, if you could let them know I got it and tell them thank you that would be so rad!
So...where's this amazing package I keep hearing about that will have pictures of my adorable new nephew and my new camera card? I was thinking I'll just send my old camera card to you when I get the new one and you can do what you will with the pictures. Yes...that's better than the hassle you go through when trying to print them off here. It takes a couple days!
Anyway, I can't even begin to tell you the things that I have learned within the past 3 weeks (holy cow I've been here for that long??). The spirit is DEFINITELY guiding me and as Dr. Jackson said on Thursday, "The Lord's blessing you girl!" I can feel those blessings. I try to be obedient and not fall asleep in class and study all I can. I'm kidding, I don't fall asleep in class. Though it's EXTREMELY hard not to because even though they give you 8 hours of sleep, they don't take into account that their beds are rock hard and their pillows aren't very soft so it might take you a little while to fall asleep. Mom, Hermana Jesperson and this other sister have their pillows from home. I really want you to send me mine. I don't know if you have sent the package yet, but if not, find a bigger box cuz I really really want it! If it's inconvenient don't worry about it. I'm getting along okay...I just wake up with bags under my eyes and sleepy face. :)
So how is the baby? Carly tried to send me a picture on here, but for security purposes they don't let us download the pictures. I'm almost done with the tape I'm making for you so I'll send that before thanksgiving. I'm gonna go now, but I have five minutes so I'll check my e-mail again before the end of the day! Thank you for your prayers! I love you so much! Have a good week!
