Email from Katee 12/23/2010

Family!
Oh my goodness today is a great day because it is P day! In a way I love P day because I get to email you but in another way there is a lot of spare time and I just like to stay busy! It makes things so much easier! I am doing so good! I love the MTC but I can't wait to get to Washington! Only a week and a half left. So I will be leaving on the third! I was so happy. My flight leaves at 8:26 in the morning so if I get to call you it will probably be anytime between six and eight in the morning. But if I don't call don't worry! I am just fine. I just want to keep all of the rules and they haven't told us yet if we get to. So that is exciting! Also, there are twelve people in my district. Me and my two comps and then the rest elders. They are all so great. The elders love talking to me about the Jazz and they tease me because I always get so much mail! Ha i love mail!!!!! Thank you for your letters... Mom, Dad, Kels, Brenna, Brooke, Courteney, Oma, Carol, Laura, and Mer! I am so thankful for them, please keep writing!
Courteney, I pinky promise :) and I will write you soon. Kels thanks for takin care of my Brenna for me. I love her and miss you and all of you so much. Okay mom I think I forgot the pencil Grandma gave me and I really need it! If possible can you send that and some neosporn? Sorry to be a hasle! Also can you call Mike's office and tell me the date of when I had my MMR 2 shot? Oh and I never called the lady about sub teaching so maybe you could as Marilyn to do that? ha sorry. Sorry I can't send a tape yet. I just don't have enought time! Its crazy how busy we are but I love it!!!! Brooke, Courteney, and Brenna I love the SMURF pics! Please keep them coming!!
So my companions are good. Sister Howard will serve in the Marshal Islands, I'm so grateful for English haha they don't teach the language that she needs to learn here so she will just be thrown into it. Sister Soelberg will serve in Tacoma with me. Oh also there will be 20 missionaries traveling with me... and guess who they made the travel leader??!!!! Thats right me! Ah ha. I don't know what it is, they must think I'm responsible or something haha. The lemon heads you sent me have saved my life. Its hard to stay awake in class sometimes. I dosed off in personal study this morning ha i had to get some water and candy. Thank you so much for the package! I am so spoiled. And i can't wait til saturday to open the gifts. And i think i may need a copy of my driving record for washington... how do i go about doing that? Hope michelle coon woolley i love the socks you sent thank you so much!

Family and friends i know that this church is true, and that colton and i are doing the right thing! I pray for you everyday and i worry about you but i know that we will all make it and through our savior anything is possible. My comps have some quarks that i am trying to get used too. I am not touchy feely and sis. howard is! Ah. haha they run late as well and it drives me nuts but i know that i need to humble myself and be better. Also sorry if this is sent to just mom. I don't know what email i am sending it too. but it is for everybody! I love you all so much and I hope that this Saturday especially with our situation that we can remember the true meaning of Christmas and think about our savior and the atonement! I love you more than you will ever know.
Love, Katee
