Another Letter from Joe

Hey Family,

Another week has flown by here in the MTC. It's really great. I've really appreciated all of your letters and packages that you've sent me in the past week. They're really helpful.

I'm glad to hear of all the miracles happening at home. I totally forgot about those immunizations and I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I got my last shot the first day I got here and I paid for it then so no need to worry about that. It's also good to know that the missionary spirit is going so well in the stake. When we open our mouths the lord fills in the words and the spirit can take over. Keep it up!

It's great to hear about the family loving each other so much and all of the fun walks that are happening. The weather here is great as well ;) I can't believe how nice it is. Today after coming out of the temple we just felt that springtime warmth that we've been missing so much. Hopefully you can spend a lot more time out there than I have been able to.

Holly
Thanks for your wonderful letters! I love them so much! I'm glad to know that school is going well for you. I forget that this is such a big time for both you and Jeremiah switching schools. I would definitely recommend either doing band or choir. You'll meet a lot of neat people in those classes. I know that tests can be kind of hard sometimes, but you just have to endure through them. Make sure you have something fun planned afterwards so you have something to look forward to. I also have a testimony of prayer as you do. Without prayer I think I would have lost everything I own by now. I've found so many things right after I've prayed.

Jeremiah
Thanks for that awesome comic. I showed it to my district and they laughed as well. That's way cool about Marquette. I know nothing might come of it now, but you are definitely being a great example to him as we have seen recently. I think taking german would be a wonderful experience. When I get home we can speak german together with Jonathan, eh? Stefan is amazing and you'll love him if you decide to take it. How are the shirts doing? Which one do you like the most? You can totally take my room. Have fun with it. Don't be too discouraged with the temple. I had the same experience with my first couple of times. Just try to bend your knees and you'll do fine.

Jono
Everything's fine. Don't worry about it. I took a lot of your advice as I've been the district leader. I really appreaciate all that you've done for me. I hope everything goes well with the classes and work. Let me know of any updates!

Thanks again for that wonderful package. The acne stuff is great and the tie helps as well. The MTC is kind of weird. The only ending point we can see right now is leaving the MTC. I sometimes keep forgetting that I actually have 2 years of living in Germany I get to do!

I love you all!
