Still hangin' at the MTC

So I haven't heard anything else about my going anywhere yet. I'm still doing pretty good here and i still like the new district I'm with. There's actually a few people who understand my humor so that's good. Sorry about my e-mail not coming til Friday last week. I accidental sent it to the wrong address but a nice man let me forward it. So according to what Elder Perry said I'm going to be out of here by the end of the week? That's cool. It makes me wonder if I accomplished what Heavenly Father wanted me to while I was here. I don't think the only reason I have been delayed is to protect me, but if that's the main reason than He still would have given me an important lesson in the time I was here. One thing I learned is submissiveness and patience go hand in hand. I thing I was a pretty patient person before coming here, but I lacked trust and being submissive enough to serve well. So if nothing else I've learned a lesson on that. My branch president said he thought a reason might be so i could help to new dutch out. I don't know if I've done them a lot of good but i think i was able to help them out with the language. I hope at least I've been a positive example. I don't really know what to say about this week. It's pretty much the same as the last. It looks like I won't be able to do the proselyting thing with the Provo missionaries, but that's alright I'll be out for real in a few days. .. I think right? How much Dutch does grandpa Frank know? will I be able to talk to him in it when i get home? that would be cool. well this will be pretty short but don't worry because I'll be able to talk to you with my face rather than my fingers soon right? So you did mean by the end of this week right? because Mom you left off an important word on the e mail you were telling me about that in. OK thanks for keeping my mail box occupied.
I love you and appreciate you more everyday!
