Sexy Flexy Elder Man,
Howzit!! It was so fun to talk to you yesterday and see you. It's seems like it's been so long. I'm proud to be your big sister, and to see how you've grown and matured in the gospel. I was telling Brother and Sister Clifford and Brother Simon about talking to you on Skype, and they wanted to know how you were doing. They also said to tell you hi. So today was a really great day. I went to mission prep and we talked about the pride cycle and the dispensations. The pride cycle is when in the scriptures there always seems to be righteous people, but then they become prideful because they are too blessed. Then they have trials and tribulations. They are humbled and repent, and become righteous again, and then it starts all over. It happens all throughout the Book of Mormon, over and over again. Then the dispensations you can remember by saying Adam enjoys nuts and many Christmas sweets (Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Christ, Smith). They each had their own time when the gospel and the priesthood were on the earth. It was pretty neat. Then I went to the family ward and listened to Colter speak. He did a really good job. Then I went to my ward where I taught the lesson in relief society, and in my sacrament meeting two of the sister missionaries that are going to be leaving soon spoke (Whitney and Shalyse ). Shalyse is leaving not this Wednesday but the next, and Whitney is leaving the week after that. It's so exciting, but kind of sad because I am going to be the only sister missionary in mission prep. :( It's okay though. Anyway, I hope things are going great for you. Have a good week, and be good. Love you a lot. Love, Kelsey :D
