Season 1 Episode 1 Fried Elongated Fish Paste and a Spooky Landing

Since the pilot episodes are pretty much over.

So this email will be a little more brief as I am writing in Boston and haven't arrived at Halifax. Our flight will be 6:35 so in like 2 hours man is time seriously warped in my head right now it's like I left before the sun got up and then when we got here the sun was going down! Our travel group consisting of myself Elder Hicks and Madsen and sisters Heggie Keller and Mavy with myself as the travel leader (I really didn't do anything). But we got all checked in and baggage checked and tickets gotten. Then we had a few hours to kill before the flight and then 4 more hours on the plane. Which I used to study the new testament and i got through 20 chapters! It's really neat how Jesus taught and healed people. Most of the time he has compassion towards them and heals them or they ask. And i understand the parables that he gives a little bit more so that's sweet! I find certain wording of versus intriguing esp. With the Joseph Smith translations so if you don't have anything  to do...

Anyway the flight was fun especially the landing it was definitely the roughest landing I've ever experienced and it was soooooooo funnnnn! My stomach dropped (like roller coaster tummy tickles) probably like 5 times in the last 10 minutes and then it was a slanted bouncy landing going really fast. That woke me up haha. As of now we are just chilling waiting for our plane in Boston Massachusetts and will probably get something to eat here soon. I can't wait to see my mission president and my companion trainer! But that will probably be known to you guys next week unfortunately. But we shall see! In other news I'm like the only missionary with one large baggage case and then the carry on case and my side bag. The other missionaries have like 2 full large ones and a carry one and a side bag so hopefully I didn't miss anything haha. I'll add some pictures to this email so y'all can see what I see. In other news that I just got now is that our mission in merging with the Canada Montreal mission so we will have 3 times the missionaries and speaking mandarin, French and Spanish so I may get a reassignment to speak another language! Which I'm totally down to! 

But as for my last week in the MTC it really was awesome except the last day but I'll bet to that. Overall the experiences I've had really matured me as a person and spirit and it's something that the other newer missionaries told us. They said that we just looked way older like 20-22 and when we told them how old we were (18-19) they were like "what not way" that makes no since. So that's an answer to one of my prayers was to notice my growth and testimony of this true gospel. But as for the last day nothing was really bad about it expect that dinner was fish sticks. Now some of you may be like "what? that's not bad" but fish sticks are a sin and should never exist. Just have mozzarella sticks or chickens strips. Not fried fish paste that's been elongated. So I just had myself like 40 saltines and 2 bowls of cereal. So far no side effects so I think I may be onto something. Love you all and can't wait to share more especially about my mission!
