E-mail to family

I GOT TO GO OFF CAMPUS YESTERDAY FOR TWO WHOLE HOURS!!!! It was so exciting to see something other than the MTC, it did feel a little weird being in a vehicle for the first time in 6 weeks though!! Let me respond to your letters before I talk about my life. I am sending my black shoes home sometime soon, just sell them, and send me my black sketchers... that will be fine!! I got a one sentence e-mail from Lewis, but I can't respond. I'm excited about Leslie and Ashley, I already knew about Leslie before my mission though I just wasn't sure if it was public knowledge, but I guess it is now!! Ashley wrote me and I'm so excited for her... and mom I agree with you about Ben ;) I sent home a package of pics and a tape for you all to listen to, and a little surprise for mom :) oh and a letter for Ambrian! I find out next Friday when I get to leave this place... we like to call that Friday flight plan Friday!!! I can't wait!! But as far as I know it will prob be that Mon the 20th! But I have no idea!! Oh I just found out it takes 4 weeks to get letters to Argentina, so if you want you can start sending me letters there now!! I will send you an e-mail later with my address on it!! But still write me here at the MTC!! I loved almost talking to you too... I wouldn't have been able to talk to you even if I had wanted to break the rules because the people here don't let missionaries break rules!! OH MY GOSH THE NEWS ABOUT ADRIAN MADE ME SOOOOO HAPPY!! I seriously am so happy!! Please keep me updated on all the missionary work in the Ward, have the sisters had an baptisms lately? When I left they had a few lined up... I want to hear all about it, because I feel like I'm not doing anything here... all I do is sit around and think I'm learning Spanish until someone actually talks to me in Spanish!! I've been very busy here but it is good, being busy helps the time fly by faster... I can't wait because I only have 3 weeks left here!! I pray that the time will go by fast!! I'm not sure if I've talked much about my friend Hermana Strasser, if not you will get to know her real well on the tape I sent home. She was like my best friend here, in fact I know i would have hated the MTC without her here... well, she just left for the field yesterday, it was really hard to say goodbye to her!! But I will see her in 18 months, if not sooner (she is in Buenos Aires South)!! I really don't think I have much to say in this letter, sorry if this letter is lame, everything is good here, I love my new glasses they are so cute! I hope you enjoy my package of letters!! And please continue to keep me updated!! (I'm going to check my e-mail later today cause I think i will have time!!) Love ya lots!!

P.S. I know the church is true :)




Alright so I only have 4 min left to send off e-mails, and i totally forgot my address, so I will send it to you snail mail... sorry!! also I was hoping you could try your very very hardest to get the sisters' address, and also more importantly Adrian's address, I really want to write him and congratulate him on getting the priesthood... I'm so excited for him about that!! I'm just so happy today because of that news!! I'm sorry this weeks letter is so lame and devoid of spiritual experiences, maybe I will write a snail mail letter to go along with my address to make up for my lame-o letter this week!! I got a lot of fun letters from random people i didn't expect this week!! I got a letter from Ashley Day, Barb, and Becky I was so happy cause i was wanting to hear an update from Ashley and I got a letter from her that day, and then I wanted to hear from Barb so bad, and I got a letter from her that day... so I was really happy!! Please keep reminding people about dearelder.com and how much I love getting letters, and good news!! I absolutely love letter time!!! Thanks so much for everything you do, I love you and miss you, but don't worry I will get to talk to ya'll in 3 weeks... so be ready!!!

Love ya,

Hermana Gosnell
