Wow, this week has flown by to me I have so much to say to you all.

First things first, there were some new thai Elders coming in and they're all living on our floor.. so come to find out one of them that is living right by us

is Lizzy hullinger/gillies husbands little brother. I guess him, Hunter Crandall, and Hullinger have hung out a few times when Hunter has been there, he says

idk how you ever put up with those too they are so crazy! ha ha. It was really funny talking to him about them and the Hullingers I really miss those guys

they are all so funny and loving especially Sonnet.. so anyway that was the first crazy thing. The second is that I went to the temple today and come to find out Kelseys dad works there. It was awesome talking to him, I told him to keep Hunter in line and to tell everyone hi!

So tonight is the 50th anniversary of the MTC and the Prophet is coming. It is so exciting because it's really rare for the prophet to come to the MTC and talk.. so we are all super excited. We are waiting in line for 2 hrs so we can get in because they have invited 700 guests to come so not many missionaries will get to be in the same room as the prophet.. one thing that I love the most about my letters is from Grandma and Grandpa Hunt, they make me laugh everytime and put a smile on my face when I get them they are so encouraging and supportive to me.. I love Grandpa's letters it looks like he takes allot of time and thought into them with his funny drawings and everything.. it sounds like everyone is staying busy out there, I love hearing from Shawn and Mandy and the kids they are awesome. I am doing great Owen, Trevor, Paige. Spencer and Ethan, I can't wait for you to get out on a mission and experience all the wonderful things it brings to you.. you will love it and always remember it. I am loving my mission, best decision I have ever made!!

I'm so gratful for my mom she never gives up and always keeps going she has had a few stressful weeks in a row from what she told me. I'm so grateful for her sacrifice to send her son on a mission and to have him grow up and be a man! thanks mom i love you..

dad im so grateful for you.. your letters always encourage me, and tell me to suck it up, and keep going and we all love you I'm grateful for your letters.. all my district says thank you for the treats they say to me to tell you they love you haha..I gave my teacher a pack of those birthday Oreos and he fell in love.... he ate them all in one hour he said ha ha.. he is also a diabetic so I take some treats into class cause he gets low blood sugar somtimes in class so I help him with his sugar levels ha ha..

My brother on the other hand must be the to busy to write me anymore havn't heard from him in a while.. but I hear he is tearing it up in church ball haha, keep it up oh and by the way you don't need to listen to your coach just check yourself back in whenever you want bro... ha ha

I miss Dunn doggs so bad ha ha but most of all I think I miss little Kyle he is so cute and I love him to death. The Dunns christmas card is hanging up and I love looking at that little red headed kid and his cute smile ha ha I miss him saying telby.... I miss garrett and Nate they will be so big when I get home... they are so sweet.. I got little Ally's letter with her hand print and Sydney's hand print on it, sounds like they're best friends ha ha it was so so cute...

Oh markel, I met your friend she seems like a nut and really energetic.. i haven't got the chance to get a picture with her but I will for you Markel.. Anyways I have been doing good and am so excited to get to the field. I wanna get out of the MTC, but only a couple weeks left.. I'm intended to leave the 22 of February mom but it might change cause my teacher said that my missions transfers are a week late so it might not be until the 28th or so, idk yet but for now its the 22nd, so I will let you know if anything changes. So me and my district figured it out..... it was allot of math......but, all of the spiritual growth we receive on our mission is equivalent to 72 years if you didn't serve a mission!! I know that I'm in the right place and doing the right thing. Heavenly Father will bless all of us forever and ever... a great scripture that I love to share is Mosiah 2:22 for all we have to do is keep God's comandments and he will bless us beyond what we can imagine, all we have to do is love thy God and thy neighbor, and the other comandments.

Any way gotta run family! Have a good week!!

Sin tsis dua (goodbye)

Love always,

Elder Crandall
