Evan has taken a lot of pictures of the Mountains

His MTC badge

I asked him what it is used for and he said each week he gets $6.00 put on there to buy things he needs.

 Not sure which

 Elder Allen with Elders who were leaving form his zone!

 Don't you like the way he combed his hair here????

I'm leaving on a Jetplane!

Well its my last day in the MTC and I am so pumped to get out of here! I said bye to my investigator who is a paid actor and got a picture with him which was really cool! I also said bye to my favorite teacher Hermano Hale. I learned so much from him and am glad I had him.  I say bye to my other teacher tonight.  I am sending a bunch of pictures home today and some shorter letter because I have to pack. I packed all my Spanish books in a box and am going to ship them to California so I don't have to worry about weight on the plane ride.  I also am the flight leader and we have 16 Elders going to California but I am not sure if they are all going to Riverside. I am getting up around 4 or 4:30 and then our flight leaves at 8 or 8:30 and we fly to Ontario. Remember the time change too! Now since there are so many elders in our group we won't be able to make super long calls, maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Plus I want to give out a Book of Mormon and some pass along cards in the airport so I'll need some time for that too. I am so excited to talk to you and Mom you can save the crying for afterwards, ok!

It is so crazy that the church got broken into! So did they take the TV or no? I am reading and speaking Spanish it is still a little difficult but I am catching on as I practice. I got a Spanish "Book of Mormon Stories" book in the bookstore with pictures and it really helps because the Spanish is a little easier.  I have no idea what is going to happen when we get there and I am a little nervous about it. I am still excited though!

Ethan!!!!! You finally passed a test, I mean the test! What job are you thinking of doing in the Marines? Working on airplanes and helicopters would be so awesome! Do you like the shirt I sent you? or the Book of Mormon? I hope you try and read it.

Hey mom I need you to forward my emails and inform my teacher of my blog. His email is hno.hale@gmail.com Thanks! Also Elder Beestons mom's email is azbeeston@yahoo.com did you write it right last time?

I need to go pack but I love all of you and love the support you give me while I am out here!

Elder Allen

His flight made it to California and he was going to his new area today!  I will find out where and who his new companion is on Monday in his next email.  He was so excited when we got to talk to him today.  He tried to hand out a BOM in the airport but 2 out of the 3 they tried were already members and the other one said no he didn't want it.  I can't wait to hear all about his new area and the mission president and see him on the mission blog!  So many things to wait for!

For all of you that might wonder????  I kept it all under control until I had to say good bye to him and then I did cry at work today with my sisters.  Luckily I work with family!
