Elder Shepherd
[I think Elder Shepherd had a lot of personal emails to respond to this week. I know I sent him two myself. Oops! But he did reply to my emails, so I'll put a section of what he told me about his Thanksgiving on here. Coming from a sisterly point of view, I'm glad to see this picture. I miss seeing him. We haven't seen pictures from him since he was in the MTC. He is promising that he will send his SD card home. Expect more pictures when we get it!]
I know I already sent you an email, but you sent me two, so I should only return the favor.
Yeah, for Thanksgiving, we had a lunch with a member in another elder's area, and, since Thanksgiving isn't the greatest day to go out working, we watched the new Sherlock Holmes. (Chastise me if you want, my District Leader watched it, too) It's a good movie. Also, we went to the Bishop's house for dinner. Their dinner wasn't nearly as good as the lunch, but they did have pumpkin pie flavored cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. That was SO GOOD! I know cheesecake isn't healthy at all for you, but I couldn't resist.
I miss butt rolls. I haven't had them in so long. I finally made myself not lazy and made tacos last night, though. So good. I've been craving those for the longest time. 12-layer jello also sounds really good right now. I really love Thanksgiving. By the way, what is this missionary calendar you talk of. I certainly haven't heard anything of that. Have you guys been counting down the days until I come home? That is a bad idea (mainly because it makes me want to count days, too). I won't tell you to not do it, but it'll only make the time go slower for you guys. I've got 734 days in the mission, and if I've done 165, I'm already getting closer to coming home. I bet you guys will be excited for that, as am I. But, let's not dwell on the future for now.
You bet your biscuits I'm calling home on Christmas. The good thing about that is that I'll be able to call straight from our cell phone. Normally, we'd have to do it at a member's house, but since it's on a weekend, we get lucky, and can call from anywhere. I'm thinking of calling you guys around 7:00 PM Utah time on Christmas day. I have to coordinate with dad, but I'm sure that shouldn't be too big of a problem. As for what I want for Christmas, I'm still coming up with some ideas. I already know a few, and I'll tell them to dad, but I don't know when. I do know, though, that I'm sending my SD card home soon (probably tomorrow, even), so keep an eye for that. I've got some interesting photos and videos, to say the least.
Well, thanks a ton for your prayers, and I'll keep all of you in mine. Love you.
Elder Shepherd
P.S. my main email may or may not have a few pictures in it. It all depends if this computer will cooperate.
