HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAIGEY!!!!
very frustrating. i was attaching your addresses and then the computer did something crazy and signed off, loosing my whole email:( im tired of writing, so sorry if this email isnt too exciting..
you are going to lake powell!!!! fun!!! please please please be safe!!!!! i hope you havent left yet. i have a little package for the birthday kids for you to pick up if you could:)
friday night we got to watch a dvd of brother duval's mission year. it was SO neat!! the whole time i was thinking there is no way that there is a place like that that actually exists. it is incredible!!! at the end there were pictures of all of the baptisms. it made me so excited to get out there and bring the rest of the 62 million to Christ:)
last week the noong thais came in, i am a phiithai!! there are only three of them. i feel bad for them, i love my district, i cant imagine what it would be like without any of them in it. sister webb got her call the beginning of march, a few weeks before i got mine! another miracle that shows me that this is exactly where i am supposed to be, and another thing that amazes me that jord and i got to come in togehter.
thank you so much for all of the prayers. i can really feel the power of them. it is such an incredible feeling knowing there are so many people praying for you. also, through the prayers, letters, and the expectations, it really pushes me to work that much harder. to be that missionary that everyone is praying for and excpects. to be that missionary and that example that you, especially mom and dad expect me to be.
jordan is doing so well. he gets his flight plans thurs or friday!!!! so crazy. you say taht he feels he is struggling with the language. i can assure you he is going to be perfectly fine!!! he is going to dominate!!! i can tell you one thing, he speaks more dutch than i do in thai! hah i am SO excited to get out there and make a million mistakes with teh language. i already know taht there are going to be some pretty funny times with me trying to communicate with all of the crazy tones and sounds..
well, im sorry for the short letter, i will handwrite a better one today with the things i need before i go and more details. i feel bad waisting sister larsons time as i email again. (sister akagi is sister essma's-a roommate who is going to cambodia- companion on pdays now that sister oneil-the thailand sister- is in phratheed thay!!!) thank you so much to everyone for eveything that i got this past week. a few of my roommates and people in the district have told me to express thanks to you!!!
i love you so so so much!!!! i MISS YOU!!!
love, sister young

ps. send me something like the Folsoms send, but instead of moongrams, send me some hot, crispy, lake powell sungrams!!!!!!
pps. sis larsons mom sent her a package to thailand, it was 10 lbs and 70$!!!! hah i dont expect there to be too many packages in the next 15 1/2 months!!
