Mom and Dad,
Hey, yeah, so I’m fine. I sent you an email the first week that I could get on the computer and thought I would have had one the next week, but maybe it didn’t send or something. It’s ok. I’m here now. I have been getting everyone’s letters fine, and all of the packages got here too. I have been going up and down the halls every night just asking elders if they want some, and I still have a ton left I’m gonna have to leave behind. I’m just glad that they came. I would suggest not sending many to Peru or Ecuador, honestly. But thanks.
Um, I have no idea if it’s their or our time. It didn’t say on the thing. It just said that I fly out at like 8 and get there at 3. Sorry, and I don’t have the flight plan, but I’m pretty positive it doesn’t say. The other elders in my district said to but a calling card too, but I don’t really know now to use it. I guess I can find out. So I’ll just get one with like 2000 or something? I don’t know, probably that.
My debit card info is the same as everything else. ________ is the username and _______ is the password. Is that what you meant? And that’s good to know about Dana, but I don’t think I’ll be needing her anymore. If you can take on the carry on and the backpack and they don’t charge you, then I’ll have plenty of room and the weight shouldn’t go over. I was just worried that I couldn’t take two and then I wouldn’t have enough money and just have to stay back here. And I don’t really want that. Well, not really.
I gotta pack today, and it’s not as bad as I thought. There isn’t much stuff, it’s just about shoving it in. The only other thing is I have to do the 3 hours of studying at some time today, Tuesday is temple day. I gotta pack, AND write letters to like 9 people. It’s gonna be crazy. And it’s probably the last time I’ll get to speak English for the two years. Crazy.
And the MTC isn’t that bad. The first couple a weeks were just cuz I was just trying to figure stuff out, but now it’s better, I think. This last week has just disappeared and thing are starting to pick up faster. Class is still kinda long, but if they are starting to be somewhat fast, I think days in the field will be quite fast. It’ll be good. I know it.
So year, that’s good. I’ll call. If I call in Salt Lake, it’ll be way early and I don’t know if they’ll let me, or if we’ll even have enough time to do it. I can surely try though.
Well, I gotta go in a second, I’m running out of time on this thing, we only get 30 minutes a day for email, so it’s really hard to get everything written and across and what not. Tell Madison that I CAN read letters any day of the week that I want to, but they say you shouldn’t until the day before P-day so your mind isn’t wrapped up in what you’re going to say, but its ok.
I’ll send a letter out today too, and I think if you send the letter here to the MTC even though I won’t be here, they try to forward it to Peru, and same with the mission. Most missionaries try to forward it or something, so that’s good.
I miss everyone, and love everyone. Good luck this week with everything and I’ll hear from you soon, I suppose. I’m gonna try to save all letters from everyone, but I don’t know if I’ll have room. Again, I can surely try. Oh, PS, I my room somewhere is a letter from James from a while ago. Can you give me his address? I kinda wanna write him back. I wish I knew Gentry’s too, but I haven’t heard from him in a while. Lastly, tell Cody to write me a letter before he leaves. I never got his address, the jerk. I’ve gotten a letter from Kayle and I wrote one and got one back from Sam, so at least I haven’t been completely forgotten. Well, love you!
Love,
Elder Reber
Madison,
I can read the letters whevever. I can only write them on p-days. So yeah.
School is EASY! You just need to apply yourself. Cheat is you have to. That’s all I ever did, and I’m on a freakin mission now. Exactly. Boo-sha. Just keep going. It gets easier. Say hi to all the BA teachers for me.
And your friends ARE stupid. Except for Sierra. Who I never got to kiss. Tell her, “Why didn’t you just come to my house and let my brother kiss you”? Do it.
How’s work? School now? Family? Fun stuff? Let me know.
Ok, two favors:
1. Go on Facebook and change my address every time I transfer. Like, under my picture, you know? You know my password. So when you find it out, change it, and leave an update every now and again.
2. Talk to Aubree and get her address for me. I have some things I really wanna tell her. It’s important. Please?
3. Tell Cody to freakin write me! I don’t know his address.
4. If you ever go in to Fresh Market, get Nick’s address and email. Please?
5. Go on my Facebook messages and write down the email for: John Bryant Hitchens. I wanna forward emails to my friends, and he was the mish who inspired me.
OK, that’ s all. Love you! Have fun. Don’t do bad stuff with boys. Seriously.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
Whitney,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I love you! Miss you! Have fun! Thank you for writing!
Love, Elder Reber
Dear Mom and Dad,
So, I already did that email today, so I figure that covered everything. But I just basically got packed. I’m gonna have to do the three bags - two checked, and 1 carry-on. Plus, the backpack, I’m really worried that it’s gonna be a big fee, and I’m not gonna ever have enough to cover it. Then what? I dunno. Just leave one, I guess. I’m just nervous. I’m gonna go talk to travel services, too, right after this, so hopefully that’ll take care of stuff.
Sorry, this is so short. Not much time to do stuff today. I’m gonna have to forsake a large portion of studies. That’s not good.
Wait! Just talked to Travel services, and they said 2 checked, 1 carry-on, and the backpack. Whew! Saved my life. It’s all good now.
Anyways, wish Whitney a happy birthday for me! Love you. I’ll be on my way to Peru in about 12 hours from now.
Love,
Elder Reber
