Hi Momma...and friends...

I am happy to report that I have been doing VERY WELL. I have been loving everyday even though somtimes the MTC drives me crazy I recognize that I have less than 3 weeks left and ALOT more left to learn! It sounds like everyone is doing very well and that you are all gearing up for the Holidays. Got a letter yesterday from Grandma and Grandpa, Sandy, Glenn and Elder Nielson. It was a great day. Then last week I got a package a day for three days. First from Caroline, then the Wasdens- delievered by Pam Hardy, and then Whitney Kelly. All of them contained some kind of fruit and my district and I have been very appreciative.

Mom to answer your questions, there is ALOT of Basketball played in the MTC everyday at gym. Then in the field I am sure you can play a lot at the Church buildings on P-day. I think Elder Adams is really going to want his basketball shoes. So now to answer Sister Adams questions, as far as I know there is only one French branch in the MTC. My branch, which is only one Zone, right now is made up of four districts, about 30 of us, but we are getting 30 MISSIONARIES tomorrow!!! We are very excited. There will probably be another four districts added. I am sure I will give more information next week. All my classes and Sunday Sacrament and Sunday school is with my zone, so yes french speaking.

Anyway, Michael will be home on Saturday! I am so excited for you all to be together next week when you read my letter. Tell everyone in the ward I love them and miss them. Sorry about your food spill in the car. I have not heard yet from Kim Bitterman but I did write her. Oh and we cannot call on Christmas. I will have five hours to talk when we have our layover. Get ready to be on the phone for a long time fam! Jan 2! Less than three weeks.

To answer MVA's questions the language is progressing each day. I am learning a lot. Teaching is progressing. I think one of our investigators will commit to baptism this week. (they are fake but still). Okay cool things from this week. Sister Ann M. Dibb came on sunday for Relief Society. I met her and we hugged. I am now legit. I hugged the prophet's daughter. Um I had nothing else written besides that. I thought i had more. Something i want you all to do is read Moroni 10:32-33 and every time it says grace substitute in the word 'atonement'. If you read with purpose it will be so beneficial in your life. So in a second my friend Elder Graham from my zone is going to write to you. He is interesting. We are really good friends and like to joke together. The other day I was writing a bucket list and he decided to add to it that one day i will spend a week on his Yacht in Greece. I am pretty sure you can get a good picture of him from just that. This is Dane, Your Daughter is awesome and is the only person here that I can joke around with! Plus she's a great missionary! She helps me stay sane lol. Well I am gunna get going but I love you all very much. I hope you have a wonderful time together. I will be thinking of you often. Have a wonderful week. Keep strong and carry on.

Love, Soeur Addis P.s. Mom please send a good baby picture of me.
