July 8, 2014 - 5th Letter at CCM

My drivers license number is ----------- and the AP test one should be on that little paper that I brought home on the end of the year.  That is so good that Tate came and I am glad he is doing well and that Molly likes him. Sorry you got sick Dad, but I know how you feel. I think the food was some of the reason with up setting my stomach, but I got a stomach virus which was not fun to have.  I am getting over that. I think once I get out of here, my immune system won't take so much of a beating.  That is good to hear about the garden.  It would grow well while I am gone, but thats ok.  I leave next week, Monday night at 12 at night.  I should get there Tuesday morning, so I don't know about the email next week.  If i can, I will send you one. but if you don't get one I will email you the next week.  My Fourth of July sounded a lot better then yours.  The only thing we were missing was the fireworks.  The kiction staff made us American food all day.  We sang at lunch and they were wishing us a Happy Fourth.  It was way cool of them. Everyone wore red, white, and blue. It was crazy. Our opening hymn was The Star Spangled Banner and our teacher had pictures of the flag and Statue of Liberty and all that. It was so cool. Then for PE, we played baseball with three people on each team. It was way fun, but kinda hard with just 3 on a team. I will send you some pictures of that today. I got a hair cut. I was super nervous because it was the first time someone else cut it, but she did a pretty good job. I needed it because my hair was pretty curly. We ran today along the whole perimiter of the CCM. It wasn't too bad, but I am out of shape really, really bad.  It was good.   My companion knows a girl that is cousins with Hadley Haycock so that was crazy. He is like, "I  didn't know anyone from Wyoming. Now I have all these people coming in my life." it was pretty funny. It's weird being the old kids here now, but I am glad because there are so many missionaries. I am ready to get out of here. It will be way different form anything I have done, but it will be good. That's funny about Alyssa. I wonder what Jared said to her. That's worse then anything I did last year. The thing is it was on main street so I bet a lot of people found out. Not much else has happened. It's just a lot of studying and class.  I will try to email you next week if i can. If not, the next week.

Love
