Family! How are things? Mom it was great to get a letter yesterday! I love hearing about everything that is going on.
I guess the first thing you guys want to know is....YES I got my flight plans. I leave Monday the 7th and I report to the MTC travel office at 6 am (which is a blessing cause you can report starting at like 3 am). Anyway so here are my flight plans...my plane takes off from the SLC airport at 10:26 am and ill arrive in Denver, Co. at 11:50 (go figure). Then my flight from Denver leaves at 12:50. I arrive in Santa Barbra at 2:20. So crazy right? So yes, the official church policy is that there is no policy on phone calls at the airport, so we can call home. Ill probably buy a calling card. Mom you will be at work though so I dont know how that will work out. So I will be traveling with 15 other people so thats good, since Ive never done a connecting flight before, and ive never been to Denver so thats cool. But yeah, as of this time next week I will be in California. Loco. Its so weird because in a way I felt like I got here yesterday, but I also feel like I have been here for an eternity. So its good. I just got comfortable here which means its time to go haha. Oh so mom one thing you did forget to write me was my mission address, I need it so that I can give it to my district so they can write me. So please send it to me asap. Speaking of address can you change the address on the blog to the mission home address until I know where I am...gracias.
Thank you for sending the package to the mission home. you are the best. About the tape...i dont know. I would hate for it to get here after I leave and it have to be forwarded to California so if you dont think itll make here just wait til I can give you my address in Cali. Oh also I dont know when ill be able to email next because I dont know when my pday will be. You guys can start emailing me, mom dad and sibs. Ummm OH and Im sending a package home today, a shirt I wont wear, a lot of my letters and I dont remember what else. haha,. So yeah look for that.
Im glad you enjoyed the tape. I think its such a fun idea. Dont record over my stuff..i want to keep making tapes so Ill have them. Were you able to find a recorder for them? Did you give the "ward" email to bishop? Oh haha the deacons in the ward wrote me...mostly Brandon and the Deacons quorm president...an Allen I think. Haha tell them thank you for me, and Ginny Young, she wrote me this week too. Tell I give her many thanks.
Man, I dont know what else to say. OH abotu the wheel of fortune thing, dont worry about putting it on the SD card, I love that you are thinking of me but itll be there when I get back and I probably shouldnt be watching it anyway, so just send it back my way. I havent been very good about taking pictures lately. Sorry. Oh you can go on Ksl.com and they did like a special on the MTC...you can see me once in it...Im wearing a purple shirt and its at one of our devotionals...haha my companion is wearing a bright pink shirt if you want to see.
hello this is elder skyler almquist!!!!! yes your daughter is absolutly an amazing hermana, i mean sisters loc cientos i mean sorry wow this spanish is killing me!!!!!!!!!!! well i ama writing you this message to let you knwo the gospel is true, and that Jesucristo is our savior. Remeber hm in your thoguhts and prayers everyday. O my favorite constleation is orian, i don;t know wh but it is my favorite!!
^noob. haha hes in my district the constleation thing is because hermana spillers mom asked what hers was so she could look at it. hahahaha. anyway.
Nothing exciting has happened this week. We got our travel plans and since then we have all kicked it up a notch. I think we are all secretly nervous about our spanish and how well it will work in the field. Im nervous. But Ican speak bad spanish!!! WOOOOOO. Spanish is hard BUT it will get there. I can confidently get through a lesson, not perfectly but the spirit will make up the rest.
Dad! Thanks for writing me, maybe you should carry around a little "kayla notebook" and every time you think about something you need to write to me or want to tell me write it down. Ok? Haha. I enjoy hearing from all of you. Including Mariah. Tell her Im sad I didnt get a letter this week.
Tell Chrissy thanks so much for sending the new temple holder. I LOVE it. I also loved that I kinda found everything out first. Haha. So you all listened to my tape? did you find everything on it? haha Im sorry its all over the place . I really didnt know what I was doing.
Oh ok, so on the first dayhere they take all the new missionaries watch missionaries that are about to leave start teaching people. Well me and my companion get to be those missionaries! Ok..actually me and my companions..We have another companion..Hna. Holder. She has been here for 11 weeks and is going to Texas. She got appendicitis 2 days before she was suppose to leave so shes just been recovering with us. Her spanish is really good so it really has been a blessing to me.
Oh could you maybe see what the weather is going to be like in Ventura/Santa Barbra? I have no idea what Im walking into.
Oh there is a skirt I saw an hermana have. its really cute. Its from urban outfitters online. She said its on the sale page and its like a ballerina looking skirt and its like cream...with like a black band at the top..if it isnt too expensive can you get it for me maybe? also I was wanting that black dress with white polka dots I got at the DI. Long sleeve. My blue and white stripped button up shirt (not the denim one)...Ill write more when I get to cali. Dont send those things yet. Sorry Im a pain. I feel really really bad. You dont have to if you dont want to.
Your putting all my emails on the blog right? oh and the pictures..not all but some. OH I saw Elder Trevor Tonks here the other day...we took a picture, dont worry.
Oh the scripture for the plaque is Alma 29:9-10. If that is too long then Alma 31:34-35. :) I think that should be good.
Tell Mariah good luck on her audition. I really hope she gets the scholarship! Ill be praying for her! She will do great! Tell her to own it and dont worry what the judges are thinking. Dont over think it and do it!
Also my companion got this really cute calender from her friends...its like all these cute epic pictures and stuff for each month I love it. OH speaking of pictures I was wondering if you could send me like some of the pictures from my farewell party. The people I took pictures with...like probably the ones i put on facebook. Thanks. :) you guys are the best.
Anyway I love being a missionary. I love it. Im nervous for the field but it is going to be SO ROCKIN! I cant wait to meet my companion..and see my area!
I guess Ill talk to you next Monday...I dont know what time ill be able to call so Iguess just have your cell phones with you! DOnt forget to send me my address!!1
