Murdock Update part 2

Here's the rest of those letters I promised you.

Dear Sister Kennedy,

How have your first few days in the MTC been?  How's your companion?  How's your district?  Do you like the food?  How are classes?

The last few days have been pretty normal.  We taught the First Vision to our Primary kids today.  It was slightly difficult because they were not in the mood to pay attention, but we muddled through.  And we only had two of them today.  We've never had that small of a class, so that was different.  

I just beat Final Fantasy VIII a few minutes ago.  Justin wanted me to play a video game while he worked on his painting, so I chose that one because I had never beaten it.  I got close, but never actually beat it.  Until now.  Woo hoo!  Now he wants me to play either Final Fantasy X or VII.  Can't decide which one.

Mom and Dad came down on Saturday to pick up the new entertainment center, and we all had lunch together.  Dad was asking Justin if he could design a logo for the company, so Justin's going to put together some mock-ups for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Matt to look at.  He already has some interesting ideas.  We also went to the library, and I got a new book by Tamora Pierce.  However, I think it's book two in this series, so I'll probably go back to the library on Monday and switch them.

I think that's about all that's happened since we saw you on Tuesday.  Remember who you are and don't let it get you down.  Love you, little sister.

Dear Sister Kennedy,

How's things at the the MTC?  Learning all sorts of fun stuff?  Gone crazy yet?  ;)

This week was a bit weird.  As Justin told you last time, I caught the flu.  Spent Sunday evening/night throwing up (and I do mean all night), spent Monday feeling better, but still crappy, and then felt human again by Tuesday evening.  Which means I only went to work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Totally threw off my internal clock, let me tell you.  

I'm going to start learning how to collect medical records at work.  Not as easy as it sounds.  There's a whole slew of regulations we have to follow, and then I have to learn how to read them and figure out what's important and what's not.  Fascinating reading...not.  

Justin made an apple pie from some of his mom's homemade pie filling that she sent home with us.  Pretty dang good, too.  I started playing Final Fantasy X.  This one is slower to pick up than Final Fantasy VIII, which makes it hard.  I've been playing for two hours now, and it still hasn't gotten into the story yet.  Justin says I'll get to it soon, though, so I'll keep plugging along.

We went to Bryan and Danielle's house for dinner tonight and spent most of the evening talking with Kristen, Celeste, and Dennis about BYU and crazy dating stories.  That was a lot of fun.  Our Home Teachers came over and we played a round of Super Smash Brothers with them.  Haven't ever done that before.

I can't think of anything else worth mentioning, so I guess I'll sign off here.  Love you, baby sister.  Hugs!
