9th Week

I was hoping we would have good news about Nathan's flight plan, but no such luck. I was in Provo on Monday and how I longed to drop by the MTC and demand they let me see my baby. (Nathan has asked several times that I not refer to him as my baby but once my baby always my baby)
Nathan was allowed to call home and it was beautiful to hear his voice. Although the call was only 5 min. It was enough time to make me homesick for the guy and to hear the happiness in his voice. It makes a mom's heart full to hear that happiness.


As my last email to the family mentioned we are delayed in the MTC. There is more information to the story though!

So we knew we were delayed before I sent my last email and so I was able to let you know. On Thursday/Friday though the other companionship in our district discovered that they were too delayed. Well sort of. They have been delayed from arriving in Netherlands/Belgium but they were reassigned to Mississippi. So while my companion and I wait it out by ourselves in the MTC as the lone companionship in our district the other three get to go off into the big scary world of Mississippi Jackson Mission. I may sound a bit bitter and I won't lie its a bit frustrating but what can you do? Just gotta keep working and not worrying about it I guess. The funny thing happened today when we tried to check our email. When we tried to login it said, "I'm Sorry you can only check our email on PDays or for less then 30mins on that day." We hadn't been on yet and it was our pday so we were a bit interested. We checked with IT who told us our daily schedule had been deleted off of the system because we were supposed to have left... So we checked with scheduling office and they actually had 4 new elders moving into our room which only contains 4 total beds. We nearly had to repel a room invasion by the groentjes (A bit of nederengels basically it means greenies). We were told we won't be leaving or hearing about it probably until a week which will be the 23rd. I guess I'll probably get another Pday at the MTC.

Things are going well ultimately. Dutch is coming along we are teaching well and getting along quite well. Things are good.
