Merry Christmas from the MTC

Hello!!!

Elder Ferney here!!! Since our P-day is usually on tuesdays, but Christmas is on tuesday, we get 4 hours of monday to do pday stuff! Guess what? IT's SNOWING!!! Cool right? It looks like it's going to be a white christmas after all!!! So, at first, the MTC was the worst. But now. I love it!!! It's such a party!!! I seriously love all the elders in our district and zone!!! The food is so good!!! 3 square meals a day? It's been a while... but i'm loving eating my veggies!!! hahaha. So, on Friday, i was feeling sick. Like way sick. So i got up out of class to go get a drink or something and right outside of the door i dry heaved into the garbage, then stood up and BANG! I passed out!!! The sound of my head smacking on the hard ground was so loud that people from like 3 classes ran out of their classrooms and I was out. My companion said he tried to catch me but didn't make it in time. Luckily one of the sisters was a registered nurse in a previous life! She elevated my head and got me breathing again. Apparently when I woke up, a loogie shot out of my mouth, went straight up in the air, and landed on my head!!! My companion was pretty calm, but Elder Nielsen (basically my MTC BFF) was flipping!!! Once i opened my eyes, he WOULD NOT let me close my eyes!!! Later he told me that he was very scared! So they got medical people over and the wheelchaired me to the clinic. There, i barfed in a bucket... Then they gave me this nasty shot that made me sleepy and helped with nausea... I got to sleep in a sick bed for like 3 hours, then went back to my room and slept... I feel a ton better now!!! (except for the goose egg on the top of my head) I just wanted to thank you for keeping me in your prayers cause i know i was somehow protected!!!

I can't believe it's Christmas eve!!! Wooooo!!! I love Christmas time!!! It's THE BEST!!! We sing a lot of Himnos (Hymns) here!!! I always sing as loud as i can! So fun!!! We have busy 16 hour days that are jam packed full of things to do. I wish we could sleep more!!! 10:30pm - 6:20am is not enough sleep. but whateves... Anyway, The temple is closed until january so we just go on walks to the temple on every P-day and every sunday. I have SO MANY pictures of the temple!!! It's great fun!!!

Recently they outlawed the sandwich punching game, and tie traiding... bummer right? Oh well... the elders in my district and I just walk around singing songs and beat boxing!!! Awwww yeah!!! It's fun.

I'm glad to hear from you all!!! and I'd love to hear from you even more!!! If you go on dearelder.com (I think thats the website) you can write me a letter and they print it out and give it to me the same day!!! My mailbox number is 244 and my departure date is February 11, 2013... I can only read emails for like 30 minutes a week, but i can read letters any day!!! Hand letters rock too!!!

I'm going to email a bunch of emails of pictures, i borrowed a card reader from someone... Send me a card reader please!!! SD card -> USB thanks.

Mucha Fe.
