Letter from Joshua 3/11/2013



well, HEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Arizona! hey there mission fans, I am BACK and better than ever.
last Pday was a wedsnday and I didn't have ANY flippyity dipp'n adresses on hand.
I have SO much to write and oh so little time to write it all @.@ so I guess I will just stick to the important parts.
I had GREAT companions at the MTC.
elder sterns and steed and my companion elder taylor.
me and taylor were... compatable but we weren't 100% buddy buddy.
my favorite was elder Steed, the man was FREAKISHLY up lifting and a just all around wonderful guy.
so, to explain the night that I called.
elder sterns had (after I was voicing my concerns) took me aside so we could talk one on one, he was very anxious to discuss with me what he wanted to say, but he felt like I should talk to the clinic guy here (kinda the MTC shrink if you will.) I was actually really okay with that, only problem was... we were leaving tomorrow XD soooo we went to the front office and we talked to the guy uo front, he then took us into an office where we talked and after a bit I kinda broke down. of course then my nose blew out and I got to bleed into a trash can for about thirty minutes XD its funny, it wasn't really gospel stuff I broke down about but more about how my life was and such. I guess one of the things I have wanted was to feel special... anyway, on to other things ^^ I decided I was gonna go anyway, I figured, 'heck if they were gonna send me home might as well go down try'n' so here I am.
as you will learn from my letters heading yourway I did infact have a REALLY rough couple of days being here. But I am slowly relaxing (hopefully that is a good thing.) I have yet to receive anymail from you guys Q.Q but if its all at the mission home then maybe theres more than I thought. ^^ haven't heard from savannah so either she felt I was whining or she already found a new guy or shes been busy XD.
I do infact have another adress that would probably get to me sooner I just... don't remember what it is.... one second.
4625 45th ave
apt m1 lacey WA 98503

anyway, we haven't really had alot of lessons.... at least not ones I would have countred in AZ. -.- things are... unconventional here XD brother and sister weaver are simply amazing. they encourage fun and love for their missionaries with everytime we speak to them, and despite my first impressions of my companions I am starting to warm up a bit ^^ I will tell you, when we had our transfer meeting... 0.0 it was crazy, we were singing, we were laughing and just... I felt the spirit cooking a pot roast in my... no that won't work... my stomach was on fire!!! and I was totally blown away! it was so... well what I thought could have been considered boarderline irreverent but there I was feeling the spirit stronger than I can remember so I'm feeling all @.@ where the heck am I!! the place was full of so much energy that I didn't know what to think or do or say.
course, by the time we were getting ready to leave I got really choked up because I had a thought Xp.... by the time I get home... Jessah will be too big to be on my shoulders... and of course I tried to tough it out.. but it was hard because my new companions lost me XD they were talking with elders they knew and all sorts a stuff and there was poor me trying not to cry all alone like a little kid who just said goodbye to his momma infront of the kindergarden playground.
furst couple of days were stereotypical they rained, but then all of the sudden we had like three-to four days of sun shine, I was like 'what the heck?!' but then the clouds came back and I was happy again.
I just came to the end of my stressful days, which lemme tell you... no bueno.
I got that thing in the back of my throat like mom always talks about where she feels like theres something in her throat and she can't swallow it (I do believe its just stress, cuz its gone now.) and I head ache that I was just informed never really goes away... so when I get home I'll be like 'why the heck does my head feel so weird?.... oh yeah, because it doesn't HURT!' its not really bad today, so either I got used to it or the clouds are working miracles.
PLEASE send more mail!!!
I gots all the ones (minus on which I lost T.T) from the MTC as well as dads hand written one and darcie and oranges.
(savannah ask here which adress I should Email orange from) I plan on sending darcies mom one XD reunite our family ties if you will.
I will most likely call her Auntie gina cuz... well I just gina would be weird since thats my moms name..... well moms.... anyway ya, I got alot of pictures from the MTC I swear it snowed ALOT those first few days, but then it was weird cuz close to the end when it started raining I was like 'wait... where the heck did those bushes comefrom!!' I swear they pop right out of the ground... LIKE DAISIES!!
heh... mooshoo reference X3
anyway ya, the rules are actually WAY more lax here, I can write letters anyday of the weeek as long as its not during preach'n hours.... I can't spell proselyte okay!! e.e we had a companion in the MTC who was our district leader called elder Walker... so of course we made some chuck norris jokes XD but he was pretty awesome... even if he did eat nothing but fruits and veggies and make me feel all self concious without even meaning too -.- but he was really smart too so I made a couple of 'walker' jokes.
Elder walker is so awesome... when he miss-spells a word? all the dictionaries in the world auto correct.
or elder walker is so awesome... even rabbits think he eats too healthy.
the first one was a bit of a hit XD.elder williams was kinda like Jaime from mythbusters only with hair and was more active in being funny XD we also had alot of ssiters that I miss XD sister rodrigez sister sheranian sister oslur (AH-slur.... but I called her aushwitz... which we all agreed was kinda horrible XD) elder sterns was actually really amazing. his life had been one of horrible proportions, he had been through SEVERAL foster homes as a child, been in an a mental institute as well as a rehab, he had done things that he definately regretted, but had turned his life around so amazingly... partially thanks to a girl ewe

not to self, I need to give a catalog of all of my emoticons so people don't get confused so the following are all emotionally letter based faces.

XD darcie, you will not distract me so you can talk about other sutff in your letters ^^ Orange, you can send pics of our characters, just don't send me fluffles unless its cute stuff not the other stuff XD Savannah I miss your art Q.Q and I copper is sending a letter so ya ^^ you all will not BELIEVE the stuff I can do here!
mondays we can play zombies
(so mom I need you to send me that Vulcan nerf gun X3 an lots of ammo.... and pumpkin cookies!!!) I absolutely LOVED the two packages I got from tondie with the pumpkin cookies X3 (the sugar cookies were awesome too!) however the other cookies got old before I could eat them all Q.Q now I has milk and will be able to consume to my hearts delight X3 X3 also, things that are aproved on P-day.
DnD... and pathfinder.
which I have a confession to make... that unfortunately sounds really inviting T.T I'm becoming a nerd XP I am doing alright with my companions, there are Elder major (musically talented nerd/popular guy/ evangelical spokesman.) elder anderson. (steady farm dude who likes to joke around) and sabin... he treats me weird cuz I'm a greenie -.- my eating habits are all over the place XP last I checked I was 242... granted I was wearing my full suit then so most likely its 238.
I'm figuring out how to lose weight XP maybe caveman diet.
jeez I'm running out of time 0.0

okay, so tell Aaron to buck up, live it up while he can.
tell ethan to PULL HIMSELF TOGETHER!!!!
and maybe slap him around a little bit.
tell mariah to man up! she's freak'n mariah smart, she doesn't take crap from nobody so she shouldn't from herself and for pete sakes hit the stupid ball! XD she can pretend its me or something.
tell Jessah moo I misses her Q.Q
and I miss you momma most of all.
I will be sending dad a letter as soon as I can explain my experiences.
aaaand... um... well the WATAC has a blog XD so you might see me XD I miss and love all of you so...
