Elder Finch: November 9th

Hello family.

I was great talking to you yesterday. I wish I was able to sound more excited. My throat is still sore. Apparently while I was in quarantine, I got and ulceration in my throat which, I guess, is an acid burn or something like that. I am no longer sick, but my throat still hurts.

I am way excited to to here about Rebekah's papers. I hope to find out where she is going next Monday. Next Monday, as soon as I get in the laundry room, I will let you know, just in case you want to wait until I am just an e-mail away when you open your call. I will probably have a computer around 3:05. Thursday could be an exciting day. That is the day I am expecting to get my flight plans.

Lisa, I think your spray paint pictures are amazing. I will probably keep them my whole mission. They are hanging up in my room right now. I have a roommate that loves art a lot too. He told me he wants to learn how to paint like that. He is a convert, and use to do a lot of tagging. After being converted, he just started drawing a lot instead. I also want to tell you that I am impressed you beat Bowser without using any whistles. I have made it to land-8. I enjoyed that land a lot, because it was one of the times a game beat me. My favorite level is the one with the tanks. That one is cool.

Sarah. You sounded really happy on the phone, and I am happy to hear you are getting fun homework. I like it when my siblings are happy.

With my Spanish, I am learning subjunctive. This is really difficult because it is not used in English anymore, but is still every day use in Spanish. In Spanish, this is used basically whenever you aren't telling facts, or asking questions. This tense could prove very useful, and I kind of wish it was still used in English.

A while ago, I saw Shane from our ward, and Andrew from Days. Andrew was supposed to go to the Brazil MTC, but he and 92 other people couldn't get their Visas.

Until next time, I love you guys and can't wait to get all of your mail. Stay strong and happy.
