Howdy howdy!
Sorry I forgot the phone code! I didn't really know how to take it off. The shoes are great! Who made the cookies? Very delicious! Sis. Aitken wants the recipe 
I didn't talk to Dallin Larson yet, but I did manage to see him at breakfast when we went a little earlier than our time this morning. I forgot he was going to Armenia! They're just on the opposite side of our floor where our classroom is at so I'll have to peek in sometime! Same with the Lithuanians too! Suzanne Tutt is going to Rome, Italy (I think!) Yesterday night, she came up to bear her testimony to me in Italian. So fun!
Both of my instructors did serve in Estonia. Brother Andre has only been back for a year, and Brother Conway has been home for about 3 now I think. Brother Conway looks kinda older than he really is though. He said that he lost some of his hair from learning Estonian, ha ha ha! He keeps reminding us that we'll never speak as poorly as he did. He must have been REALLY bad. As far as pictures, I'm trying to take some, but I need to remember to bust out my camera more than just on Sundays when we go walk to the temple. Too bad it's closed for the next few weeks, but I just found out that our district is supposed to help clean it on July 14th. That should be great I think I can order prints of some pictures if you think I should mail some home sometime. I'm just using the 2GB card that came with the camera and it only holds 300 or so, so maybe I can mail it back before I'm done with the MTC. 2 months from today and I'm outta here, haha! 
That's so nifty that Sis. Peterson had that DVD! I definitely read a bit about that when looking up Estonia's history. They've constantly been conquered so I need to make sure I show 'em lots of love!
This week has been quite rough on Sis. Aitken. Rather than being bothered by Estonian, she's suffering from some really bad ear infections. We started going to visit doctors on Saturday (got to go off campus to the pharmacy! WAY EXCITING, and very odd at the same time x) She hasn't been improving so we're finally going to see an ENT doc on Friday. Because of her illness, we've had to ditch a few things here and there so she can try to rest herself, which has given me some extra hours to write letters, write in my journal, and study a bit more. I want to be able to help her more, but there's not much I can do except be patient and loving. That's great you want to get fit! I need to do the same. I sometimes play sand volleyball, but I want to start using the exercise bikes when the field is closed in the early morning and we can only go to the gym. Last Friday, I tried out the Sisters-only exercise class they offer at 6am every morning. Friday's specialty is kickboxing. I've never been so grateful for Techno music in my life!
Last Friday was also a special devotional for all the new mission presidents. 8 apostles in attendance! I'll write to you about that later when I have more time. Oh and last night we heard from Sister Elaine S. Dalton, the Young Women's President. Very excellent talk which I'll tell ya more about 
I've met several missionaries that are going to serve in Arizona soon. It makes my heart soar every time I meet a new one. Best time of the year to go too! (NOT) Provo is getting a little hotter. How hot does it get here? Ma ei tea (I don't know). Enjoy some fireworks this weekend! We might be able to catch a little of BYU's show from our dorm window!
Hugs and kisses!
