Hiya family!

You must be busy today! 'Tis quite all right though since I know you're sending a package soon anyway ;) I didn't have any e-mails except from my old pal Aubri Wilson. It was short, but good to hear from her! Now that I'm not responding to your e-mail, I don't know how well I'll be able to fill this e-mail up! I just finished lunch which was right after our trip to the temple. Yet another lovely day~ Now that the temple is open again, this is probably the time I will be e-mailing during the day. Only a few more ettevälmistustpäevad (preparation days) left at the MTC! [I finally figured out how to do Estonian characters on this computer :]

I'm stuck in a little predicament with the pictures for the plaque back home. I took a pretty good looking picture last Wednesday and when I went to go get to process later in the week, both of the photo processing machines were out of service. Nii...(So...) you'll either have to wait a bit until they fix or replace 'em, or I can send home my 2gb memory card early. Let me know whatcha think.

Yesterday, I received a cute little "How you doin'?" sort of card from Grandma Smithson. Oh, she is just so precious~! She feels bad that she's keeping up with my updates but not writing enough. Oh, whatever! I've at least received several cards during my stay here and Carol has sent me some e-mails too. I think they're doing just fine. Much better than Stacey anyway >.> *ahem*............ Nah, I'm kiddin'! I got Stacey's letter last week, and boy oh boy, did I laugh really hard! Thanks so much lil' sis! I hope you keep writing me back. I need those lulz~ Oh, thanks for the Morgan update! She seems to be so busy with the move, but I'm glad she enjoys her new area.

Not much new has happened except that I'm counting down the days until we're bustin' outta this place. I do like the MTC, but I've been here to long and I want to get to Estonia a.s.a.p.! We got some new roomates last week and I like them a lot. In our room is Sis. John and Sis. Soolefai from Hyrum, Utah and Brisbane Australia. Awesome. They'll be serving in Billings, Montana and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania respectively. The sad thing is that we'll have to bid farewell to another set of roomates before we even depart ourselves. Wow. Ha ha ha! I can't wait to see Rebecca Crowe and cousin Chaz show up on August 18th though!

One of our teachers is getting ready to go to India for service for 3 weeks and probably won't be back before we leave. Much of our class time with him has been just story time, but it's great because he's been sharing the many miracles he experienced there.

Well, I think that's about all I've got for now! I love you all so much. Thanks for the love and prayers!

Much love,

Courtney
