October 30th, 2008 Letter to Hannah

Hannah!
Hola hermana! Thanks for the bundle of letters! They made my day. It sounds like you're learning lots of cool stuff in school. I'm not sure what a dioram is but I'd love one! Sounds like you've got a lot of Zelda to play! And unfortunately missionaries can't chew gum but thanks anyway!
So you almost got another puppy? That'd be way cool! I sure miss Rosie. And you. And Mom. And Dad. BUT I am really happy to be a missionary. Are you excited to get a phone call from me on Tuesday> I'm leaving on Tuesday now, not Monday, cuz that's just when the rest of the Long Beach missionaries are leaving I guess.
The MTC is kind of boring sometimes. This week's been way busy because Elder Kemp and I have been teaching TONS of lessons.
Today's the 30th so I guess tomorrow's Halloween. Nothing special about Halloween when you're a missionary. I think I'll wear my new brown sweater if it's cold enough. Missionaries can't wear sweaters with really bright colors. They need to be "conservative".
This week another apostle spoke at the Devotional: L. Tom Perry. So I've heard from 3 apostles at the MTC. Cool, Huh?
I heard an old man fart in the temple today. That was awkward. But I guess you can get away with it when you're that old.
Well next time I write you I'll be in CALIFORNIA! And I'm sure I'll have a lot more to tell you about then.
I LOVE YOU!
Love
Elder Tyler Lewis
