How is everyone I hope all is well. I havent been receiving any letters from people in the ward whats up with that? JK. Anyways this MTC experience is pretty weird days go by like weeks, weeks go by like days I cant believe im already going to be in the field in 3 weeks. My roommates Elder Rodriguez, Elder Williams, and Elder Nufer are leaving to the West Indies Monday Dec. 7th. They are only allowed to pack 1 bag of 44lbs. and 1 carry on of 16lbs. because the plane from Trinidad to West Indies is such a small plane they can only have so much luggage. Lucky for me I get first dibs on everything before it goes into the free box :)
On Wednesday one of my sister companions Soeur Hurst went to the Dr. for a previous neck injury that hasnt healed and it has been almost 2 years since the accident and is now getting worse since being in the MTC. Soeur Hurst went the the Dr. to get it checked out and the Dr. told her that she could go home now(Wednesday Dec. 2)or he would give her until December 28th and if she wasnt all better by then she would be sent home and be medically released and if she was all better but she still feels pain in her neck then they would send her state side instead of New Caladonia well she is still here right beside Soeur Chugg and I and on Thursday she had an MRI done and Today Friday they got the results everything was fine except they found a cyst and they hope that the cyst isthe reason for all of her pain and so she is getting scheduled for surgery in the next week or so. I would ask you all to remember her in your personal and family prayers she is as a sister to me and to lose her would be horrible I wish you all could meet her. She is one of the smartest sisters here in our zone please pray for her that she may recouperate and be able to serve her mission I love you all.
Speaking of Smart I dont know if I have already told you but Elizabeth Smart is in my zone. Let me tell you now you can see the spirit radiating off of her. Soeur Smart and her companion Soeur Vedeja are amazing sisters and are just what we needed to keep myself and the other Elders on track and studying instead of playing NINJA! :) our favorite game besides verb 4 square which is okay but you have to learn verbs which is pretty hard. Anyways I will write you all more next week. I love you all please write me on Dearelder.com in your spare time and please remember Soeur Hurst in your prayers
Love Elder Van Dyke
