June 19--Dear Elder Letter Installment: Disney World

Dear Elder,

Thank you so much for the letter.  It sounds like this will be a very busy week for you, getting ready to leave.  I am sorry that we asked you to buy so much stuff to send us.  I meant to erase all that and just leave the part about you buying whatever you want for us.  I also didn’t deposit more money into your account till Monday night.  I hope those two things didn’t mess you up or stress you out.  I want you to be able to do missionary work, not stress over buying stuff.  If you want you can ship the suitcase with nothing in it at all

Thomas was never able read the email you sent him.  Where did you send it?  It’s not on my email.  He says it isn’t on his.  Let me know where you sent it and I’ll let him know so that he can read it and then maybe he’ll send you a better letter.

Today is Wednesday and we are at Disney world.  Monday we went to Epcot where they have the World Showcase.  We visited many “countries” including Mexico and Japan.  Dad especially loved Japan, and we spent quite a bit of time there and ate there.  Yesterday we were at Disney’s Hollywood studios, and today we will go to the Animal Kingdom.  Since there is less to do here, we have had a very laid back time and haven’t had to rush from place to place which is nice, but we still prefer Disneyland.  I’m glad that, thanks to Grandpa and Grandma’s being willing to watch the kids for so long, we found out that we prefer Disneyland to Disney World without having to make a special trip to Florida just to go there.

It is quite humid here, which we don’t mind, and it has rained for awhile every day, which we don’t mind either.  We have not seen anyone we know, ha ha, and we have not even seen anyone who is obviously LDS yet which is weird after being on a Disney cruise that was full of LDS people.
The kids and Grandpa and Grandma seem to be doing well and yesterday they went up the canyon and met Sarah’s family who are in town, and Rick’s family and all had a picnic.  Preston left yesterday morning for more training and we won’t see him again till December probably. We will all miss him.  Poor Miriam!  Dad and I finally got to talk to him on the phone for awhile on Monday which we enjoyed very much.
