Dear Family (& Friends),
Hola mi familia! Como estan ustedes hoy?
Sorry about the unfound letter :( I hope that it arrives soon. (Last Friday no letter arrived. We did get one Monday which was posted last week).
Thanks for your prayers. Nothing super remarkable occurred...unless you count the fact that Russell M. Nelson spoke to us!!!
This week, apart from a talk delivered by an apostle, nothing much has occurred. I'm surviving. I hope that I continue in progress. I think that it'll be fine.
Elder Lopiano (Italian last name) showed me on google maps (we have internet access to a few sites - LDS.org and different language-helping programs als0) different parts of New York City. His father works in New York City (Elder Lopiano is from Connecticut). He's given me lots of excellent advice!
If you want to see a nice, poignant, tear-inducing video... then visit lds.org and scroll down to the bottom. It should show a video entitled "Things that I learned as a boy: Everyone can watch it!
If you want to view another good one, click 'past features' bar below the video. There will be many options. The option that you should select next is 'New Film Projects'; click the link in the following link...watch the video of the Good Samaritan in full screen.
Tell me your thoughts about it!
I remembered a video that I had showed Alexis, Kylee, and McKenzi called "Brighter Side of Elizabeth II" on YouTube. Obviously, I can't see it but I think that you would enjoy it!
It should be one of the first options on the search (Brighter side of Elizabeth II). The music is 80's, "Girls just wanna have fun." I know that you'll love it.
Queen Elizabeth is having her Diamond Jubilee (60th year of being Queen) the year I return from my mission! That's another reason why London is hosting the Summer Olympics.
I have little time remaining before I leave for New York City! I'm perhaps a little prideful when I proudly exclaim that our district is the best in the MTC. Apparently, I'm the last Elder to ship out! However, I'll be temporarily assigned to another district while mine dissolves. I can't believe that I'm almost a twelfth of the way done with my mission! It's so sad! People laugh that I talk too much with the sisters, haha... (Don't worry, I never flirt because I'm on a mission; besides I have my girl waiting for me back home - her name is... Art History). ;D
Hopefully soon, I will find a little time to order photos to be printed. I appreciate all that you do!
I love you all! Take Care! Say "Hello to the missionaries for me!
Love Steven
P.S. Later today: For the second week in a row, an apostle has spoken to us. It was Richard G. Scott! He bestowed a few Apostolic Blessings upon all of us! I felt the spirit really strong!
One of our counselors remarked that in the two years that he's worked here, he's never witnessed two consecutive weeks with apostles speaking! :D
Love you!
Bye!
