Hello all- Rose's MTC pictures from the earlier post now have names identifying the missionaries going to Italy with her! (She finally got me a letter naming them!)
Letty
Serving An 18 Month LDS Mission
In the LDS church, when a girl turns 21 she has the opportunity to choose to serve an 18 month, self-funded mission. I have wanted to go on a mission since I was a little girl. My parents both served a mission in Rome in the 1970's. In 2001-2002, my sister Letty served as a missionary in Hong Kong and my brother Algot in the Philippines. As soon as I turned 21 I submitted my papers. The Prophet and 12 Apostles determine through inspiration which of the more than 300 missions worldwide each missionary will be assigned. I was overjoyed when I opened my mission call and discovered that I was called to Rome, Italy! I feel immensely blessed and I feel that God has been preparing me to serve the Italian people. Each week, while I am on my mission, I will send my sister Letty an email and pictures to post on the blog. I won't see this blog till I come home, so I will be unable to directly respond to your comments until then. However, the sidebar will always have a current street address for me, and I promise I will respond to your letters! If you would rather write via email, just email your letter to my sister and she will print it out and send it me with her weekly snail mail!

sorry if they are rushed :( please forward these email to the rest of
the family. I love you all so much. I am loving the MTC everything here
is so wonderful. The spirit is so strong. They have increased security
and you need to use a card to enter any building. Also they have just
thrown us in. I love it.

Send Rose an MTC Care Package!
For those of you who have asked about sending Rose a care package or treats direct to the MTC, I've researched it and the following links appear to be the best, BYU Bookstore being the cheapest usually. Of course, if you have the time, home-grown care packages are always awesome, but for those of us for whom clicking and buying is the more-likely-to-happen method, these are some awesome options.
