I got a letter from the Mission president: President Holmes. (I wonder if there is a relation to the literary Sherlock.)
It was a nice letter asking me to continue reading my scriptures and how much he was looking forward to having me in the mission. It was nice... except for one minor request. I need to get a long wool winter coat before I get to the MTC. While I am in Florida, in the middle of one of the hottest Summers I've had in a long while. It's going to take a miracle. Although it was from the mission President... therefore they have an odd predilection for happening.
In my mission interview my stake president he mentioned a fun story about his mission president who told his mission that they could have a baptism a week. Needless to say, no one believed him. The last month before he left his mission he got a greenie who wanted to try the mission president's promise. They worked their hardest and managed to have a baptism every week, sometimes even baptizing entire families... needless to say if the mission president says it is possible, then it is possible, albeit not probable.
I suppose if I can ace an Astronomy test and My stake president can have a baptism every week, then I can find a Suitable Jacket before I leave for Utah.
