A surprise email from Katie                   Monday September 15, 2014

HI!!!!!  This is Sister Brunson.  We got permission to email for a little bit today.  I just got your package!!! 
OH MY GOODNESS MOM YOU ARE THE BEST.  I am so thankful for you. It is stressing me out a little because I know the clothes were probably expensive.  I hope that you had a coupon or something!  But instead of being stressed I've just decided to be thankful.  Also thanks so much for the candy, black licorice and pens.  It was a perfect last package! 

So we leave tomorrow!  Crazy.  It's sad saying goodbye to our teachers and everyone in the zone.  But I am so ready to go.  Well, not actually ready because I haven't actually packed yet.  But I will soon hahha.  Tonight we have time after dinner.  Today has been the chillest day of my mission, we've done like nothing.  It's soooo weird.  I can't believe that I'll be in Italy soon.  It's crazy.  I haven't got your dear elders yet so sorry if they say stuff, I will reply whenever I email again. 

Umm I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what I should write and what kind of details you would want to know.... hahahaha.

Like I said we have three hours to pack tonight.  We still have to go to bed at 10:30, not early or late.  So we will get up around 5:00 and eat and then drive to Salt Lake as a zone.  Then peace out!!!!!!  I still don't know if I will call in Chicago or Salt Lake, probably Salt Lake.  Around 10:00 SLC time...so like 9:00 there? That's probably the earliest I would call.  I hope it all works out haha.

I hope things are well there!  It looks like Amanda had a swim meet?!  yay!!!!  Kev looks great as a football player (he's lookin slim too!) and Amanda looks fantastic swimming.  I didn't get to read the deets of how she did, hopefully well.  Tell her I will email her in response to her dear elder next week.  

Ok sorry I have to go!! 
Thanks again for everything mom.  And family.  And thanks for all the prayers from everyone.

THIS GOSPEL IS TRUE.  I can't wait to tell all the Italians about it!  And eat gelato. 

CIAO! 
TI VOLGIO BENE
Sorella Brunson
