Here's the latest email we have gotten from Sydnie. Enjoy!

Hey so sorry it was so hard to get in to my Facebook, and the whole email thing has been a mess too! I wrote you an email last week but it looks like you didn't get it because it was sent back to me so again I am so sorry! Thanks for starting the blog I think that will be really helpful and great! I actually had a wonderful birthday all my district made a big deal out of it they sang and made sure all of our teachers in the MTC  knew about it and we sang again in one of our classes. I did get the package you sent as well thanks!
Nebraska is wonderful! I got in on Wednesday and we stayed at a hotel on Wednesday and Thursday, while we had orientation and  all sorts of meetings with the mission President. It is so green here it blows my mind! We were able to go to the trail center, Winter Quarters cometary and we took safe arrival pictures outside of the Winter Quarters temple, it is so beautiful, and it was weird cause I remembered all the pictures of you and your family that were in your wedding video so I felt like I had seen it before. We didn't get to go inside but we get to go to the temple every other transfer if we are close enough. 

My companion  is wonderful! Her name is Sister Harris, she is from Colorado, and we are really similar which so far has been great! She is soo helpful! We are in an area called Plattesmouth, the major town is called Plattesmouth which is about the size of North Ogden. It also has a couple other small towns in it and the South end of Bellevue which is where we live with a member family the Bucksbees. They are an older couple and Brother Bucksbee is in the bishopric. They are so nice and it makes it way easier on us to live with members. 

It is super hot here! The humidity hasn't been too bad yet but it has been pretty stormy. The first night I was in Plattesmouth there was a huge storm with a crazy thunderstorm and tornado warning but we thankfully had just gotten back to the house when all of that started.   

This is the first time our area has had full time missionaries for a couple years because they usually work half of their time at the trail center at Winter Quarters and Half Proselyting and we are the only missionaries in the area, so we have a lot to do but a very small ward. We do have a couple investigators and we have found a couple people we met the last couple days that seem interested, so we will just have to wait and see.

Thanks for everything, love you guys!
