This email was mainly in response to the email I had sent her. It's kind of choppy, but she's been really busy!

Hi Mom!
That was a really good e-mail! Why did you have to say exactly what I needed to hear and make me cry in this smelly internet place called Babylon?
Oh, man Landon Pigg is going to be in a movie? Cool!
Next. What walking? My trainer and I ride bikes. And we don't really do much anyway. Last week was the best week of my mission so far. We were so busy and had so many appointments! But, I still have moleskin from earlier and my feet are surviving. Maybe in the wintertime when I get boots. Oh, and I actually will need a jacket soon.
All of a sudden it is FREEZING here! No warning or anything! Oh, and my trainer won't get a package for Christmas-she'll be home a few days before it. It's all she talks about.
Tell Jace and A and Fiori I say hi. That is so cool about him to go back to school and being all dilligent and stuff. That is something I strive to have.
Christian is still alive? I wrote him an e-mail and he still hasn't written back. Tell him I love him and that I am so proud of him. Tell Karley I say hi and I wear "our shirt" all the time.
Joseph told me he loved his month with you. Don't worry, these things don't make me homesick. At least not yet. To be quite honest, I hardly think about home. I hope that makes you proud, but it really isn't a big distraction, but I do look forward to e-mails on Mondays.
Actually, yes Sandy did get baptized this week. It was so beautiful, it was a crazy day that I don't want to relate, but two hours late she was baptized. Next step is to get her to church! But, we did finally get her in the water and that was so beautiful. And we worked a lot with inactive members that have been offended over the silliest of things and don't come to church anymore.
Love Sister Turner
