Ana sent a whole bunch of pictures from her ipad since she had to hand it in. She won't have an ipad in Colorado (but I'm still hoping they get them before she's done). Here's a great picture of her with her friend Andrew West and their companions.
We got to talk to Ana on the phone right before she left for Colorado on August 15. It sounds like there is still one pay phone at the SLC airport and the missionaries line up to call home before they head off and don't call again until Christmas. Since there is a long line kind people recognize them as missionaries and offer to let them borrow their cell phone to call home. I love the simple gestures of kindness so many people give in the world.
Ana didn't get to talk long. She mentioned feeling sick, thinking she ate something that didn't settle well. I asked if it was nerves and she said, definitely different from nerves. We talked and joked about a few things, but the one thing I remember is she was a little dissappointed all the girls in her district are the "no touchy" (Emporer's New Groove reference) type, but Ana is a hug type of person. She said all the guys in her district are the hug type, but mission rules are no hugging, holding hands, etc with others of the opposite sex. Maybe now that she's in Colorado she'll meet more people that are the hugging type. :-)
Here's a bunch of pictures from the MTC. Like, seriously. A bunch. They might not mean much to anyone else, but I figure Ana will want them together when I print this as a book when she gets home.
