Dearest
Family,
How are you all? Didn’t you just LOVE conference??? I don’t know how they do it, but I feel like
it gets better every time! I’m so stoked
to study the talks! (Mom- you’re going
to send me that Ensign ASAP, right?) Can
you believe that that was my last General Conference in the mission?? Crazy, right? Time is going by WAY too fast!
Anyway, this week was
ok. Not the best week, but not the worst
week either. (Note: an observation of life, things can always be better, but
the can also always be worse). A lot of
our investigators fell through this week. It was discouraging, but I know that good
things are to come. Weeks are so weird
in the mission. They go by SO fast! When you take a step to look back, you really
do realize that weeks feel like days and days feel like weeks.... Days can be
sooo long sometimes, but weeks just seem to fly by! It’s an interesting concept.
Things that happened
this past week: I made legit home-made
apple pie for a family home evening, we received a reference, named Cinderella
Bernal, from Salt Lake City (which never happens and is super cool and
exciting)... it turned out to be our 2nd Counselor.. he wanted to see how long
the internet references take.... it was about 2 weeks.... my
hopes = shattered.... Ha! Ha! Ha! I was seriously SO excited!, General
Conference, Jean didn’t get baptized, we lost one of our investigators, we had
4 lessons planned with members present in which our members (different ones)
faithfully came through and which all of our investigators fell through. Our area literally looks like a ghost town
sometimes because there is literally no one in the streets! We´ve been spending the week studying and
remembering the scripture Alma 32:42 to help keep us going, and we’ve been
studying a lot about Adam and Eve and the Fall = sooooo cool!
Anyway, we have
changes this week, but we still don´t know what they will be like. We find out
Wednesday in the morning, and then they happen Wednesday afternoon. I am hoping to stay put and with my companion,
but we’ll see what the Lord wants.
Quick notes—
-I get letters from Alec
every so often. I’m awful at responding.
-Spencer sends me e-mails
every so often. It used to be almost
every week. I sent him a letter this
morning.
-Courtney’s letter
today made me LOL sooooo hard. She
emails me like every other week. I’ll
have more to say in regards to her letter next week.
-Mal. Sometimes I receive letters.
-Made me
sooooooooooooooo happy to hear about Lyndsie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved her
e-mail!! But there was only one….week 4,
I think.
Well, must be off!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
