Thank you so much for your email! :) I LOVE hearing from the family! :) It adds such a booster to my week hearing from you all and knowing i'm still part of the family ;) haha Ok i dont feel that left out when you forget to write, but it really is good to hear from you all and the experiences you've been having at home :) I'd love for you to send all those picts! I cant get enough pictures :) They dont make me homesick at all! I was just thinking that the other night too, i was looking through the little album that mom sent me of the family and thinking I needed some more. Its fun to see the kids growing so dramatically, and all the fun that you are having together :) So pictures are always a good thing :) They dont make me think about missing out on anything or wanting to be home so dont even worry about that :) It just makes me feel bad for you all that you cant be here on my mission experiencing what I'M going through! ;) hahaha Cause lemme tell you, mission life is rockin my socks off! Definitely no other place i'd rather be right now :)
It sounds like the kids are loving summer and thats exactly how it should be :) Being a kid and just playing everysingle day was a BLAST! Dont you wish that we could do that again? Not worry about work or cleaning the house or running errands or anything? We just get to play outside in the sun all day long, without a care in the world :) haha being a kid was the best! But being an Adult has its adventures as well so i'm grateful for those too :)
I'm learning a lot about what i want to be like when i get home, and the missionary work that i can still do as a "ward Missionary". My eyes have really been opened to the opportunities that you can share with those around you, even if they are members of the Church already. Our goal as missionaries and even as members is to "invite others to come unto Christ". OTHERS means EVERYONE! :D So we should be looking for misisonary experiences ALL the time! :) Thats something that never occured to me till I got here, and its a goal I now have to get that drilled in my head and never forget. Its something that I encourage all of you to do as well :) keep looking for ways to serve those around you and help bring them closer to Christ. It brings some pretty SWEET blessings :)
Mk so lemme tell you a little bit about the miracles that happend this week :) On to more important things. Last week was a really good week! I'm still loving my Book of Mormon reading! I just Finished ALMA today!! :D Captain Moroni is soooo LEGIT!! Man i never realized how powerful some of his Letters are to the leaders around him! SO BOLD!! And you see so many of the blessings from those who are faithful! The 2000 Stripling warriors are super awesome too!! Facing many battles and none of them are killed because of their faithfulness?? So COOL!! BAH i just LOVE the book of mormon!!! its soooo powerful! and there are SO MANY lessons to be learned from it! :D Its just the bomb :) My goal is to finish reading it in two weeks!! I've been crusin through it so far and thats my plan until i'm done :) And then i'm gonna start it all over again :) Cant wait! haha and i'll prob rave about it over and over again so you better get used to this ;) If you wanna see what i'm talkin about then ya'll better read it! You'll know exactly what i mean! :D
The work in my area is going SO WELL!! we had an excellent week teaching people and this week will be even better!! My comp and I and rockin it and learning better ways to teach together :) She is awesome and i love it when we get along and really work together and teach with the spirit :) I've been given the great privilige to drive the car, so i'm just LOVIn that! :) Things are just going so great!! I wish that i had time to write more and more details, but my time is short and my Prep day just keep gettin shorter :-/
