Thank goodness you got them! I was wondering the whole time if you received them or not.. Dad told me about the hail storm that took place in Fernandez?!?! DANG!!! and it made me cry to know that miracles are taking place because of faithful missionaries! That made me happy! I’m doing really good! I’m very happy mom! I know the MTC was a little rough on the start but I’m feeling good. I have realized how hard on myself i really am, I’ve tried to do better and relax just a lil. Dad told me about that situation as well.. That is rough. I know of 2 missionaries that went home from the London South because of depression. But nothing big. Like I said Reading isn’t a huge area but there are a lot of different cultures in this area as well. I just happened to be in the ghetto kind of area.. It’s ROUGH.. There are shady people and tons of sketchy girls if you know what iImean! . There are lots of people to teach! Everything is going really well.. I’m hoping, praying and crossing my fingers that we will have 2 or 3 baptisms this month or the next. We are teaching some great people. My companion has been out for 1 year and 3 months.. he is a really good missionary.. His last companion wasn’t a good guy so he said I’ve finally gotten a missionary who wants to work hard. He is happy because we are picking the area up again and trying our best. About the pictures, i told Sis. Williams that you didn’t get it. maybe you just had so many emails that you didn’t pay attention or something.. But it’s good you have it now. I’m glad you are printing my letters out! I want to see how I progressed and if i forget anything I’ll go back and read them.. Tell Pres. Whetten I said hi and I’m thankful for him and the great friend he has been to me and the advice he has given me! love that man!! Money wise! Um i do need to get a jacket soon! It’s starting to get cold here! I can see the fog or vapor or whatever it is off my breath and it’s barely September soo yes I’m going to have to buy a few more things and i will be set! And i would LOVE to get a box! Just throw all kinds of stuff in it! It would make me happy! Throw one of those armor of God coins in for Elder Burton.. He said he lost his and he was quite bummed soo then if i give him one he will always remember me and he will be all happy and stuff!!
That’s funny that Bethany’s wedding is going to be like that! I can only picture Colton standing there all awkwardly wondering what in the heck is going on lol.. Hh tell Bethany to tell Colton that one of my MTC teachers could have been his cousin or maybe brother.. They looked soo much like each other it was weird! hahaha! That Tenny Ranch reunion sounds like tons of fun! I always like to hear when something happens! Because then you always have a story to tell :) oops I didn’t know that it was Grandpa Maxs thing.. I wish I would have remembered.. After my talk Grandma walked up to me with tears in her eyes saying i know Grandpa is proud of you and he loves you! I am glad to know I have a brother a sister and a grandpa as my angels! I have felt many times comfort or guidance from them and the Holy Ghost.. Lately I have thought about all my close to death accidents and every time I feel like Gracie and Colton and maybe grandpa Max were the ones protecting me Mom! I won’t ever be able to explain what took place in side of that car because I hold it dear to my heart.. yes there have been times wereIi have looked back and been a little sad about things in my past but when I talked to my mission president about the things that i would bring me down he talked to me for a while and gave me a scripture.. I don’t think I have ever cried that much in my life.. I know I have a high tolerance for pain but when it comes to spiritual stuff i am SO WEAK!!!!! haha and all this mission stuff is making is much worse ;) lol but I don’t mind.. My testimony is growing like crazy <3 the ward here is one of the best from what I heard.. People are always so kind to jump in and feed us! People are always curious about my life and how it was living in Mexico and Elder Burton just sits there all quite.. I FEEL SO BAD haha soo i keep talk short. We are teaching about 6 people and they are working towards baptism! Its SWEET :) and Pres. Walker just gave blessings to people that asked for them or he felt people needed.. He gave me such a wonderful blessing.. I wish I could have recorded it! But I guess next time I’ll be sure to do my best to remember.. I sure do love being a missionary! Everything is going good! Still adjusting but once I really get into a week or 2 I’ll have some fun experiences to share!
