heya momma!!
Things are going really good in the mission! ha i have no idea what cold is... i dont even know what 60 degrees feels like! but things are going really good here, im not trying to sugarcoat things, everybody knows that the mission is hard, its 16 hours everyday of doing everything you possible can to help others, being exactly as obedient as you can, and workng your little tooshie off its hard it sucks, but its okay! some advice i received was through a couple of talks compiled together by someone with a video, go to youtube and search something like jeffrey r holland and henry b eyering atonement talk, it talks about how the life of jesus christ was hard, he had a mission his whole life that was nothing but difficult, so us as representatives of him should be expected to have it a little tough, but we also get to share in his joy and love! jeffrey r holland says something in it along the lines of Why should it be easy for us, when it was never easy for him? this is like my alltime favorite quote from him. because its sooo true. also i received this little book from my mother with a quote in it that says surround yourself withthe good news and dont worry about the bad, theres no point in focusing in the hard bad things, just focus in the good and search for the light. so yeah the mission is hard not gonna lie, but its soo easy at the same time! spanish is coming along so great! i can talk and express pretty much everything i want to say, almost im stil learning ha. and im having so much fun! sounds liek you are having tons of fun too as yw leader! they are lucky to have such a hard working dedicated president like you! thats awesome!!! ha i memorized all of section 4 of d&c in the ccm in spanish! the entire section is a huge help for me when im down, i just repeat it to myself to remind me what is expected of me, and i think in the atonement of jesus christ and am filled with hope and know that i can do anything if hes with me. My favorite scripture now is Alma 26:12, i also love versus 27,30, and 31 its so sweet! im learning lots from my companion and learning ltos on my own! were starting to find people to teach and im starting to see the blessings! thank you guys for all of your prayers and everythigng ou do for me! i really appreciate it so much!!!
