This week was pretty good. The days are going by way too fast. It’s so weird. I’m not really sure how I feel about that. I have heard that the last 6 months just fly by way too fast. I am already feeling that quite a bit. Every transfer just seems to get over faster than the last. But I am also excited so see y’all. The mission just gives you so many mixed feelings. You feel so happy, and yet really sad, all at the same time. It’s so weird.

Other than that I’m not really sure what to tell you. I forgot my planner, so I’m not really sure what happened this week that I should write to you about. I think that is something that is going to have to continue for me when I get home. I am so lost without my planner. I never know what is going on without it.

Mommy: That is sad about Aunt Della Mae. 🙁 It’s times like these that people need the gospel more than any other time, because it brings comfort of what is to come after this life, and gives hope that we will get to see the people who pass on again. There is a line in the Preach My Gospel dvds that we use as missionaries, where a woman is talking about the way she feels in the church. She talks about how happy she is, and how welcoming everyone is. Then she says, “If that is how it is here, just think about how it will be in heaven. I just cannot wait.” Everytime I hear that line I get teary, because I think about the way we will feel when we get to see our loving Heavenly Father, and our older brother Jesus, and how wonderful we are going to feel. 🙂 I just think about that when I hear of people passing on. Everything is fine for them.

Wow, I can see y’all have been staying busy. 😉 That was a lot of news all in a few lines. Tell Amanda and Jason congratulations on having a baby! That is very exciting. 🙂

Ha ha. The time change messed with us too. We were commenting all day about how tired we were, because we kept forgetting that we had one less hour of sleep. We were definitely worn out last night. But that is a pretty regular thing for us. I don’t think I’ll feel fully rested until I get to come home and sleep for 12 hours or so. That will be the day. 🙂

Thank you so much for taking such good care of me. I really appreciate all the love and support you give me.  : * (that is a kissy face. I’m not sure how to do it).

Dad: I’m sorry about Grandpa. That is really hard to have to see. But everything will be okay. I’m glad that Grandmother doesn’t have to worry about him so much anymore. That is good for her. How is Stacy doing? It she alright? I feel so out of the loop, because there are family members I haven’t talked to, or hear from at all, for 1 year. I hope everything else is good. That’s cool you are getting in bike rides. There is a senior missionary here, that keeps asking me if I would be willing to ride a bike as a missionary. I told him if I had to, but most the reason I don’t want to, is because (1) I have to wear skirts, and (2) I’m really out of shape. I would probably throw up if I have to ride a bike anywhere. But I don’t think they will make us a bike area. All of the sisters in the mission right now are in cars.

Emmy: Things are good here. Did you find a new job yet? I can’t believe you are graduating soon. I swear you were just a little sprout like yesterday!!! Que honda? Anyway, that is way cool. 🙂 Well, I’m almost out of time, so I better go now.

I love you all lots! Tell everyone I say hi. It seems most of them have forgotten about me. 🙁 But it’s okay. I guess that is what happens after you are out of peoples’ lives for a year. Anyway, it’s all good. Be good. See you soon. 🙂

Love, Kelsey
