Hello family…. and stuff…. Hahaha!
AWWWW….. Yes Lex and I email occasionally and I just wrote her a letter! Tell her that I love her and I am so proud of her. She is going to do wonders I tell you. Tell Liz congrats and that I love her and Linds too!!!!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so exciting!!!! Give Tan and Gray mood a hug for muh.
In a package I would not mind if you sent me maybe a Mormon Tabernacle CD would be nice! Also in the next letter you send will you print off the talk by Jefferey R. Holland from the 2012 October Conference about Peter and The Savior!!!?? That talk I used to listen to all the time? I have been craving that! ALSO I wouldn’t mind if you sent a little bit of clothes! If there is room… If not then I can buy like five dollar undershirts here that I bought one of. I am going to buy a couple today so I’ll be taking some money out of the account. It has been exceedingly hot here and so I have been not wanting to layer things and that is basically all I have! And if you wanted to you could send me my TOMS but that is optional! Whatever works for you mama. Thank you ever so much. How can I ever repay you?
I seriously love that quote you sent. It is true I feel like we grow so much and learn so much from the trials we face and it all comes down to how we endure them. I am grateful for my trials as a missionary they have helped me to grow into a better person even just this long. And I have a lot more learning to do.
This is the quote I sent Emily: “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God … and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.”-Orson F. Whitney
Ok so cool things that happened this week:
We were out contacting and we met this couple R. and N.! And they own pigs… That’s right PIGS!!!!!!! I love pigs. So we went back to meet the pigs and they was one named oinkie…. IT WAS THE SIZE OF A HIPPO! I am not even kidding. When we go back to visit I will take a picture and send it home to you.
Brother K. has now received the Priesthood!!!!!!!! Awwwwwww…. He is the best. If he was the only success out of my mission that’d be good enough for me. BUT I have lot more to do out here. It’s wonderful 🙂
We met this man E. and he is a rosta man! AND he had hair down to his thigh!!!!! It was insane. He said at one point his hair was down to his feet. Needless to say I asked him for hair growing tips.
On Saturday we had this service project called “clean up B.” and we all went the missionaries and members and had a section of B. to clean. It was great!
There is a lot more but I am going to send pictures so I got to keep this a little short! I hope everything goes well this week and I am looking forward to getting the package.
Anyway life is great! This transfer is flying by. We are just working hard and saving lives. That’s all. No big deal. 😉
Dad: You are wonderful! I am sure you did great on your testimony. Sounds like life is going good still. I sure do love you!
Thanks one and all for the support and prayers! God speed!
Love with my heart, Sister Emily 🙂
