Thanks for the email! I honestly can’t understand how you happened to get all of that done in just two weeks! sounds like quite the adventurous trip! Did you not stop in Costa Rica? What? I’m very jealous of it, but mostly that you all get to be hanging out together. It’s OK though, I’m probably having a better time anyways 😉

Sweet Disposition
Oh my family dear,
Can’t believe you are traveling around Central America (without me). I hope you are having the time of your lives and soaking up that sunshine and beach time. Oh how I love the beach. Make sure you enjoy it extra for me.

Here am I send me
Hola mi familia,
This week.. woooo eee. I don’t even remember anything before Sunday, so I suppose we should begin there. Sunday was the last day for Elder Warner (from London) in our district and he has been in New York ever since Monday. It’s crazy that he is already in the field. It was an emotional day for the district because one it was Sunday, two it marked the beginning of our last week, and three Elder Warner was leaving. However we became spiritually edified like you wouldn’t believe. We had an incredible district meeting where everyone shared their experiences with faith. For our Sunday night video we watched a talk from Elder Holland, I swear nobody is able to get me more excited about the gospel than that man. He has more passion in his little pinky finger then most people have in their entire being. I listened to him and I was so pumped and ready to tell every single person I have ever seen about the gospel. Then one of my sweet new sisters came in as we were about to leave for the night, sobbing, and in need of a blessing, the Elders luckily hadn’t gotten far and were able to give her a blessing of comfort and she was doing much better.
V-day P-day
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! I want you all to know that in celebration I am wearing my pink skirt.
Yesterday we got a new district with twelve people six of them being Hermanas! crazy. Also you’ll never guess who is in the district. Good old Matt King. I’m pretty excited about it, he is going to Lubbock Texas. The Hermanas seem pretty great, so I’m very excited to have them. Yesterday I did what is called “coaching” with one of my teachers. It was the first time I’ve done it since being in the MTC, and I wasn’t scheduled, but I just started asking him questions, because I had a few things I really needed to talk with someone about, outside of my companion. So we had a really uplifting “coaching session” and I think that I have gotten a few things figured out of what to do better with my companionship and teaching. I’m really looking forward to that. Then during comp study Hermana Williams and I set some good goals and had a nice heart to heart about improving. Then the best thing was because I was in meetings and different things all day I didn’t prepare anything for the TRC, but she did, so we practiced doing the TRC together a few times, and for the first time since getting to the MTC our lesson was almost equally split up. I was very excited about it.
Love like a Christian
Family dearest,
What can I say? I love you more than anything.
So I just saw Rachel for 30 minutes, which were probably the quickest thirty minutes of my life, but it was so great! highlight of the world right now.
dying is part of life
Well it was a really great week. We passed 20 lessons again, and beat almost all of our goals. We even had 4 investigators at church even though it was Stake Conference which was a huge miracle. I’m feeling really frantic at the moment so, I’m just going to go through the whole week and list some things that happened.
The Book is Blue
Hi beautiful family,
First thing, I am sending to James@holladays .org so I don’t know if that is working for you.. lemme know the correct email.
Two: thank you for the two packages since I’ve gotten here they have been greatly appreciated and the food is now fully consumed.
Three: Dad! I love getting your missionary journal entries, it’s one of my favorite things, so thank you for that.
Four: Matt, a lesson I learned a while ago, the road/sidewalk always wins the fight.
Five: If you see sister Hamilton tell her I love her and thank her so much, I will try to write her a note today, but we will see.
so much has happened
It was a really good week. I’m super tired and I just spent a good chunk of my email time chatting with Hna Schwartz about people in Valencia and Mesa Grande. It will be nice to be able to keep in touch with recent converts better at home.
