Hi Parentals!

It is so good to hear from you each week! I love getting the emails and the pictures. :D You are both so so great! I brag about my awesome family to everyone. :D

There was a cool experience yesterday. One of the ladies I talked to with Sister S. finally was able to meet with us. We shared the message of the Restoration. Then asked her if she would pray about it. She said, "I don't feel like I need to. I already know. She (pointing at me) never gave up on me." It was a cool moment showing that I am here for a specific reason. I am pretty sure I won't know the end of that one, but hey, it was still way cool!

So in Helaman 3:23 I learn why I love the country so much. The Gadianton robbers are in the more established parts of the land. AKA GANGS! So....I am pretty sure I want to live in the country my whole life!

Don't worry about sending me anything for a few weeks. I really should be getting transferred. I've been here almost 6 months now and that is a pretty good indicator.

You should be proud of me because I'm doing my best to be obedient and follow the mission rules. There are a lot of people who don't and it makes it hard but it is worth it to be obedient because of the spirit that can be felt in this.

I am glad Dad made it to Missouri safely. I pray for your safety! I'm also glad Mom made it to St. George. I got a letter from Gma W yesterday. It was very heartfelt and touching. I do love those letters! :D

Have a good week!
