Thanks for all the letters and packages. They help a ton. I feel bad I haven't been able to write everyone but we only get 30 minutes on Thursdays to e-mail and it's usually at 5 am. I'm going to try and e-mail later on today too but for now this is as good as it's gonna get! Spanish is finally coming along.. I can teach the first lesson and the restoration. We pray in spanish, bear testimony and attempt to invite people to come closer to Christ. This work is incredible. The spirit is so strong here. I started getting a little homesick on Sunday night and started thinking.. crap, i don't want to have one of those "mtc breakdowns" but my district went to watch the Joseph Smith movie after the sunday night devotional, and as I watched it, the Spirit testified that this is where i'm supposed to be. I saw everything the members went through to start this gospel on earth and I felt so dumb for even thinking that a year and a half was a long time. These people died for this Gospel. I was really glad that Lindsay was here because otherwise I probably would've just cried myself to sleep. It was like EFY where you're just so overwhelmed with the Spirit and you're like "this church is so true!! i want my mom!!" haha none of you even know what i'm talking about but i tried.. Mom your package was perfect! honestly you picked every thing exactly how i would've. I got the necklace at Etsy by the way. She'll just have to search "florida heart necklace" the lady that made mine, her company was Truche. i think. those cookies were sooo good! My roommmates and i attacked the rick krispie last night too.. haha i'll send some pictures. i can only send 2 pictures per email so don't be mad if theres like 10 emails in your inbox. i know you love me though lois. both those shirts you sent me are really cute and fit perfect! I broke the 3 point record.. dad will appreciate this story. so the record was 4. then some girl made 5.. so i had to get at least 6 but i didn't want to get beat so i was going for 8. I started making 4 in a row. like 3 times. then i finally made 6! then 2 minutes before gym ended i was like heck no, i'm beating that. so then i started singing the song in my head that i used to when i would shoot my free throws.. before i knew it.. 14 in a row! "hand up till it goes through!" - Dad. I will try and e-mail again later today but for now i'm going to send some pictures!! i love you all and hope all is going well at home.
love you!!
