it sounds like you are all doing really good! tell nathan good job and i wish i could see him play! i got your dearelder yesterday and as far as mail goes i think it takes about 5 days!! so it's funny that you said you are going to write little tid bits because that's what i did and i am sending the letter today!! it is a rather depressing letter but i am feeling a lot better because everything i wrote was from last week. umm i really didnt forget anything all i want is more sweats haha preferably my grey ones with the 8 on them but i don't even know how much that would be to send so if it's a lot don't worry about it. umm my tights ripped and they were my favorite ones so if you can go to walmart and get me the polka dot ones and again if it's too much don't worry about it.
the days here are so long we have class so much and then we teach our teachers and other members that come in and they record them and then we can watch and see what we did good and bad!! i have been struggling a lot with teaching and not knowing what to say and i felt like it was me just blabbering on and on and so i went to conference with a question and i just prayed that i could gain the confidence i needed and to be able to just have faith that the lord would tell me what to say...i got my answer!! in conference one of the guys names was koelliker and it was talking about family but i related it to investigators and this thought popped into my mind.. "just relax and be yourself, you know this gospel and you have a testimony don't worry about covering all of the information just bear testimony and have faith and the spirit will do the rest." and since then i have relaxed and just been myself and my companion and i have done a lot better!! i was so grateful. i can't believe how much i have already learned in such a short period of time.
last friday we went into manchester to street contact!! it was the most terrifying thing i have ever done. just approaching people on benches is so awkward and weird.. i had a bad attitude about it cause it was scary and i wish that i could say i learned something from it but i didnt' hahah. and i still hate it. i thought the mtc was hard until i had to do the street contacting. i will take the mtc any day over that. and we are going back this friday and i am definitley not looking forward to it haha.
today has been rough because i woke up late and then when i went to turn my straightener on it wasn't working!! i think it is just the converter. but now i have no straightener or hair dryer!! i have been borrowing a hair dryer so as long as i have that i will be fine!! it's just more to add to my stress!! but then we went to the temple and i felt a lot better!
i had to give a talk on sunday and you know how i feel about talks.. everyone said i did good and it wasnt as bad as i thought!! kind of like my farewell!! but we watched all of conference except one session!! it was so good though!! i got a lot out of it and i am so grateful for our prophet and having the opportunity to be able to listen to his counsel!!
it is hard being with a companion 24-7! it is going to take some getting used to!! you can't be out of sight for one second but i better get used to it!! we will only be at the mtc for another week and i don't know when my pday will be when i get out in the field. or if i will even be able to write next tuesday cause that is our last day! also the mission home address is in the pamplet i got in the mail!! so it's there!! also could you send me my mission call :)
tell cheryl hello and that i love and miss her as well!! and grandma and everyone!!
anyway you letters always make me cry and i love them and i love you all so much and miss you like crazy!! it seems like it has already been a year since i have seen you!! i love you so much!!
