Hello Mom, Dad, and everyone!

You guys look so good in your pictures! I love them. I am also sad that we won't be talking because I miss you so much too. I have really been missing you guys so much the past couple of days. Also I am glad that you got all of the packages finally :) and yes I do need the sd card back. I will be sending another one back here soon because it's almost all filled up. They were kind of boring but I am glad you liked them. I can't believe that Liam is engaged to her. Yes I know her not very well tho! that's way cool. tell him I say congrats and that I want an invite :) Also I did get Patty's letter and the money! Tell her thank you so much as well! I really love all the mail and stuff I get. It helps me stay sane without all you guys. The more the better. for christmas I am just concerned about clothes cause mine are starting to wear out a bit. Not too bad yet! Also I do need some makeup right now. They don't have it here so I will send you them so that you know wht to get and what to send. I don't have any preferences for christmas. Good efy cd's.. I don't really mind. Whatever you want to send. also will you email me some recipes for snickerdoodles and for german pancakes? thanks. Sorry to hear about Ruby! I don't really remember who that is or if I even know her. :( Also I haven't got your package yet cause it's still at the temple but hopefully this week.

 

I still love my companion so much. It feels like I have known her for ages. It's great and we get along so much and we just have so much fun! Her name is Sister Adam and she is from Aberdeen Scotland! I am pretty sure I have told you guys already but you keep asking haha. but yeah she is great. I am learnign a lot from her and learnign so much about myself. I think that is why I have been reflecting so much on what and who I want to be becasue I am responsible for teaching her and training her to be a missionary so I just want to be a good example cause ultimately that is the best way to teach.

 

Well this week has been good! We have been finding a lot so that we will have people to teach. I have really been reflecting on who I want to become and who I want to be at the end of my mission. I want to have changed for the better. I don't want to be the same person I was when I left. And I know that if we do everything that the Lord wants we are going to be so blessed! even if we don't know why we are doing it. there is a reason. I just really want to change and have my life aligned with the Lords. We will be happy if we do that. We will have challenges but we will be better prepared to deal with them if we fully give ourselves to the Lord.

We did archery last week for pday and it was so much fun! Dad when I get home I want my own bow!! haha it was so much fun! I lloved it so much and I was pretty good haah. There were no sites or anything on the bows so that was a bit difficult. We played against the elders and we totally won! haha

 

anyway I love and miss you all so so much! you are alll the best ever.
