HIII MOM AND DAD!!! HOLA HOLA!!!

Thank you so much for the letters and pictures!!! They have meant so much to me and have been such a light. Mom your writing and descriptions are so good if i close my eyes im home for a second, they bring me so much joy. And your testimony of the Savior was inspirational. And Dad getting the sports updates and schedule was so fun, and your advice is treasured, its counsel i revere immensly. Happy, humble, teachable. I felt so unconnected at first but hearing from you guys is seriously the best!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! Leaving you guys was the hardest thing ever. There have been times i want to go back to being in that bed, safe from anything the world could throw at me, back in the warm comfort of the nest. But i also know i have to get out and learn to really use my wings. Cant wait to talk when you guys wake up!! We are just home all day so i dont want to be annoying and waste your day on the phone, but i really will be here all day. 

Im just going to write the things i cant say. My companions are good, i feel like we get along pretty good. But i think im learning some things not to do as well. We waste a lot of time, eating meals with another companionship whos also in quarantine bc they are training. We hang out with them a lot. But i think they are starting to feel bad about it because yesterday they said the other elders couldnt come over for dinner. Idk why but i havent been able to love them yet. Im praying for and working on it. Also the work is kinda slow. I think ive taught two non members and we didnt really teach a whole lot, justtold them to pray. We have had quite a few member lessons and the ward seems awesome. Im not sure though if they fully trust my comps tho. They just dont get some things, like they were like not really paying attention in ward council, or just doing things that dont look the best, like just putting his head down and stuff. Also idont know how to find people, we cant go out and talk to them. They say member referrals are the best and we are trying there but theres still a lot of down time with that. I wish we could go out and tract or street contact, just to feel like im working hard, constantly trying to share the gospel. I know i need to see the good and im sorry i feel like im complaining. I really love the work when we do it. Talking to people about jesus christ makes me so happy. He is the reason i am here. Because I love Him and want to bring others to know Him. I have been incredibly blessed by the gospel the least i can do is share it with others for these two years. I love you guys so so so much. I shouldnt have wanted to have those 3 weeks in the mtc go by! I miss you guys everyday but find joy in my purpose as a missionary. 


Last thing, At the beginning of the weel we hung out w the APs as we were at training and i know thats the kind of missionary i want to be. I want to work hard, love my mission, and get lost in the work. Two of them were gling home and they were saying how they would switch us spots haha bjt also that they are going to keep the exact same habits when they get home. They 100% figured out the mission. I know brench did, stevo did, cpay did, jaxon pollard has, etc. I want to get there really bad but feel like i dont know exactly how. I know it is a work in progress but that is my goal. 

Anyways, love you guys so much and cant wait to talk to you guys!!!!!
