Week 11

I am doing well and I was sooooo excited for Zoe's baptism on Saturday it was great! The water was colder than the snow outside hahaha. 

Mom, this Christmas focus on the celebration of Christ's life and that he gave His life for us so that we can give our lives in the service of Him. Don't get caught up in the anxiety of giving, just love the feeling of knowing you are being an angel for your Savior. I love you so much! 

I am not sure about the whole phone call thing, btw we are able to use facebook now and so people might say something about that... I don't know how I feel about it yet. Transfers are next week.😬

Momma I love you! Don't forget it! Give Sunny a good love from me. 

Your daughter with love,

Week 11

Daddy! I love you :) yeah, Thanksgiving was weird for me too... but it was good. I was just as thankful as ever, maybe more so because I am starting to get a tiny glimpse of how much of my life was truly given to me. 

Dad, I want you to know you are a great man. I have really tried to hold firm to the saying "good better best, never let it rest, 'til your good is your better and your better is your best." I just began in Helaman and I am just blown away by the things I am learning in the Book of Mormon! Captain Moroni was awesome!!! He fought for liberty and agency and truth and righteousness. He reminds me of you actually :) What is your favorite story in the Book of Mormon right now? 

Just know that I love you dearly and I am sorry that I didn't tell you that more every time I saw you. You mean the world to me and every day I think of you telling me to always do my best and I try to be the kind of missionary that you would be proud to show Heavenly Father you had raised me to be. YOU'RE THE BEST! <3 I love you Dad,

Week 10

HEY MOM!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! So I opened the letter on thanksgiving and it made it a lot easier, I really did miss everyone. I tried to be tough and pretend I didn't but I did. It was really delicious though! 

Okay so seriously, this week was FULL of miracles. also, before I get to far in, you asked what I would like for Christmas, honestly if you could just send some lotion off of my dresser that would be great. Please don't buy anything. I really don't need or want anything, but I would really like to hear each day for the month of December what you gave to Christ that day :) 

okay so we had this cool experience where we learned about offering prayers at the door and it weirded me out but we decided to try it while teaching (tracting) and it was amazing!!!!!!!!! We have 5 potential investigators from it and 3 of them we set up appointments with! Please pray for them! Quyhn, Q, Shawn, Lucero, and Madalin, also, pray for Rayne. 

This coming week is going to be so great! So also, what would be a good thing to send Lexie for her birthday? is she expecting something big because I really have no idea what to do...

Anyway, I think about you every day and love you so much! Please give dad a kiss...
