Trainer??

Mom,
Oh and about Livi wanting to be a vet.... awesome. Do me a small tiny favor and maybe somehow plant in her mind the idea that her brother might not actually be a vet... lets just say my plans on the mission have changed like crazy, you will laugh when i tell you what a want to go into... but i will save that conversation for mothers day!

Well on to Florida! THis week was crazy! I am confident that i experienced just about every emotion possible: From an incredible zone conference, to receiving the news that i will be training next transfer, to an incredible lesson, and then on to an absolute lack of lessons, i honestly felt it all this week. Seriously, we only have 2 investigators right now. ANd they are both super ify.

I have kind of reached a wall though. It has taken a lot of work, but i am starting to like my comp a lot, (and just like always, now he is transfered), but he talks a lot, and believe it or not but i am becoming shy! I realized though i cannot improve, in spanish or in testimony, unless i throw myself out there and try more. I will get that opportunity to speak next transfer... it should be interesting! ha!

I am doing good though. The realization i came to yesterday is that to become to missionary i want to, i am going to have to do a lot of work. I am willing to do that, but i dont know how, thankfully, as a missionary we are promised an aabundance of the spirit, and so that should be the guide that i need! This will be a tough, frustrating transfer, but i am sure it will be one of the transfers where i grow the most.

THanks for all you do! Thanks for the love and support, and for allowing me to make this sacrafice. I know blessings have a will come, and i know that these two years will completely effect the outcome of my life. I want to be able to say, when i come home, that i really came to know who the Savior is. I love the power that comes from Him.

Have a wonderful week! Keep praying and reading the scriptures!

I love you!

Dad,
wow you certianly had an eventful week! Hospital runs, house projects and masterclass? How do you do it all? im impressed.

I have recently come to the conclusion that time is always working against us. I am really enjoying the chance i have to studying the gospel daily, but the problem is there is not enough time to study everything i want to learn! How many times in my life have i honestly been able to say i want to study? not many. lol

Thanks for the line of authority! I am pretty excited to have that! QUestions... who are the people on the paper? Is that Jack L Smith the same Jack L Smith i know? just wondering? (No it is not the Jack L. Smith from Wenatchee-Chuck-)

Dad i am so sorry i never was really willing to help around the house. It was a lot of learning opportunities that i lost, but i promise that when i get back, if we are still in that house, i will be your's around the house. And if we build a new house, then i call all the landscaping ok?

This week was a little overwhelming. I found out next transfer i will be training a new missionary. Im not sure how i feel about that, but it officially means that i will be learning the language! ha! No to be honest i feel very incapable right now, but thats ok, it just means i am praying more.

Have a wonderful week! Work hard, but please dont miss the chance to notice a sunset or two, or pray or read the scriptures... etc.

love you dad, and thanks for your loving example for me!
