Hola!
This week has been really good! Things are going well with my new
companion! She is so sweet and charitable. She's from Utah and has a
huge family. Her and all of her siblings are adopted which is cool. We
have been able to get to know well and she is super sweet and great
for being willing to get up and run with me every morning. This week
we got to go running in the rain with another companionship and it was
so fun!
We have had a pretty good week with our investigators but we had to
drop one of our top investigators, which is always sad. She has a
daughter on a mission and seemed like a golden investigator. She was
so prepared and willing to learn and meet with us often but then we
found out that she had some fears and insecurities that she wasn't
willing or even trying to overcome so it wasn't going to work out. We
had to let her go and give her some time but it'll all work out
eventually. We found a really cute family that we have started
teaching that is progressing well and we are super excited about them!
Today we had night pday because we got to go to Adam-ondi-ahman as a
VC, which was great! We went there and to far west and to Liberty
Jail. It was such a cool experience. The spirit was so strong. I love
all these sisters so much...
So I'm out of time... you can just pull things from my letter to you
and my letter to dad if you want to add more about that. Love you
lots!

Hey mom! I love hearing from you too!
My new companion is going well! She is really sweet. She is so nice to
get up early and run with me too. We woke up the other morning and
went running super early in the rain and it was really fun! Another
companionship got up and met us there as well. Super nice.
It is always so sweet when they want to send pictures to you. A lot of
people have been really nice lately and I have been able to take some
awesome people on tour. The other day I ended up talking to a couple
for seriously over 2 hours (because it was super slow and no one else
was in the VC and they wanted to just keep talking after their tour).
I definitely think that it has made me a much more social and outgoing
person. I know that this will be a huge benefit for me when I go home.
I think im turning even more into a mini Paige haha. Ya being at BYU
would be really fun but I am definitely learning and growing a lot
more here than I did at BYU. BYU will still be there when I get home
so Im not too worried about it. Sometimes it is hard to not reminisce
and think about things before the mish and things that will happen
after the mish but I try my best.
I am sure that you will do great at stake conference! I think the
hardest thing for you will just be to keep your talk in under 10
minutes haha. You are going to do great! When is it? Let me know how
it goes!
Love and miss you!
Hola papá! Cómo está? Suena como su última semana fue súper bien!
Si, tengo una nueva compañera y ella está muy amable. Ella está súper
simpática y dispuesta a despertarse muy temprano entonces podemos
correr en la mañana. Su español es muy bien y puede enseñarme mucho.
Es muy diferente que cuando estado con hermana González pero todavía
está bien. Está chistoso cuando hablamos en español porque soy súper
blanca y ella es... Otras personas no piensan que hablemos español.
Me gusta mucho cuando estoy sirviendo en el centro de visitantes
porque tengo muchas oportunidades para usarlo. Hay como cinco otras
hermanas en el centro de visitantes que hablan español también y hay
una que habla español para su idioma nativo. Ella es de Colombia. La
misma hermana jugó tenis a BYU antes su misión y su compañera jugó
voleibol profesional en Germany. Me gusta ellas mucho.
Tengo tiempo a enviar una parte de mi correo en español porque voy a
estar en un carro por mucho tiempo hoy. Vamos a Adam-ondi-ahman y Far
West hoy porque los directores del centro de visitantes siempre
muestran las misioneras nuevas la historia de este área. Salimos a las
7 en la mañana y vamos a regresar a las 5 y después tengo día (noche)
de preparación. Entonces no vamos a tener mucho de la obra misional
hoy pero tuve la oportunidad a sentir el espíritu mucho. Sé que mi
español no está muy bien (y usted puede corregirme si no tiene
sentido) pero no voy a aprender si no trato.
BUT now I am running out of time so I am going to switch to English.
Because we went to Adam-ondi-ahman today I have night p-day again. But
we just had time to email and grocery shop tonight.
That's good that moms stitches aren't bad anymore! I hope that it
doesn't leave too big of a scar.
Sounds like Jason has some good schools that he is applying to! That's
a great thing to pray and fast for. I know that it will definitely
help him to know what he should put on his application and help him to
have a clear mind about it all. He is a smart and dedicated kid and I
know that he can do it :) Love you all so much!
I am sure that mom will do an amazing job in stake conference. It will
be a challenge for her to speak in under 10 minutes but she will do a
great job haha! That is great!
That's fun that you got to see Celina at the temple. I didn't know
that she was even serving in Texas.
The ragnar is so close! That is so awesome! I will definitely have to
do some with you both when I get home. I am sure that you will both do
a great job!
The bench looks great! Mom is definitely really creative and talented
at that kind of stuff. It looks great! I remember when she made my bed
for me. That is awesome.
Ya lately, I don't know if it is because it is more slow or what, but
I have been getting a lot more people lately who have been wanting to
take pictures of me and send it to you. It is really sweet of them! I
have been able to meet some really cool people lately and have some
great tours and conversations.
It is so good to hear from you! Love you so much!
