Hi, Mom. I loved your letter and I was so excited to hear about Jim and Becky getting engadged (I have no idea how to spell that) and, o my heavens! Cassandra is going to have her little baby boy! Hot dog! ha ha. I feel very happy.
Well, I feel weird about saying this on Friday I will have been a full-time missionary for two years. I remember a little bit about before starting. I thought that this would be eternal. Unfortunately I am finding out that my current full-time mission service is shockingly final.
Thanks for what you've written and I will try to put it into practice. This week we weren't able to see Jesus much because it was the ending week of "Semana Santa" which is a pretty big celebration. We were able to see Carlos, Rocio's husband and talk to him for a bit.
We've been street contacting a lot more, so we've met a lot of really nice people and a few crazy people! Ha ha. On Saturday we had a "seminary" with our mission president. He talked about the importance of working with members, and contacting people. We then left and contacted. I got to see three of my former companions. That was a very fun experience.
After seminary, we got back to our area, and our three appointments fell through. So we were a little disappointed, but then I remembered that our ward had gone to the temple and wouldn't get back until Sunday morning (the temple is about ten hours away in bus). That meant that no one was going to clean the chapel. So we got out the cleaning equipment and we got to business. The bishop showed up and was very grateful for our help.
This week I have really been trying to focus on others and think about them. I'm not very good at it. I have also been trying to strengthen my testimony of Jesus Christ. I have also been trying to treat my companion well and help him. He is a great companion. I am glad that we are going to be companions for two transfers.
Well, I love you, Mom. Thanks for your letters. I really appreciate your advice and your insights. When is Mother's Day and at what time do you prefer that I Skype? or do you just want to wait until I get home? I hope you have a wonderful week!
I love you!
