Hey! Thanks for your email i loved it! It was really awesome to hear from you. Tell Sarah Im so sorry! And i will write her as soon as possible. I didnt remember where i put her address so thanks for sending it again. But this last week has been pretty crazy. We decided to drop some of our investigators cuz they werent really in it for the gospel, they just liked coming to activities and stuff. We asked them to be baptized and they flat out said no. So we will continue to be their friends but we arent gonna keep putting appointments with them. Cuz we have a few that are really progressing and feeling the spirit when we teach them and they wanna be baptized so we are trying to focus on them more. It sucks though, our best investigators are having some problems. We have baptismal dates with this lady and 3 of her children but the dad doesnt want to get baptized and doesnt really support her in it. And also they arent married. And he doesnt really wanna get married. I dont know whats up with that. But we are just having faith that we can get it all resolved before the baptismal date next month. Also another thing we are working on! There is this family that got baptized about a year ago and they are a little less active and we are trying to get them reactivated and to the temple. So we talked about eternal families. And they said they dont wanna get sealed and that they dont love each other! What in the heck? It blew my mind! Why would they be married and have a family if they dont love each other? Its just a hard situation. But they are a really nice family! I enjoy visiting with them. But yeah things are great! Oh! You all better not take things for granted! It is so crazy how differently we live and how much better we have it. Its crazy to see how humble these people live and how they are happy with what they have even though its next to nothing. So � � � just thank the Lord for how blessed we are. Coming here and seeing the difference has definately changed my perspective. Also! Yall better be reading your scrips and praying everyday! It is crazy how much my testimony of the Book of Mormon and of prayer have been strengthened. Its just super important! Its definately blessed me so much already. So i encourage you all to start if you havent already! Haha. Oh and actually i can email Sarah if she emails me! So you can tell her to. But anyways i gotta go. I love you all so much! I hope you all are doing great. I cant wait to hear from all of you. Im missing all of you so much! I cant wait to have moms food again..... Hahaha thats one of the things that i miss almost as much as you guys ;) hahaha anyways i love you!�
