January 7, 2013

I really enjoyed those pictures you sent! I laughed hard when I saw Jameson! I don't know how he does it, he is always in the right place at the right time! How much training did he get? Or was it all "natural"? :) I'm not going to say anything about the friendgirls, I know I'll jinx something...
I laughed super hard at Dad's email too, about Dwight always eating snow, and having his "present" freeze to the road, haha! So I'm guessing y'all got hit hard over there. We have had some cold days. Mainly winter weather is freezing winds, hot sun, and occasionally rain. Not really fun winter weather. We've been driving around mostly.
This week went slow, I had lots of time to study, so I've been able to read much in the BoM and also the new book we got, Teachings of Lorenzo Snow. I've already fell in love with both! It seems as if time here was at a stand still. I have plateaued, but finally have been able to break it recently. It's difficult to learn when your pride takes hold and you assume you know all you can about what we need to do here. I have learned lots about the Holy Ghost, and also learned how much I don't know! I'm thankful that things are turning around.
Transfers are next week, I'm pretty sure I'm staying and my comp is going. I'm hoping that President sends a certain missionary to be my companion here, I'd say his name, but y'all don't know who he is... :) We have an interview with him today, so I will find out! There are big changes that are going to start next week. The-18-year-olds will start to come out, and the billions of sisters! This new year will be eventful! We didn't do much for New Years Eve. We ate dinner at a member's house, and had to be inside our apartment right after. I wanted to go throw fireballs with members going to Eufaula, but I knew that the President wouldn't let us. We'll have to do that when I get home!
That would be awesome if Coree started to become active and open to the spirit. I get excited when I think about being able to teach a lesson at home when I get back. Then when I think of it, it might be pride talking and the spirit will leave.... it's all in my intentions at the moment, we'll see!
Thanks for the Emails and the Love y'all show to me, and each other! Till next week! :) Love you!
PS, tell Jameson I'm sorry for saying he was sarcastic when we skyped, it's been bugging me. I realized afterward that he was super tired...thanks!
