Letter to DAD

Dad,
That is so so cool about the World Cup. We really get updates every two seconds ahhahaa. Just so you know, you would love church here. It is so short. It is supposed to start at 8:30 but always starts at 9 and ends at like 11:15 lol. It's super funny. Also, problems in the ward are getting resolved i guess. My comp said members didn't really talk to her and her old comp, but now they offer to help us all the time and talk to us a lot. She says it's because I have a nice smile and an inviting face, lol, but she just keeps saying how grateful she is I'm here and that this ward needs me. It makes me feel really good.

I am super proud of you dad I hope everything is going good with work and stuff. I know thats a big step for you. Mom mentioned a mission, that would be so cool for you guys. You guys are just amazing and I am glad we are both adjusting to big new things together! Change hurts, but it is where we grow. I have already figured that out here. Reading my journal from the mtc and even my first few days in the field has proved that. I have grown so so much already, and it's the hard times that have done it. My mission president told me something really comforting because i told him in our first interview that i was scared i just like it here because my comp is good, and he said he is fairly confident that the mtc will be my lowest point in the mission. not because i wont have hard times, but because i will be strong enough to deal with them. It's the same in life right! We are strong enough to deal with the hard stuff that comes our way. EL PROPOSITO DE LA VIDA! learn, grow, change, improve, all in hopes of becoming like Christ. When i get stressed here, i just think, what do i have to do right now?. Sometimes it's i have to get up, sometimes it's i have to smile through this lunch appointment, contact this house, etc., but after I do that one thing I feel really proud and I can keep going. I offer the same advice to you. in your assignments just take things one step at a time, try not to think too hard about the scary stuff up ahead. You know way more than me about dealing with life and stuff but i wanted to share that. I love you so much dad! Thanks for your example.

Thats awesome about your weight. i will be gaining those ten pounds by the end of these three months.hehe

Love you!
