I love you all so much and am so greatful for you all and you support. Dad the reason why I wrote last week on Tuesday is because we went to the temple on Tuesday so when we get to go to the temple (which is every 4 and a half months) we have Prepartation Day on the temple day which was Tuesday last week. But It sounds like everyone is busy at home and I am glad to hear everyone is getting back into sports and getting ready for school. Also I bet going to go see BYU play will be so much fun and a great trip back to Tennessee.
The field is awesome and we have two baptismal dates right now for August 28th and these people are so wonderful and I have truly come to love them so quickly and I know it is because of the service being done for them. The language is going pretty well. I can teach and conversate some what and all in spanish but I have a long way to go with understanding, pronunciation and just knowing the language better but it is going well though. I love the spanish and my companion is awesome. He is from Mexico so he helps me a ton and as well as the language he works hard and teaches well. We are both on the same page with being exactly obedient and working hard and we get along pretty well. This is his last transfer so he is working hard and not trunky at all which is a blessing for me. I am just trying to make sure that he has no regrets when he leaves by us working the hardest we can.
The mission is awesome! I am constantly tired and constantly working and it is such a blessing. We see miracles everyday in the field and sometimes they are bigger than others but I know this is the work of the Lord because He is guiding us in it. I invite you to look for the miracles in you life because even though some times small we have them in all of our lives every day and we need to recognize them and give thanks to the Lord for them. Always try to share the gospel and help out the missionaries in our ward when ever you can. I have come to realize that we teach as the missionaries and the Holy Ghost testifies but it is the members that really transition the investigators to members or retain them. Even when people know it is true it is so hard for them to change there life and take this step but when they feel that love from the members and really truly have friends in the ward to rely on they are so much more ready to take these major steps and be baptized and change their lives. The members are so important. I know that you already do so much for the missionaries but I just wanted you all to know just how important you really are. I love you so much and I am so greatful for you examples and support you give to me. I know this Church is true with all my heart and I love you all so much. Be good and always keep praying. You are always in my prayers. I love you.
