Dear Family
The field is wonderful and I love the mission life. It is super hard but I know that I am here for a reason and that the great joy I get to experience comes with a price. I love you all so much and am glad the reunion went so well. I adressed this email to everyone so I hope you all get it. I thought Dad was forwarding them and I forgot to tag on everyone else so that is my fault. I will be sending more pictures soon and I found I can email them so I will probably do that next week. Spanish is coming a long very well and I get to speak it all the time with my companion which is SO helpful. Sarah get the agua fresca next time and tell Doug I said congrats!!! I am striving so hard every day to be exactly obedient so that I can be the best missionary I can be. All through life I always tried to give my best in sports and school but less than 100% was often enough to get by and even do really well but I have realized that anything less than 100% effort 100% of the time is not going to be good enough and will just be a waste if time and money for me to be here. I know that as I am striving to be better and overcome these difficulties the Lord is helping as I reach out to Him. I am so greatful for prayer and know that when we do all we can no matter how much or how little that is, the Lord will make up the rest.
I hope all is going well at home and I would love to get a family reunion shirt sent out to me some time if you have one for me but if not it is ok and please also I talked to mom about sending me a picture of our family outside the temple at DC after we were sealed. So if I could get the picture soon for sure and the shirt too if possible that would be great. I love you all so much and keep you in my prayers all the time. I miss you all a ton but I am very focused on the work. Please don't mistake that for a lack of care. I am trying very hard to contact everyone that is emailing me but if I don't right a away I am sorry. I love you all soooo much. Pray daily, read the scriptures and listen to Mom and Dad. I love my mission and California and my companion so much and am so greatful for all you support, love, letters and prayers.
