Family how are you all doing? I am doing great just feeling a little wierd because I am gonna go back out AND WORK!!!! whoo hoo!!! haha I am pretty excited about it because President was thinking the same thing that I should go out and be in the field with the missionaries and work with them rather than just train them all of the time and I am so excited because I am going to one of the best sectors in the entire mission and will just be able to work and talk to everyone and their dogs about the Gospel and thats why Im here, im not here to sit in an office and train missionaries. haha it was fun, I wouldnt trade it for the world but I just like working in a ward a lot more. So I am pretty excited. But some bad news, my pday is going to go back to mondays, so you wont hear from me until the next monday, this monday no, the next monday. So it will be about 10 days before you hear from me, I will be doing some good work by then , so wish me luck. President didnt have us help him with the changes this time so I don´t even know where I´m going actually but the last thing he told me was that I was going to go to the ward Rimac 1. And it is amazing up there, I have done a couple work visits and you can just talk with everyone on the hills. And he told me that I would probably be a District Leader, and so I am super excited to have a lot less responsability. I will probably only have 4 Elders in my district. haha I go from having 198 missionaries under my belt, to 4, sounds great to me. haha but really everyone will still be watching me, its not like I am leaving the mission, they will still remember that I was assistant and that I need to give them a good example. But I am super excited. It is actually really common in our mission to only be assistant for a couple changes, because it isnt like Blakes mission where he gets to travel and all that it is alot simpler here in Lima so President Tyler is just trying to change a lot of things up in the mission because a lot of missionaries are in a Routine. Dad do you remember how I used to always come home from school and you would ask me how my day was and I used to always say, "Routine". That is what we try to avoid here in the mission because once the missionaries fall into a routine they don´t love what they do, they forget how to do the job right, they dont give it their all because they dont enjoy the work. So we are just trying to do alot of different things this next change that is coming up and I am excited to be able to help from the field. And I hope that I can drop all this wieght that I have gained here in the offices. But it is alot different actually putting into practice now all that I have trained the Elders to do but I did it before so I can do it again. Just pray for me that I will have the desire to just work hard and share the Gospel with everyone. Wish me luck these last 4 months that I can give it my all to end strong. I feel a strong desire to end strong.. But it still hasn´t hit me yet that really I dont have a lot left. All of the members ask me how much time I have left and I say 4 months and they always say "O le falta poco" that is you dont have very much left. haha and it still doesnt hit me. But at the same time I still have a lot left so we will just go for it.
Thanks mom for the great pictures of lacie, I cant believe that she is hanging in there for me.. She still looks good though. And that you got to go down to St. George. So I have applyed to a couple schools and alot of letters are gonna be coming from all of them, you can open them and read them for me. I think that a letter from Weber state will be coming to the house telling me that i have to send in my transcript from northridge, if so you could just talk to Diane Larkin and she will know what to do, it costs a dollar. Thanks mom. Don´t worry about me I will be just fine and I am super excited to get back out and work. I will let you know how it goes. O ya some other bad news, we went to take pictures with the llama that day but it was closed and so they told us to come back on tuesday and it was a day of a counsil the we had with the zone leaders so we got there late and it was closed again. Sorry mom I tried two times for you :(
Dad sounds like you are loving it... sometimes.... haha just keep working hard but don´t forget what is really important, like those feelings that you have in the st. George temple. Just try to always have those feelings and I will too. Your doing a great job and just enjoy it, don´t fall into that routine, do it because you love it...
Tory, Tammie, Branik, Brixston: Thanks tamm for the update you are the best, well we are both going back to work, our fun days are over now, it is time to work..
