I honestly love seeing so many pictures! It is the best moment when I get to see all of your smiling faces! You should probably send an updated family pic so I can show people how cute my family is!
Clark is home! That is so great! I am so amazed at how much the family has changed in so little time! So many babies and so much more! I bet Clark´s talk was amazing! I have come to know a few of his friends here in the mission. They are all going to be reunited soon too.
I loved the pictures of you guys with the Toone's! Hermana Toone showed me a picture that her parents sent too. I love how the mission unites people in every place! Hermana Toone is great! She reminds me so much of McKenna and I feel like I am serving the mission with my sister. (Note from Mom, Caitlin's companion's mom and I connected on the mission Facebook page. They are from Mesa Arizona and were in Cedar City for the Shakespeare Festival and we were able to meet up with them. It was great!)
This week I feel like I have learned so much! I know that I am supposed to teach people but I felt like everyone was teaching me this week. The members, converts, and investigators are all so inspired by the spirit that they help me learn what I need to do in this moment.
I think I finally have learned what you wanted me to, Mom. I realized that before I came on the mission I had a hard heart. Like a heart covered in layers of concrete from past experiences. Being on the mission I have had hard times that have chipped away the concrete little by little. My heart is now a part of this work and I know how the gospel can help the people. My companions are my friends, the ward members are my family, and I feel myself connecting with the people that I meet in the streets. It is true that we are all part of this Family of God. We are all working together to get back to His presence, and this means working the best that we can, now! I have repented for everything that I did before the mission but I know that it has helped me more than ever in THIS MOMENT! We only have today ONCE so we must make it the best!
Thank you so much for the pictures, letters, prayers, and support!
I love you so much!,
