so idk if i have told you about my zone at all, but in my zone all of the languages we have are polish, bulgarian, croatian, czech, and turkish, so we are all eastern europe and a few are headed farther south, so thats all for language. im sure that the house is quiet, but just think, you are going to blink and there i will be again, im already in month 2 and i have less than 100 weeks left already. I know that i am loved by everyone in the family, thank you for telling me that, it is very comforting to know that i am so loved, by my earthly family and my heavenly family. Strangely i am losing weight. ive already had to tighten my belt up a notch, so i have that going for me, which is nice (movie quote). yes i received both packages and i shared my manna from heaven (bible quote) with my wonderful zone and they were very happy that i shared my spoils. Our sisters are getting better and better, we are becoming friends as a district now it is so nice. well i want to share something with you momma kinda like my testimony, in english this time. the last two devotionals we have had have grown my testimony. On sunday we had Josh Wright who is an insanely good piano player, he has played at carnegie hall and a few other prestigious places, and what he was playing just taught me that music is a sure fire thing that will always be with you, you can always sing in your head and that hymn will drive away bad thoughts instantly and fill your heart with the spirit. the tuesday night devotional was taught by Elder Andersen of the 12. he taught on nothing but the Holy Ghost and it was incredible. it just proved to me that the most important thing we can have with us is the spirit of the lord, it doesn't matter our level of knowledge or spiritual experiences, if you have the spirit, people will feel it and see it. Thank you for everything you have done for me Momma, i love you.

hey dad,
well im glad to hear that the world is still spinning on without me knowing haha. i love it here so much, i really thought that i knew how to teach before i got here, but i had no idea whatsoever, everyday i am learning so much about how important the little things are, and its amazing how putting together all those little things will lead people into this amazing church forever. my testimony has grown exponentially everyday that i am here, but the most growth has happened in two specific areas: the Holy Ghost and music. everyone here seems to be learning something that is going to change their lives forever, and mine so far has been what i just mentioned. All our teachers have really talked about has been teaching by the spirit, that it doesnt matter what we say at all, our words don't do anything for the investigator, all we are are vessels of the spirit, that it is much more important for us to always have the spirit than anything else at all. and about music, that music instantly invites the spirit, no matter where you are or what you are doing, a hymn in your head will calm you down and the spirit will reside in your heart. well i dont mean to sound preachy haha but i just love this work so much and i want to share it with everyone. i know that when cache and hayden went into the MTC they tried to convert us and we made fun of it, but none of us are truly converted yet, and all of us are working on it still, and the most important convert that you can have is yourself. i love you dad, i promise when i get home i will mow the lawn for you again.
love,
