oh my goodness!! lol  that picture at the end is crazy!! Seems like
there will be a lot more missionaries in the field!!  That is actually
something I have learned with the work and the conversion is that when
they understand their part as people in this new world everything goes
much smoother and the progression is faster.  It was pretty much the
same with me as well is when I understood really my part and what I
could do to help it helped me know that God NEEDED me and not just
complete with a list of things to do.  I've come to know happiness more
and how it comes.  I've learned so many thing and I would never change
anything.  I've tried focusing on loving more and helping and looking
for when I can become better.  I've come to realize that I still have a
ton of pride that I'm still trying to weave out of my system and become
more like Christ.  This week I had many different answers from God and
one is we were teaching a lesson to a family that we had.  As we
finished I started to play with their little kid for a bit and as we
played he looked up at me in the eyes and said never forget about God.
A little confused for the response, I asked what.  He said the same
and went about running and playing.  As I was meditating that moment
in the night I came to understand why I am who I am and why I act as I
do.  I started to understand that its God who changes us and molds us.
That its through Him that we leave behind our pride and come unto
God.  I  sometimes feel like God has much mercy for us as people with
all our errors and mistakes.  However I am as well filled with joy
knowing God blesses us and loves us more then we understand.  I am
filled with joy to know what I do, and for that I am happy.  I'm not
worried about being the best of everyone, and not sad if I don't win...
lol all I care is what God thinks of me.  Because I know if I do what
pleases Him nothing else matters.  That he will guide me as he did
Nephi when he was building the arc and even though it didnt seem to be
built like men think in the end it was marvelous and perfect.  That is
what I've learned from God this week is that we should never despair,
its always worth the fight.  Because true happiness comes from him.

Im glad to hear that all is well with you all and that your happy.  I
am happy to know that we can be together forever through God's plan.  I
miss you guys a ton and hope you know I love each and everyone of you
so much.  I hope you are enjoying life just as much as I am! love ya!!
