Thanks for writing me everyone!!! I
love the Star Wars analogies and the Niners updates. Thanks Dad and Grandpa!
So yesterday, I had a pretty cool
experience that I wanted to share with you guys. I was reading in my
patriarchal blessing when I started thinking about some people I love. I
decided to say a little prayer and ask Heavenly Father to bless them. After my prayer, I felt
that everything was going be just fine. It was as if something told me.... don’t
worry, it’s coming, everything will be alright.... It was kind of the same type
of thing that I felt when I prayed to know if the Book of Mormon was true in
the MTC. I knew it was true, but I needed a firmer testimony. I also felt
something telling me to read in Enos but I didn’t know why so I opened it up my
scriptures and turned to Enos and I read some verses. I believe verse 10 when it says "I will visit thy
brethren in their diligence in keeping my commandments." just that little
part comforted me. I believe, we just need to stay consistent and God will
provide. Just keep being a good girl/boy and leave the rest to Heavenly Father.
So, just know that Gods is always thinking about you and will always be there
for you. We need to learn to trust in Him.
I also cannot believe that Dee ends
his mission today!!! Insane. I can’t believe that my mission is coming to an
end either. I need to take advantage of the time I have and leave it all out on
the field. I love this work, but it is WORK!
I love you all!

(Josh’s Mom: these are a few of the
questions I asked Josh today)
1. How is the apartment search going??
good! we're just doing the paperwork
now!
2. How's the weather there?
hottt!! but it's nice because at
night it cools off!
3. What's the funniest thing that happened this week?
we played football and we were
laughing our heads off. SOOOO FUNNNNNN
4. High?
FHE (Family Home Evening) with Samantha, Antonella and
Samira. a new family were teaching!!!!!
5. How are the new shoes??
so good, so far!
6. Tell me more about your new area?
ummmm... it’s all dirt roads, but a
truck comes by every couple hours and waters the streets, so there isn’t so
much dust. The people are usually nice and the members are super great. They
support us a lot.
7. How is everything going with washing your clothes? How
long does it take? What is the process?
ughhhh i don’t really like it! We
have a little bucket and you fill it up with water, put soap and bleach in it,
then put the clothes in it and mix it around for a min. Then you go back at
night and mix it around and scrub the dirty places like the necks, under arms,
etc. then we rinse it out and then hang it up. Pretty simple.
8. How far is the grocery store? How often do you go? What
do you buy?
We go every Monday. I buy milk and
cereal and fruit. that’s it!
9. How do you like being on bikes? (I loved that story you shared about you falling in the park,
I'm glad you're ok though)
I love it! We get everywhere fast
and my shoes aren’t getting destroyed.
