Hey!

This week, before I forget, was good.

First of all, I have finally started to read those family histories that you sent me in my mission binder and it is awesome. I can definitely feel the spirit of Elijah working within me. Before, I always thought of family history as an enormous bore but as I have started to read those family histories I have felt my testimony grow a lot. We have the enormous blessing to come from ancestors who have always been members of the church and to read about my own great, great, great, great (I figured it out. There really are that many "great"s) grandpas and grandmas and their testimonies demonstrated by the way that they lived their lives. Right now, I don´t have time to do anything but after my mission I am excited to start to do some family history work.

Also, even though this week was great, it was also kind of stressful. On Wednesday I really started feeling the stress and it was just ridiculous. I don´t know if I have ever been that stressed in my life. So on Thursday morning I was just going through and putting scriptures in my scripture memorizing notebook that you guys gave me and I started to just read some of the whole chapters. And I felt that my soul was being filled by the scriptures. Where before there had been uncertainty and doubt and a little bit of fear, was replaced by a righteous self-confidence and courage to go on. It was a great experience actually. It was like the scriptures were actually speaking to my soul personally. And it happened again yesterday in Sunday School when they were talking about Jacob 2. It was a good experience.

I still haven’t had the interview with the president. It is scheduled for this coming Wednesday (in two days).

Also, the gloves that you sent in my birthday box was great. They work awesome. Now when I shake peoples´ hands, they don´t tell me that I have cold hands. And I am also loving the chocolate and the jerky. Delicious. And I also love the little scripture action figures of Moroni and a stripling warrior. And the head warmers! Shoot! I love them so much. I sleep with them every night because my area gets pretty chilly at night time and so they help a lot. And there are some more stuff but I can´t remember and I want to talk about more stuff.

And that is awesome that Cullen´s dad is finally getting baptized! What great news!

And the release date is going to be 24ish of October. So I still have like 7ish months left.

But hey! I have to go.

Love you guys! Thank you for your prayers

Love
