HELLO!!!!!!!!
this last week has been a very very long week. after getting out of isolation. we had huge contention in our companionship fighting over just about everything. ( I think it was because of lack of sleep) but anyway all that happened we went to bed and i didn't sleep at all i was coughing blowing my nose all night long. the next day i went back to the doctors cause i felt worse. ya sucks trust me i know. he suggested i go back to isolation. so i did for another day. i met an elder named elder chapel we got along really well but i slept quite a bit this time around. i got let out the next day again only fearing that i would feel worse again the next day. well i did feel worse but it was because i cant sleep. so my branch president told me to sleep when i needed. it has helped a lot I'm feeling a little better but I'm pretty sure i keep coughing up a lung and having to put it back in sometimes.
the contention in our trio was solved to we all sat down together and had comp inventory( which pretty much means fix your problems with each other) we talked it all out said what bothered us and all promised to work on things.
Before this tho i talked to my zone leader about it elder donnor, i love him, and he looked at me and said maybe it is you that has the problem that needs to be fixed. he asked me when we did comp inventory to swallow my pride(you guys know how stubborn i am) and change. i did just that. i humbled myself and said that i would work on the things that bothered them and after all of that they thanked me for my willingness to change to help them. that caused them to want to help me as much as possible. it was really good. we work a lot better now.
Spanish is coming along very well. it took leaps and bounds this week. i taught three lessons in Spanish (all lesson one (the restoration)) and i got taught 4 or 5 lessons in Spanish. the other district in my zone taught me a bunch. i have them teach me for my language study. instead of studying Spanish i do Spanish i like it a lot more and it helps me out a bunch.
I'm sorry i don't write home more then just my email pday is one of the worst days here because everything is so rushed I'm going to try and get time to write everyone a letter before i leave the mtc. i love you so much and wish i could write everyday but it is against the rules and I'm trying so hard to be 100% obedient.
i would have loved a subway sandwich and chicken salad sounded amazing the day it came. however i don't pick up my own mail. My district leader has to. so i cant check it all day looking for the food to come. and it is mtc policy anything that comes through the mail system that needs to be refrigerated or kept warm needs to be thrown away. especially if i comes through the mail like it has been. they don't know if it has been in a hot truck for hours or just a few minutes so they go through the packages that come from the service you sent it through to check so the missionaries don't get sick. i love you so much that you are trying to feed me. and im sad that it didn't work out ( i was really upset the second time, my whole district had to calm me down) but i am OK. I'm losing weight because im praying for help. i don't drink soda i don't eat desserts (mainly cause they aren't all that good) and because of this control I'm losing weight. it isn't because I'm not eating. i eat every meal. i promise mom.
i got your tape and bawled the whole time. i miss all of you so much. i will start working on the tape when i can control my cough a little more. it sounds gross. haha. i never thought that i would miss tanner playing the piano. strange right? i miss the chaos of home. i really do. i love you all so much. however i have noticed all of you (except for jon)(JK) have grown up a lot.
mom i am sorry about your work stuff i really didn't understand it all that much i don't know all your PTC LMNOP stuff are it is over my head. i know scriptures tho. feel free to talk about those haha. i am doing well. i am getting better slowly but surely. i have enough junk food in my room to feed all of the army of helaman. (haha you know you are a missionary when....you crack that joke) the oreos are so good. elder johnson helped me finish the ooey gooey mix he loved it. and i still have tons of food left. What do you want me to do with the cooler and the containers? i cant attempt to send them home when i send the tape. just let me know. mommy i love you so much. i know i am doing the right thing tho. i know like it says in D&C 31 my family will be blest in this time of service. please be safe and help the family be safe. i promise i am a big boy now and can take care of myself however the lord is taking care of me more then you or i can imagine. continue to pray for me. i pray for you always. i love you.
all of you please be safe. please work hard. please continue to draw close to the savior. in alma 37:44 it says it is easy to live the gospel. remember that don't make it harder to come to Christ then it really is. i love you all so much.
PS brit left a week or so ago i got to say good bye the night before. connor is still here and we have the same meal times so we talk a lot.
i love you all so much be safe please.
Love your son and brother and friend.
