Hey everyone,
sorry i didn't email earlier. i was in isolation. i got the flu and they put me on a floor me and my comp who was sick for 24 hours we got out this morning. it was a test for me for sure. i was praying to get along with my comp. i was praying for the ability to get along next thing i know i was put in a room to ourselves with only three people to talk to him, myself and god. it was a test for sure but i learned more about him. he isn't so much like tanner anymore. he was like him because he was forgetful and moves at his own pace. (i love you tanner) but anyway i had time to evaluate my experience here. to evaluate my work ethic. i have been slacking but no more. i haven't been lazy just not working my hardest. isolation wasn't to bad. cold showers cold food one room. one floor for the two of us. it felt like three days I'm so glad we were only in there for one. I'm not sure why they let us out. I'm still a little sick but feeling better. I'm not complaining they let me out. i love the fresh air.
anyway we got new teachers i haven't met them yet because of isolation but i here they are awesome. I'm going to miss my old teachers tho they were in credible. they pushed me and really cared for me. I'm sure they made incredible missionaries because well you could just tell.
lets see what else. it really isn't exciting here. the food is getting grosser my pants keep getting bigger and bigger the suit that i thought wasn't going to fit by the end of the mtc is close to falling off of me. i have lost at least 12 pounds. I'm so excited I'm going to weigh my self tomorrow. i really just had to stop drinking soda. it was so bad for me. i feel so much better since i haven't chugged it like i did. um what else. this is really boring I'm sorry. there hasn't been a whole lot of excitement since we got sick we had to cancel all our appointments to teach mock progressive investigators. i have been staying with my comp in the room before isolation because he was to tired to get up. then i got sick. and now i am here. this is so boring I'm really sorry haha.
I'm starting to think in Spanish in fact it is messing my English up. i cant spell anymore because either the Spanish comes to mind first or i try and spell it like i would in Spanish. it is getting pretty bad . i like it though.
I'm sorry i cant really respond to letter you wrote me i don't have them with me i didn't think i would be emailing right now. it has been so crazy the past day. p day was almost over. i didn't have time to do laundry. and now I'm emailing shortly before the temple. which i am so excited for.
i love you guys so much. being away has made me love you so much more then i could ever imagine. i pray for you every night and i know the lord is helping you with all your trails and challenges i know he answers prayers. he answered mine when i prayed for a warm shower. yeah I'm serious in isolation the showers were freezing so i prayed and knew he would help me. he did. it was awesome. pray to him for everything. if you have the faith he will answer your prayers he will. i can testify of that. he loves you so much and wants you happy. he can only make you happy if you believe he can.\
