No Visa October 6, 2010

Hey everyone!!!!!!
How are you doing? Can you believe that I have been here for 8 weeks? I can't it has felt like nothing really. I"m so excited to leave here. I'm so excited to go and help people. Connor wrote me and said he is speaking Spanish in Texas, Forth Worth mission. He loves it. He is teaching 4 progressive invets. I'm so jealous that he is gone, but guess what! I didn't get my visa, so I got reassigned guess where! Come on guess. I'm going to... I don't know yet ha ha. I find out tonight or tomorrow. So I will be calling home Friday, (don't forget). Sometime around 6 ish, if this is a problem write me and tell me a good time. I am pretty flexible and my comps understand. We are all going to find a good time for each of us even if we have to do it separate times. Anyway, we had our last meeting with Josue. We taught him the plan of salvation and it went pretty good but not perfect. We couldn't find a way to apply it to him other then the atonement will help you in your trials and he said that he really doesn't have any trials and didn't express and concerns. Oh well. We got him to pray often and keep reading the Book of Mormon. So some success. We teach a guy named Daniel. He is tough. He is an investigator that you probably wouldn't go back to teach. When you show up at his "house" class room really, he says he is too busy but you just stay stubborn and he lets you in. Then, he gets talking we start to teach and then he says "what do you know? How old are you?" and what not. Next time we teach we are going to talk about tithing and fast offerings and what not because he doesn't believe you are a disciple of Christ unless you show love for your fellow men. So I have thought of some examples of charity our family has done and charity we have received and things we have seen. Then talk about why I am on my mission, the ultimate service and sacrifice I can do in my life. Hopefully, it goes well. Please pray for me to be patient with him. My temper flares when he bashes me. Big surprise right? Que mas? Conference was amazing. I love it so so so much. We left at one thirty for salt lake. We got there and went into the little theater they have and practiced and watched a little bit of the afternoon session. We had a snack practiced some more. Then, went into the big room. We practiced once and sat down. All the members of the seventy were all turned around at the start smiling at us and just looking so proud of us. Then, when we started to sing one by one, all of the seventy and some of the apostles, I think started to turn around and watch us instead of the T.V. screen. It felt so incredible, when all the missionaries were asked to stand. I started to cry cause I knew that all around the world an army of believers were standing shoulder to shoulder along with the general authorities to bring to pass god's work and his glory. To bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. It was so wonderful. I loved President Uchtdorf's talk on focusing on the important things in times of strife. I think that has been a problem for me while I have been here. I thought the harder I worked the faster I got through it. It was so nice to hear that I can slow down here but still work hard. Makenna I'm so glad to hear you scored a goal in soccer. guess what, I scored one too. Pretty much everyday ha ha. But I play goalie a lot too. My body is bruised from soccer and volley ball and diving on the ground, but it is fun. Jon I haven't heard from you in a while, but I love you lots, keep up the good work. You are wonderful and have a lot of potential. tanner I was so glad to hear about band. You are amazing and your determination will help you in the mission field and I still think it is weird you are driving so..... stop. Alli keep up the good work at school. Be patient in everything. You are the best older sister I could have hoped for, thank you. Mom and dad I love you so much. I am doing well and working hard. I love you so much. I love your love for me and the gospel. You are the reason I love this. I know that I would not have done will if it weren't for your unending support for me. I am out of time. Let the WHOLE family know I am doing better, and thank them for the letters the sent. I'm going to write them too, so just eif you see them tank them for me.
I love you so so so much, all of you.

Love
