Your letters this week seriously
helped me. It’s nice to hear that you guys are doing so well. (Obviously nobody
is at 100%, but it seems as if we are all doing better.) For me I will say,
that things have been getting a little bit harder... It is not easy to be away
from you guys... Sometimes I dream about being able to receive a letter from
the prophet that says I’m allowed to go home, but I quickly remind myself that
the last letter I got from the prophet said I was supposed to be here, and I am
supposed to be here for 24 months. I will also say that my mission president and
companion are great people. Obviously there is a limit to the support they can
lend, President Msane is often times very busy, but I can tell that he has
still made an effort to check in on me. And my companion has gone through
tragedy as well, being from Rwanda, his family was involved in some of the
conflicts over there. That is something to talk more on when we are all at home
though. Sometimes I feel as if I am meant to experience these pains on my own
and the thought weighs heavily on my soul. But I know that although I am alone
here (besides the great people that I have gotten to know over the past two
months) I am never actually alone. My greatest source of comfort has come from
the scriptures. I have been enlightened time and time again with the teachings
that come from it. But along with the scriptures, I have been putting a butt
load of time into reading Jesus the Christ. That book it literally the best
book on earth.. And I love the messages that you guys sent me, Dad, especially
the one about Alma 32, and Mom, that quote was seriously great. It was so nice
to be able to be informed on all the happenings at home, I will continue to
pray for our family! ALSO I AM SO FLIPPIN' JEALOUS OF YOU GUYS GETTING TO MEET
UCHTDORF! That is so cool! He seems taller than I thought he would be? ...
