May 11, 2015

Hola Familia :) I still can’t believe I actually talked to you guys yesterday!!! It was so good to see you all (besides Sam :()!! I love my family so much!! I always feel like I have millions of things to say to you guys but then when writing time or skyping time comes my mind goes blank!
This week was really good! It’s been really fun to have Elders here in the same ward. It’s been a lot of help with teaching everyone that we want to. 
So this last Monday after I wrote you guys I went to the mission office to pick up a few things we needed and the assistants found me and said that they needed to talk to me :/ scared me half to death. Na but he just told me that the next day I needed to be in the mission office again because I’m going to be the retention person for the new west mission. So I got to go to the meeting for all the leaders of the mission. It was a very eye opening experience. I got to learn A LOT!! President Wilkinson is the best mission president ever!!! He is a very blunt person. And calls us out pretty hard.. but with love :) He started off by asking why everyone seemed so nervous. This month was rough in the mission so everyone was scared to show him their numbers. So he went on to explain that he is just a weak man and that we should not fear him but should have feared God every night when we finished the day and didn’t accomplish our goals. I learned the importance of always having in mind our monthly goals, weekly goals, daily goals, and hourly goals. It was an amazing meeting and so fun to see a few people from the mtc. 
Carolinia is doing sooo well. Her baptism is next week. She really is such an angel. It was so funny because this last Monday I planned for us to have a family night in a members house with her. The member is about the same age as her and I think she is a little interested. So when it was all over the member dropped us all off but obviously dropped her off last. Smarty :) And today we have another family night. I love being a love doctor :) Can’t wait to plan the wed.
On Sunday the Relief Society president asked if there was anyone that could help her with feeding us missionaries and after people kept standing up and bearing their testimonies that if we make this little sacrifice we will never lack food on our table. After everyone swarmed us asking what time we don’t have food. We are in very good hands :)
Sorry I don’t have much time but I just can’t explain how good it was to talk to your guys yesterday. That was the first time I’ve laughed really hard for a pretty long time. I love you all and want to hear from you guys whenever you can :)
