Dear Family....

This week has been a really good time reflect upon my duties and to see how my mission has been. On thursday we had a visit from Elder Robbins a seventy of the Lord. I can truly he is called of God and that he loves the savior with all his heart. I could feel the spirit and I knew that his voice was the voice of God in that very moment. It was an exciting time to hear him and learn about what the Lord wants from me. He really talked a lot about marriage which is a little scary haha no im kidding. He talked about how our mission is a refection of how our marriage is going to be.  During this time as zone leader I have changed so much and matured in the Spirit of the Lord.

I was looking at some of these photos you sent me and my face and the way I see things have changed drastically. This week the Lord has humbled me a lot to be like the savior is. Im pleased to have gone through this week not becuase of the work Ive done but more the things Ive noticed I have to get better at. I am going to put it in practice this coming week and really humble. I love this work we do and appreciate the Love he has for us.

This weeks I have promised the Lord I will be more diligently in his work and to help the missionaries in their spiritual progress. Oh also this change is a little different, we have 7 weeks in the change because now the missionaries that are Latin have to be in the MTC for 3 weeks not 2 weeks. This week that passed we have played a voleyball tournament and it has been awesome to see many missionaries play.

Also this week I have reflected and when I head home I have decided to dedicate more time to my piano and learn with great diligence. The mission also changes the perspectives of how you want your family to be in the future....I really cant believe Im going to turn 20 years old wowoowowowowwo....time goes by so fast and thats the age I go home. Im trying to focus really hard on the mission and give everything I have to my savior.

This week will be a really good week. I love you guys so much. Miss you guys. Always praying for everyone in our family. I know the Lord is blessing you guys and protecting you guys. TIll next week when I will have 20 years old writing to you from my computer.
