14 Jan 10 - 20 Jan 10

Hey, this is going to be a shorty. Things are going slow with the Spanglish. As if I could master it in 8 days. My companion can't seem to understand that among other things. This might be one of the longest or shortest transfers that I'll ever have.

I know that this gospel is true. It's true what Joseph Smith said: "No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing." Satan is playing me so well right now but I'm not listening to him. I think I've finally found that courage to stand up for truth that a good friend of mine told me to find. It's funny how our mission motto is Firm, Steadfast, and Immovable and yet from what I've seen, I'm the only one to get the meaning behind the words.

I wish that everyone knew what I know. I wish everyone could see what I see. But then again, if everyone could do that, what use would I be? To me this email seems like such a downer. Maybe that's because I'm feeling pretty low right now. I've always had a hard time hiding my emotions. I wear them right there on my sleeve because I hate being fake. There has been so many people who have noticed my odd look on life. I've been told that I can find humor in anything. I always seem to find the positives (even though I think I'm a realist).

I don't know what I'm rambling on about. This church is the true church. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. Joseph Smith is a true prophet. If you gain a testimony in these things then there's no way you would ever turn away from God. If you pray, read your scriptures, and go to church, then you'll learn so much. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Here a little and there a little. It a process as long as you continue to seek the Spirit. Therein lies success.

I love you all. And hopefully next time my email will be happier.

Later
