Dear Wonderful Family whom I adore,
 
It has been a pretty good week. Frustrating because I have not been able to go out much. But I know that I need to take care of my health so that I will be able to continue to do the work that Heavenly Father has for me. Yes the medicine has been helping thank you very much!!!! I was asked to give a talk on Sunday on the Importance of Families. I think it turned out pretty well. The whole talk was pretty much on my family and how much I have been able to see them grow in the gospel and closer together through all of the hard times that we have faced and will continue to face. And how I have truly come to realize that the word family does not just mean our immediate family or our extended family. It can mean anyone who means something to us or is there for us when we need them. I really enjoyed giving that talk.
 
No we have not been able to meet with her because she does not have credit on her phone so we are going to have to try and get in touch with her a different way. Hopefully we will be able to soon.
 
I had an interview with President Preston. It was a very good interview. He told me that He has seen me change a lot. I was able to tell him that I am starting to be able to see that change that every one else sees and I am truly grateful for this mission and all it has done for me. I love who I am becoming and I love the testimony that continues to grow inside of me. I am beginning to truly love myself for who I am a Daughter of my Heavenly Father.
 
Wow that is amazing!!!!!! I didn't find any Tree's but I will look for the other names.
 
Haha Yes He will be a good missionary. Tell him congrats for me and good luck He will do great!!!!!! Your class sounds like it was even more fun then usually. Oh I miss the ward Halloween parties. I think the ward here is having one but we are probably not able to go because we will be in the flat on Halloween Night. Oh well I will just have to wait until next year!!!!!
 
OH I wish I could be there for his Concert. Let me know how it goes. How is he doing driving wise???
 
Oh poor thing I hope that she doesn't burn herself out!!!!!!
 
That is very nice of her. I am terrified to go back to school when I get home.
 
I really cannot believe that she is already walking!!!!!! She will be talking before we know it. It is so weird how life just keeps going when you don't really expect it to. I am happy that everyone seems to be doing well.
 
The weather keeps changing here. One day it is sunny then it is raining then it is hot and sunny again and then it is raining again. It is a good thing that I like all weather and am just happy to be able to be here. Why are you having a hard time walking???? Are you going to need the surgery soon????
 
It sounds like a very good meeting. I hope that you are able to enjoy it and take from it what you need.
I emailed her last week. I told her that I am always here for her if she needs to talk. I told her that I have enjoyed watching her grow and that if she trusted in God that I knew she would be an outstanding missionary. Griffin seems to be doing better as well.
 
That bird sounds really funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and really cute!!!!
 
How is daddy doing?????
 
I hope you all are doing well!!!!!!
 
I love you tons
 
Love
