Alright, this is my last email in the United States of America, on Monday I
will be in Mexico!!!

they''re only short, every little letter means so much and has helped me so
much.

This week has been so awesome! WE had infield orientaion yesterday, which
was just awesome! It was basically like an alll day spiritual feast, I learned
so much about how to do missionary work and how to find investigators and how to
work with the members. I´´m excited but also a little scared, because the first
Sunday that I´´m there, I will have to bare my testimony and speak in front of
the whole ward in spanish, I hope I don´t accidentaly say something bad or
anything like that haha, my spanish has gotten a lot better though, but I
sometimes mess up on words and they sound like other words, but I know that the
most important thing is that I teach by and with the spirit, and that is what I
am going to do. It´s so crazy to think that I am leaving on Monday, but I´m
ready, 9 weeks in the mtc is a long time! One really important thing that I
really learned about was the importance of having faith, you have to have faith
to do miracles, and faith that the Lord will help you in your work. Another
thing that is muy importante es tener un positive attitude. Having a positive
attitude is very important, if you have a positive attitude, miracles are so
much more likely to happen. Just today, elder Baker and I had an awesome
lesson, it was with a member, she had a great story about receiving revelation
through the scriptures, because that was what we were teaching about. I feel
pretty confident about my teaching skills now, I have gotten better, there is
still so much more that I need to improve on, but I am ready to do it. I am so
grateful for the oppurtunity that I have to be a missionary, and I have already
felt the Lord´s help and love in my time at the mtc, he has helped me to get
through times of frustration with the language and just times when I´ve needed a
pick me up or something, but prayer really helps. Also, the devotional this
past Tuesday was awesome, it was by Elder Perkins of the seventy, it was pretty
sweet, he talked about the importance of being positve and to just have no fear
and just go at the ¡missionary work and do the best that you can do, and he also
talked about how we can help investigators come unto Christ. I´m excited for my
flight though, and my two hour layover in TExas, because I bought 100 pass along
cards from the mtc book store, and I´m gonna try to give out all of them, I´m so
excited, hopefully at least one person will accept the message and who knows,
maybe they´´ll join the church, that wouldl be just awesome
I´m so excited to go on Monday, and I´ll do my best to keep you guys
updated on the mission, but I know that I´ll be way busy with mission work, but
I´ll try my best
