Family & Friends,
I am sorry that this email is going to be short.
This week was the slowest, most frustrating week of my mission so far. All of our investigators dropped us! We still have Shelby but she is losing interest. Her mom is anti Mormon so it is not helping her... so please pray for her! But this week was not good. Every night we are so frustrated because we have no one to teach. It sucks for me because that is the only way my Spanish is going to get better... I NEED TO TEACH!!! but I am trying to be patient. I am so lucky to have a companion like mine. We try to stay positive and be happy!! Our 3 month anniversary is on Valentine's day... hahaha how funny? But we are getting to the point where we are the same. haha We think and talk and say the same things!! It is so funny! We were planning and we said and did the same things then showed each other and we were like shut up, no way! I did the same thing! haha It is so much fun!!

At
this point I just need to have faith and trust in the Lord!! There is a
scripture that has helped me so much! It is in the Book of Mormon, 2
Nephi 31:3 "But I, Nephi, have written what I have written, and I esteem
it as of great worth, and especially unto my people. For I pray
continually for them by day, and mine eyes water my pillow by night,
because of them; and I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that He will
hear my cry." This scripture is amazing because I know that Heavenly
Father listens to everyone's prayers.. And sometimes in life it's hard
to see but he will answer in his own time! It is hard to have faith and
trust the Lord but you have too! :) I know that soon he will answer
mine! I love this gospel so much, it brings the best out in people! It
fills me with comfort and joy!! I want everyone to feel the way I do! It
is such an amazing feeling!! :) I am so grateful for my family and
friends who have made me who I am today! I love all of you guys so much!
I hope you all have a very safe week!! Miss you and love you all!! :)
