hola familia

every time i read your letters (everyone's letters) i feel so much love. so i want to start by saying thank you for that. it is so good to know I'm not alone in this, well obviously the lord is with me,but its good to know that there are some less important people with me too. haha I'm jk. and speaking of the lord he is blessing me so much. learning about the savior all day makes me realize how much he really went through for us and how worthless we all are. its a way humbling experience. I'm way excited to get out in the field, and I'm also way nervous. the language is getting a lot better. i can teach pretty much all i want to say. i just cant talk about too much other then the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. so i think its good, if i want to talk to someone it has to be about the church, so that's way good. haha. but everyone says once you get in the field the language comes a lot faster, and the work gets way harder. but that's what I'm here for. my testimony has already grown so much, and its not even close to where it should be, but i do know this, this church is true. that's the truth. anyone reading this know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true.

anyway i dont know what else to write about. i hope you got all the pictures from last week... i dont know tho. ill send more next week. i love you all, and i am so thankful for all the support, and how great ive been blessed to be in the fletcher/ainge family. i wouldnt trade it for ANYTHING in this world. im sorry for all the contention or problems i may have made in the past, and i hope you can forgive me. and anyone reading this if i have ever offended you in anyway please forgive me.

well i love you all

thank you so much mom. i think the best way to send it is in a letter. but put a sticker or picture of jesus on it. no joke. cuz usually they wont open it if you do so. i really appreciate this letter. it really helped. the quote that you sent was said in a fireside last night about being receptive to personal revalation. thats so cool. im glad to hear about the house. i need the address so i can tell the mission president of a change of address and cuz all my amigos here really want to know. so just send the address in the next email por favor. here is a question for devin fletcher... on your mission did you know an Elder Argueta? my companion knows him.. anyway. yeah so this week was pretty good. portuguese is still coming along okay . the more i work the better i am at it... crazy huh? i sent a real letter to you guys, and one to david urbina... but i sent it in the same envelope. haha sorry. but yeah so my companion is great, the food is.... idk. haha but the highlight of the week was conference. i have never been so happy for conference. it makes me mad because i know that they are always this good i just was an idiot in the past and didnt pay attention. boy how much i wish i would have, thats one of the many things i regret. but yeah.. so my testimony of these 15 men grew so strong. i know they are men of god. i love jerrery r hollands talk. it was so good. so powerful. so inspiring. im ready to teach about the savior and his wonderful sacrifice. i want to get out in the field but i thank the lord for the time i still have left. its so good i still have it. i thank anyone who is reading this letter for the support. i love you all. mom the date is coming sooner and sooner. i assume its still happening on the 1st right? well i love you and the more emails i get here the happier i am. eu amo voces muito
