Hello after somber news but a fun phone call.

Hello Family,


It was good to talk with you, just wish it was under different circumstances.

I have been thinking about grani and the things she has done for me and influenced me to do. On the bus the other day, I took some time to write some thoughts. I will share them with you!

Grani always influenced me to be the best person I could be. She always pushed me to be better and work harder. She never allowed for me to close off my thoughts and think that I was only good for one thing.

She taught me to always push the limit.

She taught me to fight for the good.

She taught me to be strong and defend what I believe.

Grani taught me the importance of family and how necessary it is to have a strong foundation in the gospel.

She helped me to realize the importance of Music. In schools, In Church, and in the home.

She taught me the freedom that comes from knowledge.

I remember when I lived with her, how important it was for her to fill her time with learning about good things.

She exemplified the 13th Article of Faith: If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

She taught me that knowledge is power.

She taught me the importance of being a strong woman.

She taught me to love.

We shared some special moments together while I lived with her.

She taught me to realize and take advantage of the opportunities that I have been given.

She showed me the way for her children and grandchildren.

She really blessed all of our lives.

What a great woman she has been in my life.

I know that if I mess around and be stupid here on earth, she will get permission from the Big Man and come down and kick me a good one.

I love my grandmother. She is a huge influence in my life.


We have a baptism for this Sunday. I think I told you about him in my last letter. Juan. We is so excited to be baptized. So excited to get the chance to start clean. He has so much support from his friends and family. We taught him last night and there were 2 investigators (him and his wife), 2 members, 2 missionaries, and 1 Menos activo. He is great.

My companion and I get to stay together for another transfer!!! I think the ayudantes pulled some strings for that one!
Yeah whoo. I am having fun.

Super excited to talk with you all again on Sunday! I will call around 8 am your time. Hopefully this is still good.

Mom, if you have not sent package yet,

Please add my black flowy skirt. Similar material as the dresses. and anything else. Things are just getting worn out quickly. I am going shopping today. Yeah howo. But if you have anything in my closet that looks relatively good, send it if possible.


I love you all so much.
