Thanks for the news! Paige, I can never look at tuna in any form without thinking of you. I love you so much--keep doing great things, keep being amazing! Ronnie, you go my brother; be sure to really learn what you are taught in Scouts--it is useful stuff to know for life, and especially a mission! Lizzie, I love you--every time the families of the Devo speakers comes, and I see a little blond girl (which happens more than you would think), I think of you.
Thanks for the reminders Dad--every time I start getting tired, I think of good ol' Dr. Bishop, and I put my head down and push along. Thank you so much for your example to me!
Mom, I'll give you all I know: our date says OCT 15, but we probably will leave earlier--we get our flight plans this weekend (AH!), so I should have more details next P-day. Assuming we get our Visas and these are our REAL flight plans, it should me a Monday or Tuesday. I will buy a card (and yes, I remember your numbers!).
It was a glorious week this week; we had choir practice every day, which brings an awesome spirit. The director carries an amazing excitement for the work, and an awesome spirit and testimony. I feel the weight of our calls every time we sing--though we have only been rehearsing for 5 days and the music is tough, the Lord has been blessing our voices and memories. I am so glad to be singing for the Lord!
It really started to hit us this week that we leave in less than two weeks! Crazy! The pressure is felt to study hard, but I have really felt my faith grow as I've been learning to examine my weaknesses as a missionary, person, and Bulgarian speaker, and have begun to realize that though I have them, the Lord is here to help us, and he will not let us fail--if we just turn to him, how could he? There is no more powerful influence than his--there is no way he would let such a noble cause falter! I feel more love for the people of Bulgaria every day, and I can't wait to get out to the people there.
Mom, I need you to read these verses: Mosiah 28:6-8, and Alma 19:21-23. As I go, know that I'm going to be ok--I am not scared at all, because I know the faith of you and Dad, that it is strong enough to protect us even as Mosiah's protected Ammon. I am going to be fine; more than fine, I will be doing a great work (or at least doing my best to do a great work!). The Lord knows your faith.
Give my love to everyone! Read Alma 34 if you want to know about the Atonement. It's real!
Аз знам че това евангелие е истината, без съмнение или страх. Обичам моят Спасител, Исус Христос, и също бие, семейството ми!
