Familia!
Sounds like everyone is starting to get back in the groove! I forgot about Parker getting to start seminary this year! I hope he enjoys that. I can't believe that it is September already! Wasn't it just June? I always loved the months of September and October. Especially October, that's when Fall was really in full swing. I'm going to miss that Fall season! You'll have to enjoy it for me! Are there any yellow leaves on the birch tree yet?
My new companion is named Elder Luna and he's from New Jersey. Good ol' Joizey boi! He and I get along well. I've been blessed to be with another native speaking companion! This area is pretty tough, not much success. But I'm hoping with a lot of hard work and prayer, we will be able to change that. Being on a bike is a change too! I got a "fixie" for about 150 bucks. All the kids here ride fixies, so I've gotta fit in haha. It is kind of fun being on bike, but there are definitely times where it isn't the best.
I finally got your package Mom! Thanks so much for sending that. I like that little misty thing too! My comp and I have enjoyed that haha. I've got the card reader too, which is perfect. I'll now try to send at least a picture or two each week. There hasn't been a whole lot to take pictures of, but whenever there is, I'll try to send some. It only lets me send two per email, so I'll probably send another email after this one with a couple.
I'm in a ward now and it seems to be like a pretty good one. LA 6th ward is the name of it. It was kind of nice having it as fast Sunday yesterday, because I had the chance to get up and bear my testimony and introduce myself a little bit. Whenever I feel discouraged about the language, I try to think back about when I first entered the MTC and didn't even have any idea how to pray in Spanish haha. Now I'm able to bear my testimony and teach quite a bit in Spanish, I even cracked a joke yesterday in front of the ward haha.
How are Grandma and Grandpa Lott doing? Send them my love. I will try to get a letter sent to them as soon as I can.
I love you guys! Thanks for your emails, prayers, and support. The Savior lives! It is because of Him and all He has done for me that I am here today.
It is my humble hope and prayer that through me, the Holy Ghost will be able to testify to others that the message I share is true. I know it is! It changes lives! The Book of Mormon is true, I know that with all my heart. It truly is another testament of Jesus Christ. Anyone can come to know that it truly is the word of God for themselves, if they are willing to read and pray about it. That is all we as missionaries do: invite others to come unto Christ. What a great opportunity that is!
