Hey MOM!!!!
Buenas dias! things here are amazing as ever - just got back from the temple and it was great! good session for sure!
i cant believe i leave for the Dominican Republic in 5 days. it really is scary and I'm definitely nervous but way excited!!! i hope i do get a good trainer of course, but like dad says its all how i want my mission to be and i want it to be the best! :) but ya I'm kinda hoping i get in the outskirts of the city and stuff and serve in a village type area. i think that would be a good start for me! but anywhere is great for me because that's where the lord has prepared for me! I'm the district leader here and its been pretty good. My branch president really likes me i think. In our interviews he always talks about how crazy it is that i just graduated high school and am already here serving and he says he cant believe the maturity in me and things so he is a great man! i like him alot.
Hurricane season is just around the corner for sure! i actually had a dream that i was in one the other night and it was crazy! but if something like that does happen there will be time for a lot of service to be done as some of the houses would just blow away down there ya know? so it would be a humble people right off the get go! but it sure will be crazy! but ya i can get what i want there because i don't want my suit cases to be over 50 pounds and all so i think I'm pretty set. but we definitely have been blessed with some good talkers as of late, just alot about faith and obedience and things and just loving the people! I'm excited family you have no idea! but yes i do have alot of journal entries that's for sure! and do you know if aunt Jo and uncle b got their letter i sent them?? and that's so awesome Tate got baptized in the pond! that's so cool tell them congrats and i love the Hensley family!
i got a little email from coach Tenney so that was great! glad to hear little Heber is doing great! love that guy he is awesome! glad to hear dads back is getting better! That's good to hear and i got his little email tell him thanks a ton! love hearing from him as well! and i'm glad everyone enjoyed the reunion and you all had fun that's awesome!!! i also heard from sister maner this week and it was great she said that when jt saw me he was so excited which he was and then when she was reading that part of jt's letter to her dad that he began crying and couldn't even talk and said he considers me one of his grand children as well so it was a good letter, i enjoyed it - i love that family lots! Tell pops i love him tons! and they don't get much better!
I'm glad to hear you are doing great! keep up the good work mom!!!! the lord knows what he is doing - no worries! the language is really coming along for me I'm sure its gonna be hectic and hard the first little while but i got my COMPLETE trust in the lord and know i will get it down eventually!
Tell Clayton i love him and to keep his head up! i pray for him constantly as well as the rest of you all in the family!! but he is an awesome example of not getting down on himself and always believing in good things to come, its awesome! and good old jordan and rach hahahhaha! im glad to hear they are still madly in love those two - they are funny, love them both! tell them i love them as well. and morgs - I'm still waiting for the letter girl!!!! :) enjoy school its a good time although it is annoying at times just enjoy it sis! keep working hard and working towards your goals! love ya sister! know that your big bro is loving it out here and he loves you k!!!!?
love you all so very very much! I'm so grateful my prayers are being answered and you all are healthy and protected and doing great! makes me happy for sure! things do get hard at times but i just always keep in mind why I'm here and what I'm doing and put my trust and love in my savior and heavenly father and everything turns out great! I've grown tremendously already and the best hasn't even started yet! but i will call you guys soon! probably Wednesday morning or something while I'm at the air port in New York cuz i got a 4 hour chill time or whatever between my next flight to Santo Domingo. so be expecting that as well! its from 6 in the morning to 10 in the morning so somewhere around there. i look forward to hearing from you all! keep up the good work and know i love you both!!!!! did Celeste ever get my letter i sent???? tell her i will sing to her happy birthday on the phone haha.! love you all have a fabulous week look forward to hearing from you all before i leave next week! love you family very much more than words can describe!!!!
