It was SO fun to talk to you on Sunday. I met with the  President yesterday at our combined district meeting and I asked him about you two coming out to get me. He recommends it. So, I  guess you two should come out. I was worried  that there wouldn't be a lot of people for you to meet since my first area was a YSA ward so during the  holidays none of them will be around and my second area was Chevy Chase...and I didn't teach many people there. Although, Perla is now in that ward and there are many people in that ward that I LOVED! AND Rob  Moffat  should be performing at the VC that Saturday so that would be  fun. I think I would love most for you all to meet the sisters and  the couples and the president and his wife. They are so awesome. I would also love to do a session in the temple with you. It is so gorgeous here. We can also go sight seeing and go to places that I'm not able to go. We could also head up to New York since it is not that far away. Let me know what you want to do. The mission office sends out information 3 months before I go so there is a ton of time to plan it. I'm just wondering about  who will watch Jodee and stuff like that. Let me know.

The  mission  is so wonderful. I can't imagine being anywhere else right now. I got a little sad at the end of the phone call but I was ok. I'm happy for your anniversary! Sad I'll miss it but that is ok. I know I need to be here. I have a lot to learn. I finished Jesus The Christ book last week. I was so happy. That was one of my goals. That book is so amazing. If you have never read it i I recommend it to everybody. It is a powerful book. I also want to finish up the Book of Mormon before we read it as a mission next transfer. I want to read through it 3 times on the mission so my goal will be accomplished if I can do it. That is the most wonderful, powerful book on this earth. Joseph Smith wasn't kidding when he said it was the most correct of any book and would bring you more closer  to God than any other book. It is true. I know it for myself. I know that when people read it, their lives change for the better. We have seen it in a lady we  are teaching right now. Her name is Megan and she is SO awesome! She has such a pure heart and a desire to know the truth. She reads everything we  ask  and even more. She  told us that she wished she knew about this a long time ago. She told us that we should be knocking on everyone's door. We laughed and said  that it  is what we want to do but not everyone is as open and willing to listen as she is. She has  been praying and receiving answers and it is so awesome to see her excitement. She knows it is true. She will be getting baptized in June. OH, I love this gospel. It is true and it  changes lives.

Well I have to go. My companion is waiting for me. I love you all so much! I miss you all and will see  you soon! Keep me updated with everything!

LOVE YOU!
