Closer to Christ

Mom and Dad,

Hi! So this week I just really want to talk to you and dad like I'm talking to you! I just want you to know whats up in my life!!

Missionary work itself! There is this man, his name is Patrick. Sis Eyre found him with her old companion. by the way this is sis eyre's 3rd transfer in the field... crazy! were both so young!!!! anyways Patrick, he's kinda crazy, he doesnt come to church and sometimes dodges our rendezvous... but he knows its true!! my secret desire is that he will get baptized on the 26th to distract me but thats really selfish. Anyways, we have a lesson with him with the branch president, president Bon bon and it was so good! He knows he needs to get baptized! He just hasn't come to church recently... man. but! the lesson was so good! we were talking about the temple and he was just like smiling so big it was totally a celestial smile and i was just so happy! iI just really wanna give him a hug in the celestial room! Patrick is the best! but hes a bit all over the place! wWe have a talent show on friday and he said hes gonna write a song about Jesus and sing it and we're gonna sing the chorus with him... haha!! PATRICK! i love him! i really want him to get baptized so he can help this branch and for his eternal life!!

So we've got a lot of people were teaching and people love to talk to us but we're just trying to get these people to PROGRESS!! wWe always have stuff to do, people to teach! I love my missionary life in Goyave im scared when it will change! We have to move, but thats ok, we'll still be in goyave till the end of this transfer.

I read ch 6 of Preach my Gospel this week and I really think its changed my life. read it mom, youd love it! and dad! and family! everyone should love it! Our purpose as missionaries is to bring others closer to Christ and I know when I act like Him thats how I get closer to Christ. And I just always try to bring anyone around me closer to Christ. That is literally why I'm here, I love Christ so much and I just want everyone to know how good he is and all that He's done for us!

Actually mamacita, french is good! I can have fluid conversation now. like solidly!! I work really hard to improve it because its not beautiful or good french but i can hold a conversation pretty solidly! such a miracle! and i realizwe at this point, i just have to work really hard to be that missionary I want to be. If i want someting to happen I need to make it happen! and Im really trying to make me the person I want to be.. a leader, like Christ, fixing things that bug me about myself. why wait, what a better time than now to do it?

Well I love you both so much, Im so lucky to work with Sister Eyre. Pdays we just  hang out all day and look at each other and say 'AND we get to teach people about Jesus together!" I love her so much! we love each other so much!

I love you both so so much, thanks for your love and support, im tryin to make you proud! love you!
