Dear Family,
This week has been long. I don't think I have a had a break in a while, working hard and pushing so hard. I can sleep on my feet.

I like my new comp Elder Wait. He is a bit quiet, but that's life. The ward here is great. I haven't worked with a ward before so... It is the best one I have ever worked with!! But really, they are great. I have never had so many home courts (lessons where investigators are invited by members to hear about the church). I really like Sister Sayben, and I don't think I spelled her name right so....
I have learned about humility this pass bit on my own free will. It's a better way to learn it, study rather than practice. It makes using it much easier. I have become a bit more bold this past little bit on my mission, and I like it. Calling people out on their bogus, but doing it nicely, is a skill I hope to gain. I have talked to lots of people who are full of bogus, and I have had some practice. This week I started to use sales skills I learned from Zig Ziegler, but in Spanish it's a bit different (as in I need work...) but I'm getting better. I just need to help people see what they want out of life, rather than trying to baptize them. If they see what they want out of life, they will want to be baptized and follow Christ. It has a lot to do with using the plan of salvation in every lesson to help them see the need to change.
So I am like 15 miles from a town called Mattawa. It is tiny and mainly hispanic. I have been really pushing to be more obedient, and I feel like the Lord is helping me do that as I am willing to do his will. I love Elder Wait. He took time the other day to help me study my Spanish. It was hard for me to accept his help, I felt my head hurt like it did when I was trying to learn how to read, and I hate that feeling. He was so patient with me, and I really felt his care. It was great. I feel like a chick lol. I also got to go to the temple today at 5 am, so I'm kinda dying from lack of sleep... need sleep...might die. I think I lost my SD card reader in the move here, so sad day.
Well fam, my time is out. I love you. The Lord loves you, don't forget that.
