we have a mission home. but my area is the furthest away from the mission office. it takes like an hour and a half to get to the mission office so i never go there but i live with the assistants so the always bring my letters and packages!!! yes i got a package this week with spegetti and prego and dille beans and i got the belt a week or two ago. thanks a ton for everything!!!! your the best mom EVER!!! so there is a little boy in my ward witht the name of Hyrum. it is funny how the say it though haha. this week we had zone conf. it was way good. one of the elders that is finishing bore his testimony and talked about how he was a recent convert before his mission and when he decided to go on a mission his dad said no but he went any way. he said he has written his dad every week and his dad has NEVER written him back. how sad is that. he said he never gets letters packages or anything. i felt so bad. but i tihnk of how much faith he must have and how strong of a testomony. a mission is hard enough with family support. i cant imagine how hard it would be with out it. my comp is just sick alot. just like pains in the stomoch. but its normal for americans. also his feet hurt really bad caouse of blisters. so some days we dont even leave the house cause his feet hurt so bad and he cant walk. like the blisters burst and get infected. haha. poor kid. i was reading in alma 17 this week and i loved a scripture i was studing about patience in verse 11. it is totally how with my patience i will be a tool in the lords hand for the lamanites. that is a prophecy that im making part of. cool huh??1!!!! 

im reading jesus the christ and so that is like WOW, AMAZING. haha. im loving it. i read like half the book yesterday alone haha.
