This will most likely be my last email here in this area. We will not have a p day next week because of zone conference and so the next time I will write I will have probably been transfered to a new area and be with a new comp. I am really looking forward to the switch. I have really, really enjoyed my area and the people that are here but I feel like my time would be better spent in another area! Thank you guys so much for all the prayers that you have said in my behalf! I have felt every single one of them and am so happy and really enjoying my mission! I got a letter from grandma and really enjoyed reading that! I didn't know how awesome it is to get hand written letters! Please keep sending them that way! They may be a little slow and I may not get them every week but for us missionaries they are something that we really look forward to! Please tell Luis how much I love him and that I am thinking about him. I am hoping that next p day I will have some time to get a letter off to him- but things have just been so busy it's not even funny!
We will be getting to go to the temple some time in September!!!! We only get to go three times a year I think. That is going to be hard since in the Philippineswe got to go like every transfer! But it's ok- that will teach me to not take advantage of the temple and really look forward to getting to go! I cant wait! I know that that is where Bro Clawson went through and he said it is amazing so I am really looking forward to going inside! Everyone tells me how beautiful it is! Cant wait!
Man it still blows my mind that Kailei is going to be getting home so soon! It has flown by it seems. I sure hope that my time goes fast too because I can't wait to see her! I am really looking forward to the Mothers Day after because skype will be soooo cool! It sure has been hard to be away from her but at the same time we both have grown so much and I know that when we reunite that it will be like Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah! We will still be brothers and sisters in the gospel and will get to share all of our amazing experiences over a bowl of cereal and a penguin!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait to be able to see her again!
Well family I need to get going. Sorry that there really wasn't much about the area. We have found quite a few new investigators and they are really dong great!!! We are really looking forward to the time that we will get to teach them! I love the gospel so much and everything about it! It has changed my life in so many ways and continues to do so daily! I am so thankful for the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us that gives us the chance to repent and to be forgiven! Love you all so much and pray for you daily!
Love,
Elder Shelley
