Just so happy to be talking to you today! I've been going through the refiners fire this week and am so glad that I made it to the best time of the week. Talking with you!! :) How about you?It's mostly just me being impatient with myself in trying to be better. I just need to drink some more dew, I am pretty sure the dew from the mountains grows patience. :) yall are the best! It sounds like you have had a pretty good week! This week has been a pretty mellow one for me just a lot of planning and teaching. My companion always tells me that I am like a Catholic because I always have to stand up and sit back down during our studies. I know how important that planning and our studies our but I just have so much Dye in me sometimes that I can't just sit there and talk about doing things for another minute I just want to go and do it! But Heavenly Father is teaching me some patience. I was driving some missionaries in our sweet new Colorado back to their area after transfers and one of them was brand new and was asking me some questions and it just hit me that I wasn't the youngest one any more. I can't believe that it has gone by so fast and is almost half over! I really wish that I could be better about writing yall but things have just been crazy lately. But it's not because I don't love your and not because I don't love to talk to you and hear from you. So pretty much I love your letters but I am kind of a slug and it is hard to have time to write back haha We went and saw one of our investigators and his name is Charles Bordelon he is an awesome guy! He was in a lot of pain and he just started cussin me out and putting together some wicked combinations and it made me laugh really hard. It made me not miss Steve, Don, Judy, and Tammy so much (James and Becky never really swore at me but I miss them to) haha Louisiana is exactly where I need to be haha Things are going good! I am happy and healthy so I really can't complain, the work is slow but we will just keep trying our best and keep learning patience :) Alright I will shape up and he us right. I had a really cool experience the other day though. I was getting frustrated about something and I was fixin to have to say some bad words and throw some things if you know what I mean. and just before I was ready to blow I got the very strong thought and impression "Sister Dutson has been praying for you, and has given you the strength to not get mad if you will accept it." It was crazy so I mellowed out and was very grateful for Sister Dutson. Would you please tell her thanks for me? I love and miss yall so much!! Love mud
