Dear Mother,

Mom, I love your letters. I don't even need to be at home to know what is going on. They are very informative. I feel like i am not missing a thing. Thank you, it helps me to jsut focus on my mission and that's proabably why I haven't been homesick. sister kocaj is doing very well. We had another sister missionary named sister goddard come into our companionship. she is about to go home. her compaion got her appendix taken out and was put with a senior companoin. so sister goddard was put here. it is really great being in a threesome. it is so powerful. and it is good for sister kocaj to see two examples of missionaries and to get the support you need when you frist come into the field.

We are no longer teaching jackie. her boyfriend has dropped us for her. it is sad to see such amazing people and then through various circumstances see them turn away. but who knows what will happen in the future. It has given us the opportunity to really do some finding which i love more than anything. if ever i feel down at all all i have to do is to go out and testify to as many people as possible and i just beam. it is good for sister kocaj becuase new missionaries are always hesitant at first and this is giving her the opportunity to find and gain some concfidence.

Well, i am so excited for conference. i just can't stop thinking about it. I just know that something amazing will happen or be said. It always is. And it is good to be on a mission during this time of year. i lvoe being a missionary. welll, i lvoe you too.

love, your daughter
