Letter #48

Hey ya'll. How is it GOIN? Its goin fine here. Today we had a zone activity and went on up to Kingsport and played some basketbaLL. I kept schoolin all the Elders.. haha no jk.. I am still lvin up to my name as "Sister MJ." So I am really late emailing. How was conferencE?? I loved the pics of Dad and Tateer.. I can't wait to go to Temple square. That is definately on my to do list when I arrive home. Ya'll wanna go like the first weekend I get back?
My comp is from Temple square so she tells me some about it how it all works. I am just really glad that I am out in the field doin pros 24 hours a day. I don't think i could have it any other way.
Jim is doin excellent. Sister Cherry and I found him tracting the 3rd day I was here in Greeneville. He is gonna be baptized on Saturday. We are teachin his daughter Belle too. We are goin to commit her soon as weel. She is goin through some problems with addiction. She recieved a blessing of comfort with her dad on Saturday after conference. It was really helpful to her and him.
We are also teachin Connie Whitson. She is really considering baptism. She wants to be able to be "saved" nd be with her daughter again. I took a pic with her that I will send to you guys soon. I am really relying on prayer and scripture study lately. I don't know what it is but I been havin an extremely hard time lately. I think its just nervousness worryin bout my future. But I know that the lord will help me and that I am gonna have a BLAST livin it up when I arrive home.
I really love missionary work. It's been hard for me to think that I have to actually think about my life now. I been thinkin bout other peoples for 18 months. Its just kinda weird. I loved how Elder Holland spoke about the very first talk a bout how nervous he was when he was goin off his mission, but his parents helped make sure that he was okay and he was thankful for them. That helped me a lot! I know I got lovin parents who will make sure I'm okay. That really comforted me. On the mission I went through times where I thought nobody loved me! You get anti'ed or bible bashed all the time and you just feel really low some times.... BUT listenin to the councel of the prophets and havin a family has really helped me relaize that I have friends and family everywhere. Satan really tries to bring you down a LOT on your mission...
I hope you all have a great week and I can't wait to get pics of Easty and Livvie.. I can't even recognize easton.
LOVE YOU ALL
CHELZ
