Hi Everyone,

Well this is when I start to break a sweat and get nervous because I have 25 minutes left.
Ok to start off..MISSIONS ARE NOT FOR THE WEAK. I can promise anyone that!!! But it is going really well and I am still learning a ton and have a ton to learn. We got two new sisters in our bedroom today and all 6 of us are going to visitor centers. I have 2 teachers I don't know I told you about them last time..Brother Heasley is 24 yrs old and married to a woman my age so that's funny. Actually exactly Kaitlins age. Sister Remington I am guessing is like 25 and goes to BYU and single. Both are awesome teachers and are SO knowledgeable in the gospel. I admire them both and hope to know as much as they do when I finish my mission.
Let's see here...today I went to the temple. It was good. The temple is always good. The food is better now because I've searched for better food. John handed me a card today that had a "Wrap recipe" on it so I went and made it, it was so good hahha.
And the reason the snow is melting off Bachelor is because John and I stopped praying for it! ;)
Oh funny story...I got someone else's letter from Dear Elder it was from a Sister to a brother..I got a laugh out of that!
Today is P-Day obviously...and here's what I've done. Got up went to class at 7 and did personal study went to breakfast at 8:15 came back and had companion study and then went to the temple at 10:20 came back and had lunch at 1:00 and then I've had personal time since. I have laundry at 4:00 and dinner at 6:00 and the rest of the night is spent in class with Sis. Remington. But guess what? I'm wearing JEANS and I've never been more grateful for jeans.
Last night we had a devotional from Elder Evans, it was SO good!! He talked all about the Book of Mormon and how we need to use it in our teachings and turn to it before the Bible.
Every week I am encouraged to work on developing a Christ-like attribute so this week I chose "Diligence". When others are joking around and talking during study time I have my ear plugs in and try really hard to be diligent in my efforts towards study..does that make sense? Hopefully.
Last night I re-met the senior couple who is serving in Liberty Jail and Independence Visitors Center!! I met them once in Missionary Mall and John was walking past at the same time so I stopped him too and said remember them we met them at the Missionary Mall!? So it was really exciting to meet them, I can't WAIT to work with them. Speaking of which I leave Feb 3rd. Which is fine with me..

Ok well I better get going!
Love Everyone, Sorry if I didn't answer all the questions!!

Love, Cathryn
