Happy P Day

Alright I dont have much to say since the weeks here are repetitive. I would just keep telling you the same things happened over and over. So we had room inspection this week and we did absolutely horrible. You know me Mom and I like my room organized. So my part was organized and my roomates side wasnt so we did terrible. I thought it was funny though. Doesn't really matter. We have gotten SOO many new missionaries! It's crazy. Wednesdays are so crazy. Wednesday at dinner all of the new missionaries have the same dinner time as us so it is packed to the max! Its crazy. We are getting another bunk bed in our room soon for 2 new missionaries to room with us next wednesday. But I get to escort new missionaries on Wednesday!! Im so excited. I think Steve Hansen is coming in. Not sure of anyone else but I am so excited. I'm sure it'll be so fun. I keep forgetting to tell you, this girl in my zone is named Hermana Thomas. She is in our stake. Cody saw her in the picture and reminded me. I remembered that she was in our stake and we talk about it all of the time but I just keep forgetting to tell you. She graduated with Cody. Um yeah I got both of your packages this week. Thank you so much!! One of the martinelli's broke in the package and it got all over. Luckily my camera still works. Everything is fine though. So you know I told you about our teacher went to the same mission as cody's and he tells us stories all of the time. His stories are amazing. He spent most of his mission in the southern part of Argentina where it is next to Antarctica. Crazy. But he had us watch this talk by Elder Bednar called Recognizing the Spirit. It helped me so much. You can only access it in the MTC cause he gave it here at a devotional. We also watched an Elder Holland talk and it was amazing. You can only access them in the MTC though so you can't see it. Lets see... We got a new investigator and she is suicidal so we are working on her. It's just our teacher but she is acting as someone that she found on her mission. It caught us by surprise though cause we weren't expecting her to be suicidal. I honestly love it here! My district has become way close and I feel like family with them. I love it. It's so much fun. Oh yeah, so this morning we were instructed to build bunk beds at 6:30 so we had to skip the temple at 5:30 and then they told us it got cancelled. It was a mess and we were so mad we skipped the temple for nothing. But most of us just went back to bed and we woke up at like 9. it was so nice! Anyways, I'll answer your  questions now. I definitely can feel a change. I have already grown so much and have really come to know the importance of the gospel. I dont think a lot of kids in high school actually know the importance of it. I love personal study. I have really gotten into the scriptures so I think that is my favorite part besides gym. Most of our day is just with our district. About 6 hours a day we are with our teachers. Our district leader only leads our devotionals, goes to meetings, and gets mail. So he doesnt really lead us. We get a new DL tomorrow though. I dont have time to read codys email but copy and paste it into dearelder and send it to me for sure! Yes I got the bishop's letter. I haven't met missionaries going to my mission yet. I met and Elder Youngblood (sweet last name) going to Honduras but not my mission. I think about being in the field constantly. I am so excited. I can't wait. I dont know what oil she gave me but it was disgusting. haha I hated it but it worked.  We have only had people from the 70. No general authorities yet. But maybe soon! Anyways, send me cody's email. I love you mom! You all are in my prayers! Thank you for everything you do!
