Houston, we have a problem....(or many challenges ahead)

So as a district, we are doing a challenge of sorts. It's called the purification challenge. So, definitely a challenge. Haha, it's where you pick 10 things in your day-to-day life that you could take away to improve your missionary service. We take these things and "fast" from them for 40 days. It has been so hard for me! 2 of the things I chose are to "fast" from super-hero talk, and no singing ANY songs that are not approved by my mission president....

I actually promise to send y'all photos this time! I forgot my card reader last week, and then didn't get another chance to get on a computer.

So far, I have made it a personal goal to re-read the entire Book of Mormon and mark every page with detail and thoughts I have, along with other scriptures I can think of. So far, I have only gotten into 1 Nephi 16, and I have sooooo many markings and references that talk about how it applies to my life, and what I have learned from the MTC and the field.

This week has been a lot better than last week in terms of now I know what I am doing! Not even.... Who am I kidding? There is so much to learn! I love it! Keep sending me emails, I love to hear from all of you! 

Also, sorry I wasn't able to email all of you personally, I was a little stressed on time this week, and was trying to catch up on my journal.

 

1) Elder Johnson, Elder Whetzel, and me at the new missionary meeting last week.

2) A ghetto street called Coen St. in Fresno.

3) Last P-Day at the stake center

4) Me with my first Whataburger!

5) A real Mexican grilling competition we have had for the last two weeks.
