"We know not what lies ahead of us. We know not what the coming days will bring. We live in a world of uncertainty. But one thing we do know. Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith." - Gordon B. Hinckley

Received two letters today!! Letter #1

From Destinee:

 I don't have a lot of time here.  Most of the time is filled with classes and studying.  The grounds here are beautiful.  There are interesting flowers here--one that looks like a Bird of Paradise; there are also large purple flowers that act as ivy and wrap around the poles.  I can see the mountains well.

My Spanish is returning and getting better and my English is slightly fading.  I guess that happens to a lot of missionaries.  I [saw] someone from high school.  I stopped and talked to him in Spanish.  He understood a little but not much because he is going to Hungary.  He couldn't speak English so the conversation was short.

I have two companions.  Hma Moaei is from Hawaii. [She] is going to my mission.  Hma Stokes is going to Spain.  I haven't met any more people going to my mission.  My district is awesome.  We have 12 people in it, which includes 7 Elders:  Elder miller is our DL and his companion is Elder King; Elder Merrill and Elder Jones; Elder Morris, Elder Jones (a different one) and Elder Jepperson.  Then we have 5 Hermanas:  Hma Morris and Hma Herbert, and then me, and mis companions.  We all (our district) eat together, and get along with each other.

All of us are set at a fast pace by our teachers, sister Forsythe and Brother Sheid. One of our tareas? (homework) is to share the gospel message with other missionaries on campus as well as bearing our testimonies, all in Spanish of course.
