I am sitting in a chapel in the best mission oeste (west), in training, and one of the things I get to do is to write you all a letter. My goodness, I am already smitten with my mission area. Chile has already claimed a part of my heart. It seems sureal to be sitting here in training and that tonight I will meet my trainer, go to our apartment, and then who knows what tomorrow will bring. I am so excited for the next part of my adventure.
I want you all to know that I LOVE THIS GOSPEL. I have learned to rely on the Lord, to find joy in studying the scriptures (my new favorite thing), to respond to the promptings of the Spirit, and while I did not think it was possible, my testimony of the restoration has grown the most. To quote Jeffrey R Holland, "Everything great in my life has come because of the gospel." That is the truth. Thank you for giving me the one thing that can bless me forever. Now I want to share it.
Here is the address that is best for letters, packages, and whatever you'll need to send me for the rest of my mission. Disregard the MTC address and any other addresses. THIS IS IT!
