Letter to Mission President

 Don't have time for a big letter today   or last week    I'm slackin
so this is my letter to president
It was great to see you yesterday!!
 Love you


President Loveland,
I hope you had a great Christmas, I know I did. We spent a lot of the day doing service and also got to call home and eat dinner with PM and LA families. These past few weeks I have been able to see myself grow a lot. I had been praying to know what the Lord would have me learn and to direct my studies accordingly. It was really neat then when we had zone conference that all of my studies directly applied to what we discussed. 
I have had a lot of great opportunities to sever in the last few weeks as well. We have been over 10 hours of service several times. And now members of the community, especially other churches, love seeing us and know who we are. And are now starting to ask questions. It has also been a great experience training in a trio. I have learned a lot by serving my companions and especially elder Wright. It has been good for me to go back to the basics and study them for myself.  The trio is doing great. We have had the opportunity to split up several times and that has been a good experience.
The District is doing well. I am excited to have district meeting again, it feels like it has been a while. We did have the opportunity to get Christmas presents for Sister Christensen in Nevada, because she didn't get any. So thanks for asking me to do that! 
I really enjoyed your letter because I feel like that has been something I have been working on for a while. Having at least a degree of the Character of Christ feels amazing. I am totally exhausted physically, mentally and socially but my joy is full. I love being able to serve others and not focus on myself. I am continually trying to be more consecrated as I release those things that the natural man wants to hold on to. A thought that came to me this week when thinking about humility, but can apply to any principle " I will never Be humble, but I can become More humble" 
Wow this was a long letter. haha I guess I'm learning a lot!
