hello

so i'm not going to lie. i am absolutely loving it here! the spirit is so strong. already my testimony has grown so much. i am so lucky to be one of the very many missionaries in the world doing the lords work. my testimony on prayer has grown even more then before i left. i'm sorry that wednesday wasn't good for you mom. i actually haven't even cried yet. that doesn't mean that i don't love you guys very much cuz i do. i just know that i'm out here for the lord, and with his help i know that i can accomplish a lot.

i've been sick for a few days. luckily my companion had some medication or i would be a lot worse. by the way i love my companion so much. i don't think that i could have asked for a better first companion. she is so wonderful and her testimony is so strong. her name is Sister Crozier. she is also going to winnipeg! so maybe we'll get lucky to be companions again on the mission field. also i've been very blessed with an awesome district. everyone in my district is awesome! we all get along very well. i have two others sister missionaries in my district. we all have formed a strong friendship already, and it's only been 5 days! but we are around each other all the time. we took some fun pictures today so i'll print those out and send them today. Sister Crozier and i room with two girls from germany. they are going to Greece. they've been teaching us some german. last night we asked them how to say good night in german...and night and naked are a way similar in german.....so we ended up say good naked to them. haha! they had a pretty good laugh about that one.

i'm absolutely loving it here! i have some more stuff to tell you guys but i don't a lot of time left on here.

i'm so grateful to have the family that i do. i'm very lucky. i feel like heavenly father has blessed me very much. especially in the last few days. because my district is awesome, my companion is awesome, and my teachers are awesome! so to sum it up.....they are all awesomeness! haha!

love you!!!!!!!!!!
