"It's Killing Me"

July 7, 2014

This will probably be a short email.

For the fourth of July we played Apples to Apples with the Pedroza family. And then we came home and watched "FROZEN"!!!! I fell in love with that movie! I was really surprised our mission president let us watch it, but he did!

Teresa dropped us. She said she finds her AA meetings to be more spiritual than church. That doesn't make sense to me because she received revelation every time she came to church. I expect she'll come back to the restored gospel at some point.

Abby brought a friend to the lesson we had with the Newcomb's. Her name is Eden, she's 9 years old and full of questions. She asked "that voice in my head that tells me what's right and wrong - is that God?" I got the biggest smile on my face and said yes. She has so many questions. Hopefully she'll be at the lesson tonight.

We had a sisters conference on Saturday. It's quite strange being told all of the things that you need to change as a missionary when you're going home so soon. I realized that even though my missionary time is short, I still need to change - that's what repentance is.

When a missionary goes home, the slang is that they're dying. Sister Kellar, being my last companion, is "killing me". Now relate that to real life. If I was 80 years old and didn't have that long left on earth, I'd be sorely tempted not to make changes. But repentance is the point of this life -  to change and become better. It's never too late to repent. So I've stepped it up once again. I can do it for 8 more days, or however many minutes dad said I had left. LOL

Love you all! Talk to ya next week!
