Hey mom,
Glad things are going good and thanks for sending tayler something! I can tell hes having a hard time too. I think this whole mission thing is supposed to be the hardest thing ever though becasue Ive had my fair share of days. Yesteray was one of those I really want to be home days but im feeling better today. The emails totally pick me back up. Its so nice to have time to write you all. Im glad the running is all going well. I cant believe you are going to be back doing half marathons in two seconds. Hopefully I get more of an itch to run more when I get home. Im going to need it. The lady here that makes delicious food is going to write down her recipies for me so I can make stuff when I get home! Im just happy I have the most amazing parents in the whole world. I realize every day how much I am blessed. Thats great that bailey and kitty are getting along well lol. Shes not being jealous is she? Lol. So funny.
This week we met someone that speaks english lol. He told me all about hopping the boarder three times and working in washington dc. Is it really that easy to cross the boarder? Who knows. But hes very nice and all he wants to do is practice his english lol. Its kind of funny. Ive also realized that becasue food is the only thing I really get to decide on during the day I eat like a pig. Honestly I have got to stop. Its awful! So were going to hope that my last area is somewhere near the beach where I sweat to death so I can come home a little smaller lol. I was reading this week in Alma and found a verse that I really like. Its in Alma 39 verse 11. It talks about how people rejected the gospel because of a bad example of someone who was a memeber of the church. I think its so important to remember thatn even though not everyone has a badge that says they are a part of this church like missionaries do that we are all representatives of christ. Its part of our baptism covenant and people watch us. They know the things that we say we do or dont do in the church and when we do something wrong people see it. Idk, Im kind of rambling but I think the best way to share the gospel is to be an example and always strive to live the commandments of God. I really love the secripture I picked for my mission plaque becuase really truely we are blessed with happiness when we live the commandments of God. Pure and simple. Obedience is happiness.
I hope everything is going good. I cant believe Tayler has been gone 6 months! and im appraoching 4 quickly. So crazy. Thank you for being so amazing. I honestly cant even explain how lucky our family is. Have an amazing and wonderful week and I will talk to you soon!
Love, Hermana Baer
