1 Nephi 17:2

Hi Hi Hi, everything is going great! I am just wrapping up the last week of my 2nd transfer (just to keep everyone in the know there are 6 weeks in a transfer, and I'll have 13 transfers in my mission)! Time seriously goes by so fast. More members are giving us referrals, and things are getting better every day! I love this ward, and I love serving the singles. It was kind of weird at first because we are the same age, and everything but now it is a delightsome time. I got to go on a road trip to California! Well Needles, California which is barely California but it's a part of my mission. We went for training. I LOVE trainings, you learn so much, and are reconfirmed about how great the mission is. I also got to see my MTC companion which was great because I love her. One thing that I learn time, and time again in life, on my mission, and from being in Las Vegas is that things, people, events cannot bring you happiness. The only thing that can really make a person happy, genuinely happy is doing God's will; keeping the commandments, going to church, praying, reading the scriptures, loving thy neighbor. It's not all the things that are going to make a person happy. Especially being in Las Vegas I have learned this. There are so many people here who confused happiness from Heavenly Father with the things of the world. Now that they are engrossed in things of the world, and blame their unhappiness on the church. It's really sad. I'm so grateful that I was raised in a family where I was taught from a young age that the gospel is really the only thing that brings you happiness. Everything is great. I am surviving the heat. It's actually not that bad. It's so sad but when it's only 100 F' I am sooo happy. I use to cry at the thought of that. My companion is great. We are suppose to give each other frequent compliments to build each other up so I try to be a good righteous little missionary and give her specific compliments about things she said in a lesson, or about how good she is at teaching me or whatever, she like to give me different kinds of compliments. Last night for a compliment she said "If I were a guy I would waayyy rather see you in a swimsuit than (says name of super skinny sister missionary) because you've got the curves going on." I mean I was flattered but I have no idea if I'm good at teaching, hopefully. Love you all love time."
