"Does anyone realize how short a year and a half is? How short eighteen months is? I have only been out 3.5 months but it feels like I have only been out a week. It feels so short. One thing that I like to do so I realize how short a mission is is to look at expiration dates and compare it with how much longer I'll be out. I ate some cashews before my mission that would not expire until I was already home from my mission. My deodorant doesn't expire until I'll be home for 6 months. My yogurt doesn't expire for a month and I'll be out for almost 5 months by then. Does this make sense? Well it does to me. It really freaks me out. It helps me realize that my time on my mission is precious and it is up to me how I will use this time. A mission will always be a part of who I am. I can use my agency to decide how I will let it affect my life. I'm happy. My ward is doing great. We had 5 less-actives at church! I love less-actives. I am so excited for when I get home from my mission, and I can help out the church and do my visiting teaching! Less-actives just need a friend, and visiting teaching is how the church gives everyone a friend. Oh, the church is so true! It's insane how true it is. LOVE YOU!"
