"I have been out for 4 months! Where does time go! Four months is the longest that I have ever been away from home, and so I am a little worried that I'll get homesick now, but we'll see. I don't think I will because good news everyone I think I have finally reached that "the gospel is the only thing that matters, how can anyone have time for anything else" stage in being a missionary. I still relate to people, and understand but then at the same time I'm like "wait you don't go to church? What do you do with yourself?" I still understand that reading the scriptures can be hard for people but I will never understand when people can't pray. It's sooo easy to pray! You just get down on your knees, and talk! And you get hundreds of blessings, and good feelings in return. Everyone should just pray ("I just have a lot of feelings" I guess I'm not so far gone that I can't quote a teen movie.) I've always been known to have a passion for the gospel but now that is all I can really talk about it's a burning fire. We have been encouraging all the members to have a nonmember or less active at our dinner appointments. Our dinner appointment brought his cute nonmember friend to dinner, and we taught her the Restoration! She said that she wants to learn more. We asked her to read the Book of Mormon, and she said "Umm sure, I mean I've always wanted to read it so maybe this is a sign, so yeah, yes I will read it." Miracle, oh miracle! Usually people are all "umm..." Turns out people like things fast in this modern day, and don't want to read a full book to know the truthfulness of the gospel. Well God is good. I love being a missionary. Write me letters or emails because I love those too. Love you long time."
