July 16th Snail Mail

Dear Family,

How are you?  How was Snowbird?  I bet y'all are doing great!!  Thank you for all the emails!  (You know I do love written letters, too!!)  My email this week was a little depressing.  But this week will get better!!  We have zone conference this week which I am very excited for!!  I am giving the Diligence recitation in Spanish!  Yay!

My Spanishg is getting better.  I am still learning.  I think I will feel like I am learning all through my whole mission!!

It's way exciting to almost be out 4 months on my mission.  We were talking during lunch the other day and Sister Taylor, my companion, tells me that I only have 10 more transfers left!!  I have sure learned a lot!!

Somethings that have happened...My old roommate, Erin got married.  Christine Hymas got her mission call to Lima, Peru and Hailey Heaps got her mission call to Brazil.  Way exciting!!

One of the scriptures that hit me this week is found in Luke 9:61-62.  "And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.  And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

Sometimes as missionaries we think about home.  But we need to remember, we are on His time.  One quote that President Castro shared, "If you can't give 100% to this work, how will you be able to gie 100% to your family in the future?"

Thanks for all you do!!

Love,
Hermana Fitz
