Letters/emails begin!

HI So my email didn't work last week, unknown reasons to me and so I got it working the next day but my P-day was past. So my email is davita.graham@myldsmail.net. This email program won't let me return so it's just going to be a big block instead of paragraphs, also there is a big flashing time limit so it makes me anxious. I only have a half hour to type. Wednesdays are my Pdays. How are you doing anyone?! . I wish you could visit me too! Haha! Tell everyone Hi and I love them and I love being a missionary and things are going so great and I'm learning SO MUCH!!! I have TWO companions. Hermana Karras and Sangapolutele. Both are from Utah. I'm learning a lot from both of them and I love them both. H.Karras is 24 and VERy organized and prompt, I think it's been hard for her with me and the H.Sanga as her companions, we're a little slower. But I'm getting much better and really I'm not that bad. I go to bed on time and wake up on time, I was able to adjust pretty fast which I'm thankful for. I've been sick from day one, but now it's just a little runny nose and lots of snot :-) . No problem! H.Sanga is Samoan and funny and chill, she's not outgoing but shy when it comes to the mission work, she's getting better though, we all are, me most of all! There are 6 elders in my District and 5 Districts in my zone. 3 other sisters. MOM! Thank you SO MUCh for all your cards and love and quotes and encouragement! It is so helpful and I love you so much and am so thankful for you and your support!!!!! I'm learning about obedience all the time, everything man, just gotta be obedient! and recognizing and using the Spirit! SOOOOOO important, a missionary will be unsuccessful if they don't have the Spirit! The language is coming along well. I know I'll get it down, though not completely in the MTC. I'm very thankful that I've had some background, it's helping so much! I sometimes struggle with teaching the lessons, trying to say all the important stuff and still be using my testimony and asking ppl to commit and be baptized and get to know them. READ the PREACH MY GOSPEL!!! It is my life right now, and it's wonderful. There is such and amazing spirit here in the MTC. I get to hear testimonies all the time, I get to hear stories and encouragements and love and WOWOWOWOW! It's awesome! I'm sorry it's taken so long to get to you! Please give everyone hugs and kisses for me! I love you mom, and dad, and everyone. I miss you all of course, but not enough to make me want to leave! :-) . I am so thankful for this oppotunity! Heavenly Father is shaping me in amazing ways. Yes Brother Lindsey and his wife are in my branch, he's one of the counselors. I've been running everyday, this week. I made a goal to run 2 miles a day. We make a lot of goals. Memorizing things in Spanish, like the 1st vision and get-to-know-you questions. We say our prayers in Spanish and talk in Spanish often, not as much as we should though! We go to the temple every wed. It's great! I have a family name, I'll do it and send it home. You can send me names if you want! That's great you're doing some family history, SO IMPORTANT! BEEEEE missonaries, don't be scared or worried, follow the spirit always, help out those missionaries in Bethel! Always be humble, pride is very dangerous. I'm not saying these things because you have a problem with them or something, just to encourage and strengthen the importance of them. Thank you for your prayers! We've heard of a earthquake in Chile, it's right next to Neuquen, but all the missionaries are accounted for and there still sending them down, though it's delayed. I have worn most of my outfits! Thank you for shopping with me because those are some of my best cloths. I have worn my suit and got lots of compliments from it. I'm going to try to get some pictures printed and send them, I can't do it over email. My shoes.... I'm not positive on. They've been pretty great, but I'm not 100% if they should be the ones I use in Argentina. We'll see, I'll let you know. Maybe just more flat ones... I dunno. I just feel so grateful to finally email you and that I'm having such an amazing time. I'm saying lots of prayers, being humbled, learning so much, I need to work harder though, much harder, use every minute to it's max!!!!! My time is about up and I want to make sure this gets out! If I think of anything else I'll put it in a letter or email next week. My thoughts will be on the family and especially Atticus as he gets blessed this Sunday. I feel so much love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I know better now the truth of Joseph Smiths work and his heart and the restoration. The Book of Mormon is the best tool we have to share this gospel. Prayer is real, Church is SO important. I am so blessed. P Love Hermana Davita Jewel Graham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
