SO HAPPY

SORRY NO LETTER FOR MY FANS THIS WEEK. I WANT TO READ AND RESPOND TO ALL THE LETTERS. It takes 2 weeks to get letters so I think I’ll be writing more on the computer, and we really don’t have much writing time. I know ya'll understand. Just know I love you lots and I love hearing from all of you. I’m so proud of you! I can see how the lord has been poring out blessings upon all of you and I see that all of you have become more firm in the gospel. It brings me to my knees to pour out my heart my gratitude for your testimonies. My life is blessed. I’m thankful for the hard times that make me more grateful for the good times.I love all of you lots! Te amo para siempre!

OH, OK HERE IS A COPY OF THE LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT

Presidente Lovell!
I’m so excited to see you tomorrow! Wahoo! It will be great to meet again and to be spiritually uplifted with my missionary friends in the work of the Lord!

This week was great! My companion is patient with me and we have become close friends. I love talking with her! She has so much to offer and I live off of her words of wisdom. She is a great teacher. The more we talk the more I learn and love her.

The language is getting better everyday. I’m understanding the Chileans better because I’m listening to every word that I hear and I peace together all the words I learn and then if it is appropriate, I ask what a word is that I haven’t heard before. When I’m not talking with the Chileans I’m reading and studying. I’m also reading out loud from a little Spanish book to my companion so that she can correct my pronunciation. I think it is helping me feel more comfortable speaking Spanish. It is so important to speak there language and tounge so reading aloud is helping it get engrained in my head. I’ve also been reading from the Book of Mormon in Spanish every chance I get, and I hope to finish it with the rest of the missionaries by March.

Thank you so much for the privilege to have lunch with Hermana Patty Leal everyday as my Mamita! I love her so much! She is a valiant virtuous woman of truth! She was a previous missionary and she helps me understand more about the gospel from a Chile stand point, and when I talk to her I understand the needs for the investigators and members in Alerce. Wow! If you haven’t met her or talked to her you should. She is an example to me because she follows the example of Jesus and lives the gospel. I want my family to be like hers. I love watching the love that her husband and children have for each other and for the gospel.

Hermana Carmela promised to be baptized 17-Enero-2009! I’m so excited for her and hope she realizes how important this is in her life. I don’t think I did when I was 8 years old but I’m so eternally grateful! This gospel is my life! I’m so grateful for my faithful ancestors that started this legacy of following Christ and enduring to the end.

Sincerely your sister in the work,
Hermana Wade
