Letter to Sister (May 6)

Hey Sister!  
So, I don't think my email sent to you.  I'm sad, but it wasn't very good so, o well.  So I have a few minutes before bed so I thought I'd jot a little note.  I should e memorizing James 1:5 or John 3:16 in UK or memorizing the first vision.  But, I really miss you.  I had not so good of a day today.   I don't want to leave my companion and go run, but sometimes I just have to get a good sweat and kill my negativity so I feel like I'm just dumping her into another companionship.  
 I absolutely love being a missionary.  I am learning a lot & I love Sister Howell.  Sometimes I do get annoyed with the Elders but they are wonderful.  So, help me be humble, (The Lord is doing a pretty good job at showing me I'm not.) and help me develop charity.  I want to love everyone and I want to inspire and motivate the Elders to be the best that we can be.  I haven't had time to read the leadership talks you sent me.  I'm kind of learning a language in 3 months...I really like to fill every second to be as productive as I can. 
I barely find time to read the letters you write but thanks!  I love you & Will!
Um...could you get Val's address and Dad's e-mail.  I need to write Dianne.  She sent me some amazing sheets & a cardigan/sweater.  Life is great though.  There are 3 Ukrainian Elders & I asked if they would be my best friends.  They said sure & now avoid me and wave awkwardly as I pace back and forth outside their classroom.  No just kidding.  Their schedule has been off today & I don't really pace back & forth.  I just peek in every time I walk by.  They are very kind & supportive & absolutely love that we are serving in their country.  I told them to give me some referrals!  But, the Ukrainians are awesome, we contact them (speak Ukrainian) as much as we can.  

We heard from an apostle Tuesday night!  Rumors were a little off...I should have known it wasn't Elder Bednar, he was speaking to you.  It was Elder M. Russell Ballard. He spoke to us about desire.  I'd share more but I only have 15 minutes & I have to wash my face and brush my teeth & read my KHUTA (Book) MOPMOH (Mormon) for 10 minutes out loud.  
You are absolutely amazing.  I wish I could have your help.  Call Grandma and tell her Happy Mother's Day for me and that I love them and miss them!
I am absolutely happy to be serving the Lord!

P.S. No I don't know where the Granola is in the Caf and the wraps are still not so good
P.S.S I'm almost a vegetarian.  The meet here is so bad!  I tried Chinese today...hmm...makes you think...
P.S.S.S Thanks for the fruit snacks!  I'll deplete your food storage if you need me to!
