Marissa - Week 4: Logan, UTAH

Mommmmm,

Thanks for emailing me! I'm doing great, I sent a mass email out for you and the family with all my adventures that I've gone through here in Logan. I'm glad you liked my letter. I really love you guys and I really have been blessed so much to have a mom like you. So I still have my phone, it's just in my suit case front pocket zipped up and locked a way. I haven't looked at since I got to the MTC. I would send it home but I don't have a box to do that and I don't know where the post office is here In Logan. So I was just gonna leave it in my suitcase for the next 18 months. I totally forgot that it was there until I read your email.  So being here in Logan is great. You really have nothing to worry about. Everyone here is so nice and they love missionaries. I love my companion so much! She's so cool and fun to be around (so much better than my last companion... Like seriously. She and I take turn talking in the lesson and we really flow it's not forced). We met our mission president and he is so awesome. He's totally chill. He's only been a mission president for a year and this has only been a mission for a year. Like when we got to his house he was like okay time for a nap. Haha he was joking but he just went and laid on the couch. I love his wife too, she's so nice! They have the cutest family and they took us on a hike on our first day and got us ice cream. I love them already! 

So My mission president said that they need more Hermana sisters so he wants me to start learning Spanish soon! So soon I’ll get the materials to learn it and then I have to start studying... A LOT! 

I asked this girl named Morgan to be baptized after my companion and I explained the restoration and she said yes! I was like "really, you will?" (I was so shocked) And she said “Well, if I come to know that it is true then yeah I will." I was so happy!  She said that she had goosebumps when I recited to her Joseph Smith's prayer. I love you mom and awesome job at getting all A's, you are awesome! Have fun with Devon and Robert and dad this summer! That's awesome that you teach so many people! You rock! I love you! Oh yeah so I get to read your emails through out the week but I can't reply to them until Monday because I have an iPad:)

(Marissa looks like she is having a wonderful time ---)

PS:  so we walk around everywhere so I was wondering if you could order me some black toms. All the girls in my apartment have them and they say they are great to walk around in and are comfy. I've only been here a week so I don't really know all the places we go to eat at so you can send money if you want, I get $130 a month so I'm pretty good on money though but money is always great haha. You can send what ever you want. If you see anything cute you can send it! If you can’t that's okay! I love you!
