Dearest Family!
Can you believe that it has been six months this Wednesday since we have seen each other? I feel like so much has changed and it has been such a crazy few months since the moment I said goodbye at the gates of the MTC.
33% completed with a full time mission- that's pretty cool huh? I never thought I could do it!
Also don't get too excited but..... Christmas is coming so soon and we will be able to talk to each other!
Woohoo!!!!!!
Oh also some very exciting news..... This Friday I will hopefully be meeting my half brother, I was able to get permission from my president and so it is happening!
I am so excited to see him :) I feel so blessed that I get this opportunity!
This last week has been really good, we went on two exchanges and I was able to stay in my area for both of them. it was really cool because I finally felt for the first time on my mission that I was a missionary and that I could do this by myself.... I guess that 's what you get after 6 months right? haha
We also had zone training this last week, we were able to go to the temple and then we were taught by our mission president and other local leaders of our mission, we talked a lot about faith in the work... I definitely need to work more on having faith in the Lord.
Heleman 11:10-19 in this scripture Nephi is recording his prayer to the Lord.... I want to be better at praying like Nephi- persuasive and humble.
I realize there is so much I want to change in my life and about myself in the next year. I want it to go fast but at the same time I am so excited for all the miracles and the amazing blessing this next year will be for the rest of eternity!
I truly believe that this last six months has been the best for my life. I love this work and I love the Lord! I am so excited for my future and for the amazing life I have ahead of me :)
I love you all so much! have a great week and I shall talk to you next Monday!
Love,
Sister Emily Barnett
