Email #3

Hey mom I am working on sending everyone that has dear eldered me or sent me a package a personal letter from me. I am so sorry I am bad at responding! I am actually having a great time! The Lord has been blessing me and letting me feel that you guys are all going to be ok. The internet or computers here where I am at are all down except for 2 of them and so I will try my hardest to get on at 11 or like 11:05 or something. I will be on twice though for 30 minute periods. Something I have forgot to tell you is that Elder Jeffrey R. Hollands grandson was in my zone, in fact he was a zone leader for a week, but he left like last week and Elder Holland came to tell him bye. I think its weird now that I think about how families shouldnt meet up but anyway its really fine. I got to shake his hand in the small cafeteria we have. I forgot to tell you that last week it happened on a Monday, last Monday! I have joined the choir and love to feel the spirit there. I heard Neal L Andersen speak at the devotional on Tuesday night at the Marriott Center, it was a good talk! I love it here. I am sorry for the negative mail that I have been giving you and all the positive mail you have been giving me and the advice which I am VERY thankful for! I got a blessing and it helped. He said I was worthy in the blessing that I was living a pure life or something about me being pure I am not sure if it was future or present tense. I hope he just didnt say in the blessing that I was worthy based on my first Sunday interview with him. I told him before the blessing you guys were praying for me and that you are aware that I am a worrier and you wish I didnt have problems with worrying or something that you pray for me. I am worried Ill misquote him so I am just  remembering this all from memory. He also felt he should tell me that there was something or some piece of knowledge I would get out of the fast Sunday broadcast missionary conference talk that was broadcast, and I dont really know what it was but I think it was a revelation that I needed to accept Christ's atonement more in my life. I wrote it down but I dont have my notes here. He told me in my blessing I needed to open up my heart to allow the blessings of Christ in my life is what Im getting from it. I guess I am really stubborn and when I feel like I have done something wrong then I believe justice has to take its course and then there cant be mercy to take it away because justice must happen. I am a little stressed about things but the Lord comforts me in prayer. I need more faith with the Lord and the feelings and impression or if its is me being ocd or something you know, and I just really dont want to do anything wrong. He said some cool things in my blessing and it sounds like I am expected to stay out and serve the Lord based on the first Sunday interview and this blessing I got. He blessed me that I would stop worrying so that it would not distract me from my study times and such. I love you so much. FYI I have been printing out pics I take, I will send them home to you if I cant get this figured out. I love the temple and the spirit felt there. I hope we can all go to the Provo one as a family one day. I am excited to serve the Lord and I thank you for all the prayers you have sent my way. President Cameron, who is an awesome guy, told me you guys were praying for me. I think I have overcome homesickness. I mean, I still miss home a lot occasionally when I think about it, but I love it here and am glad I am here and feel this is the right place for me to be! Life here is awesome and I pray it is awesome for you guys too. Oh, and we have been instructed to only write on p days home, but I will send home as much mail as possible. I love you and will talk to you later today hopefully.
I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD AND COLE AND CARSON AND TYLER and Calli. I am working on notes for the humans in the family today. I will try to send them off tomorrow.

And he sent me a picture of where he studies.
