How has the weather been- Super good! it snowed about 6 inches last week but it is all melting and now we just have slush and it rains a little bit. But I don't mind it because #1 it reminds me of home and #2 it's not freezing cold (THANK GOODNESS!!)
How are you feeling-I feel SOOOOO much better. I have been having a lot better morning work outs and that has been giving me a lot more energy. (thanks for my energy drinks that you and dad sent me!!) I just feel a new sense of determination to work super hard and to do my best. So that is a huge blessing
How is your new companion- I Love her!!!! She is so good for me. She gets super stressed out and struggles with self confidence so we kind of are able to help each other stress out less and talk about our feelings. We work really really well together. I feel like I trust her already and we are realy good friends. Thank heavens!! I have such good companions.
Have you recovered and are feeling like you are doing better with your stress level? I do feel like I have recovered. Any time I am stressed I think "is this within my control or out of my control." I also try to remember why I am here if I get discouraged or feel exhausted. That helps a lot.
Have you started to eat better? WELL.....Since my chocolate fast is over everyone is congratulating me by giving me chocolate. I have been not eating to much but i could work on that hahaha.
Did you get your box? YES!!! Thank you times a million!!! I love all of the things you sent me!!!!! Your the best!!!
Did you get our note about your student loan? Yes, please let me know if they said I could get an extension or not. I can ask my mission president if i can call them to get things sorted out.
And in response to your passport question mom, I already got my passport before I left on my mission. It is all good to go :) I was hoping you could do me a favor and look up on ilp.orgto see what times of the year they are going to china or mexico or what ever other countries they have listed. Could you forward to me what it says?? I would appreciate it a ton!!!
Well it sounds like you all are doing great! Sorry I couldn't email you individually. I will try to write you all a letter hopefully this week or next week. know that I love you all!! Hope you are having the best day ever!!!
Love sister Jones
Oh p.s. Mom we go on exchanges with the sisters and i feel like the biggest struggle they have is self confidence. SOOO many sisters (including my companion) don't have self esteem. They think they are worthless. It seriously breaks my heart and I can't really understand it because I feel like you always taught us to have good self esteem. You really taught us how to love our selves even in our weaknesses and even when things aren't going the way we think it should. Could you email me on how you taught us that and what you did to over come that. I really don't know what to say to these sisters to help them understand they all have self worth. I would appreciate it a ton!! Thank you!! Love you
Oh p.s.s. I found out that president murdock's wife, sister murdock, has a blog and I thought you would enjoy reading it. It is calledcoloradodenversouthmission.blogspot.com orcdsm.blogspot.com So you should look it up :)
Sorry I didn't have time to write a mass email. I will be better next week.
