Hey mom :) Tonight is my last night in the MTC so I get to email and do
laundry and stuff. Things here have been getting better every day and I love it
so much. The missionary life is so awesome and I'm only smiling like 27 hours a
day! I seriously have the best teachers and the best district in the world. I
learn more and more from them everyday and my testimony is strengthened
constantly. I know how important missionary work is and I wish everyone could
have what you and dad gave me.. that's why I'm going to Oklahoma. There are
people ready to hear about the gospel and accept Christ in their lives. That is
our purpose as missionaries and I try to fill it everyday. I've learned that as
a missionary I can invite anyone to come unto Christ whether they've never heard
about the gospel or they've been member their whole lives. It is really cool to
know that as I listen the spirit, the words I say matter to people. and I can
teach people. Oh and being a zone leader was probably the coolest thing ever. I
got to talk to all the missionaries with my companion and the sister trainer
leader, and we tried to make it a lot easier on the first couple days than it
was for us. It was seriously so fun to see all their bright faces and now
they're used to being a missionary and joke around with us. Our zone, which
consists of 37 missionaries, has gotten so close and it's really sad to leave
them. Nothing will compare to leaving my momma though. You've really been so
great mom and I'm glad that I got to speak on mothers day.. I'm sorry if I
talked about you too much, but no one else deserved to be talked about as much
as you. I've been taught to be a missionary before I got here because of the
example you've set of service and love. I'll make ya proud! I hope that you'll
be awake tomorrow morning because I'll be calling somewhere around 8:30, but I'm
not totally sure.
Love you tons,
Elder Hoddy
