Family,


Well the mission is great! Unfortunetly, we haven't taught Semesi, the rugby player, again since the first time, but we have seen him a couple times in the street. We seen our friend, Abou, again and invited him and Semesi to church, but they didn't come. :( Conchita is still in the hospital. It is kind of frustrating right now, because all of our really sweet people aren't progressing... but I guess that means we just need to work harder.

Big news this week, is that I ate at the Kersey (english family) home for the last time; they will be moving back to the United States this Saturday.... Yesterday at church, they bore their testimonies and I just cried. I love this family so much! I have eaten at their house every Wednesday for practically 13 weeks! We have had so many great and meaningful experiences together, I just am finding it hard to say goodbye. I was thinking a lot of you during sacrament yesterday Mom. I couldn't help but think that Sister Kersey has been my mission mom for the last 13 weeks and I love her so much! I feel like I have been a part of their family! During fast and testimony meeting they had so many great things to say about the opportunity they had to have the missionaries over each week and the blessing it was to have our influence on their children. I never realized the impact I had on the family, but I now I realize their children were like my brothers and sisters! Then the closing him came and we sang "Families can be together forever" and I lost control of my tear maker! I have already left my family once, and I feel as though my family is now leaving me! They have been such a blessing in my life, and I encourage you to contact them later!


I love you and I haven't much more time but I will bid you farewell and talk to you next week! I can't wait!!

I love you and Pray for you every day!
