My joy is full!

Well howdy yall!!!
What a great time to be on a mission. This week has been filled with a lot of ups and downs. okay so no downs just ups. ha ha this week went very well. okay so on monday i played frisbee golf. im gettin a lot better at it. its been rainy all week. We have had non-stop thunder storms all week. Way annoying. ITs gonna be high 70's this week though so no complaints. We had interviews with president Hutchings on wednesday. it went very well. Something he asked me kinda thru me for a loop. Nothing bad but he asked me a series of questions and one of the questions he asked was "how is your personal testimony"? I have yet to have someone ask me that on my mission. and i couldn't tell if he knew something that i didn't or what but it made me second guess my testimony. That has never happened to me and it kinda freaked me out. We i told him it was good and that was the end of the interview. Well the other day i was seriously pondering on what he said and im totally convinced that the spirit told him to ask me that question. So what i did was for personal study on saturday morning was i wrote down my testimony on a piece of paper and put it in alma chapter 30 where Alma meets up with Korihor and Alma talks about how he has a testimony. Good chapter bytheway. But anyway it made me realize how much a i know and how strong my testimony of the Gospel is. Thats my challenge to you is to write down on a piece of paper your testimony and whenever you are having a hard day or something just grab that piece of paper and read it to yourself. You will find that everything you are worrying about doesn't matter and the only thing that mattters is your testimony. Mom there were only a couple of things that i missed this week so in lue of that i will write you a gigantic letter consisting of my whole week and everything therein. We had stake conference for the whole eastern coast yesterday. Its was awesome. President Monson spoke and a few others. i love listening to President Monson. Okay so for mothers day i will be calling at 7:00 in the PM. We are gonna be at a members home and we will use their phone. IM so excited to talk to ya'll. Can't believe its been like 5 months. So im getting pretty scared. Im running outta time. i only have like 1 year and 3 weeks. AH! everyone says that after your 1 year mark time travel doubles. Hope thats not true. I love being out here so much. Its way too fun. Well i hope ya'll have a super great week and i will talk to ya'll on sunday. I love you so much.
