I am learning a lot each day...

I have a few snippets from Morgans email this week. I caught her and we chatted back and forth so they are sort of all over the place. As usual, my questions will be in green, her answers will be in red. Am I pushing my luck to ask each of you that cares about her to send another prayer her way to help her in healing from some physical issues she is having?  If it is not asking too much again, I know she would appreciate it, and so would we.  She won't want me to include that she is struggling with a few different physical ailments, but I can't ask for your help and not give you a little bit of detail! She has definitely learned that PRAYERS WORK! THANK YOU!!  One thing that stays constant with Morgan, through all these little set backs, SHE REMAINS POSITIVE and upbeat and happy and loves what she is doing!

I just need to know how you are?
I am good. I am struggling with different things obviously, but I am good! hahaha One thing I am learning is that spiritual strength is much more important than physical. Before my acl tear I was so confident in my physical abilities...I think the Lord gave me this challenge to teach me that there is more to strength than just the physical aspect of it. It has definitely been a humbling experience...FOR SURE! The hardest part is that I want to be able to work harder, faster or whatever, and I feel like I can't when I am not strong or have pain. That's the hardest part for me. I want to give more, but I cant right now!!
Remember that---"I can't RIGHT NOW". Let yourself heal and then you can double time it!

I was looking in the church news at the new mission president assignment names, and your mission is the ONLY ONE that still says "To Be Announced". No name attached to it yet. Or I would tell you! I know it doesn't matter, however!
WEIRD!! Guess what, Elder Cook is coming to speak to us next week! SO EXCITECD!!!

Love you so much! Fill us in. Tell us everything.
So for this week, we were supposed to have a baptism this past Sunday ... and the 2 days prior to his interview he started acting very different ...we knew something was up but he didn't say anything was different ...we went to his interview and our district leader said it as the strangest interview hes ever had. Like this man didn't know anything. None of the answers ...we had gone over every question with him like 3 days prior and he did amazingly! It was odd. We feel he has some major issues with some things. We are heart broken because he was doing so amazing.

It is amazing how satan works on those who are trying to progress ... and how easily they can fall if they aren't careful. We see it too often, and we are trying to understand how we can help them have more faith in the Savior so they can be stronger.

Oh, before I forget, next week we have changes, and a fireside with Elder Cook so I won't be emailing until Wednesday the 23! FYI!

Yesterday was p-day and since my comp is the nurse whenever there is a doctors appt. she has to be there, so often she doesn't really actually get a p day. Yesterday we had to go to the capital with an elder for an eye appt. and so we spent the day there then went to the mission office to do some other nurse stuff. President asked me if I was excited to be transferred...WHAT! So yes, I am getting transferred next week because my comp has to train Sister Newman to be the new nurse. I AM SO SAD. Only because I am in love with the peole here. I can't leave them!! I am sad, but it will be a fun new adventure I am sure.

My Spanish improves every day. I still feel silly cause I know people can't understand me half the time, and I want to be able to talk more to let the people know how much I love them, but it gets better every day, I am trying to remember everything and it's so hard to remember things. The days all run together! hahaha We have a baptism this next Saturday. The only one will get to see in this area. This mans girlfriend is a member and he kept telling us he never received an answer...we could tell that he had but he didn't think so. One day we were teaching him and he said I want to be baptized this next Saturday....WHAT!!! hahaha he said I prayed and said I was going to be baptized and if I didn't receive the answer that I shouldn't, then that's what I was going to do. So now he is getting baptized and he is so excited. I AM SO EXCITED. What an example of faith. Sometimes the people here blow my mind. NO ALWAYS! They are amazing! I feel so blessed to know them and learn from them. It is such a sacrifice for people to give others their food, yet without fail people give us food just when we need it most and not just like a little, all that they have. Its so hard to take it, but we do it, knowing they will be blessed for it.

I am learning a lot each day. I pray for you all everyday and I have a letter for you coming one day! I hope you know how much I admire and love and pray for you! I HAVE THE BEST FAMILY EVER!!! Literally!! Love you more than you'll ever know!
