Hey I'll respond to your emails P-Day, but figured I'd send this to you while I'm on, it's my letter to President Morby, but figured it works for y'all as well (obviously changed some words). (P-Day is apparently either Monday or Tuesday)
Family,
This past week has helped me to grow a lot. I have become much more comfortable speaking with people, and sharing what I know; and that's just it. Sharing what I know to be true, in a way that relates and teaches them. That is why I came on a mission, to share what I know, and help them onto the path so they can know as well. I've been doing a lot of studies, but I know I need to do more. When I read from the Book of Mormon each morning, I get something out of it for myself, that I end up sharing in a lesson because it seems to apply to them as well. I think study is very important, the more you study with your heart opened to learning for others, the more you will recieve to help those people. I think the investigators we have are doing well, and we are helping them to understand. It is very apparent how important it is to teach people, not lessons, especially having to break down lessons as simplistic and personal as possible. Ridiculously simplistic. But I love it! I have been having a great time, and I always remeber to thank Heavenly Father for the trials he puts into my life, because I know that they are here for us to grow, and that He will give us the help and strenght we need to make it through. I am so grateful for this gospel, and am excited to help others be excited in it too. Oh! I gave my first anointing blessing to a less-active member, and it was wonderful. Well, that's about all for now.
I am grateful for you and all you do!
LOVE YA!
Elder Jorgensen
