I’m going to try (really) try to “forget myself and get to work.”  I had a super good devotional yesterday about being obedient and working hard. Mom, you know how you always say, “To find Mr. Right, you must first be Mrs. Right?” I realized yesterday that in order to have super awesome companions, I must first be a super awesome companion. I, like Nephi, have been raised well. Thank you parents for that! Dad, last night I had a dream I backed the trailer in. What the heck? Ha ha!! But, you were so proud of me ;) I think it’s because most of the photos I have and look at everyday were taken in the trailer. Please continue to send them along! Please send a goofy one of my brothers and I!

Alma 53:20-21 is my brothers to a t! They are young and true in all things BECAUSE they have been raised well. I love you!!!

I got an awesome letter from Chad. Awesome but messy. I have to clean up our classroom now and vacuum about 1million pieces of paper. I can't wait to respond...haha

The other day we had a spur of the moment teaching opportunity where members came to the MTC and we had to give them a lesson in Spanish. I was freaking out because I had nothing prepared and really don't know the language yet. Our teacher said, "I bet a lot of you are thinking, 'oh I wish I knew this language!' but what you need to be thinking is, 'I want them to come unto Christ.' When you make that your priority, you'll be the best instrument in the Lord's hands." I have been set apart to do this! And whom the Lord calls, he qualifies!

I get to see Ashling every Sunday. This week we had Sister Dibb (YW presidency and Pres. Monson's daughter) come in for R.S. it was awesome! It's so good to see her! (Can’t wait to see Lindsay) She wrote me a letter and said I was her crutch. And I said, no you're my crutch and she said, we can't both be crutches or we'll wobble over! It was funny.

I love it here one million percent!! I am always so spiritually full! I love everything I’m learning! I am so blessed!!

Today,  I just got back from the temple. Our district likes to go first thing in the morning. Anyways I did a sealing session and it was awesome! It made me *that* much more excited for a temple marriage. For anyone reading my words, who is not yet married: set your standards high so that you can get there. Do anything you can to make a temple marriage your goal. For my brothers: I am so excited for you to go through! For Morgan, after reading your letter, I can't wait to get back and go through with you!! (To the temple) It will be awesome!!! I have personal study. I’m studying Spanish Book of Mormon, PMG and Alma. I love personal study. I’m at breakfast now: tell Chad I tried jalapeño and like it. Next I have gym. Our district is really into volleyball. I love it.  Good stress release.  I can’t spell English anymore… Heavenly Father is taking my brain and getting rid of English and replacing it with Spanish! I can’t think of any songs anymore. (good) only himnos. Please send me the lyrics to “After Today” from Goofy Movie. I have a reason I promise.  After gym, class all day until 9:30 and its bedtime.

I love each of you! Love, Hermana Workman
