Hey Aunt Jill,
I am just fine. But I do have a little problem. I am allergic to
poison ivy! Last Saturday and Friday we had a service project with the ward. The project was picking up trash along some roads and these roads aren't like the ones in Gilbert. There is a road and on both sides it just looks like jungle! and we would sometimes have to go in that jungle which is full of poison ivy and grab some trash and I had to do that. so like a couple days later i broke out with these really itchy things and at first I thought they were from bed bugs and I got really scared but it was just poison ivy stuff.

It is cooling dow quite a bit. After general conference is when we have to wear sweaters. Then it will really start getting cold in November. Then it will start snowing!!!! Im getting better with missionary life. I am feeling less stressed, that is probably the best blessing. I am feeling more and more comfortable. Ive learned that missionary work will make you exhausted!! I am always just so tired. My mission president is pretty awesome. I have only been interviewed once by him and that was in the mission home. It was really cool cause
he like already knows who I am because of Skyler. Members are feeding us, but not every meal. My teaching pool has gotten bigger since I've been here. We have a few people we feel are ready to receive the gospel and be baptized. I do need some non missionary shoes cause i never brought shoes to do service in. But ill probably get some at goodwill soon. Yeah I have a really big yard. I had to mow it today.
It's just me and my companion living here.

Thanks for all the support and I will keep smiling. :)
