Hey Family!
Thank you for emailing me this week.
Haha Its been way too long. I missed hearing from you and its so good to hear
from my family. I am actually here in North Charleston. I love it here even
though I still dont know anything. I think a big part of it is my new
companion.
One of the standing quotes that we
say everyday at the begining of companion study is:
"I love tough things
I am the first to do tough things
I do tough things first
I am a FINISHER!"
Elder Gustafson really is that kind of
missionary and he has pushed me so much already to do so many things and its
only been 5 days. I am actually able to speak spanish a lot better. He is so
great! He is from Gilbert, AZ. He is a spanish elder. We strickly work with
Spanish and we mostly work in a lot of trailer parks. That's one of the places
that you really find the majority of them. Oh and since I have been here I have
been eating grits everyday almost every meal too. Grits really aren't as bad as
I thought they were and you can put just about anything in them.
I think my miracle this week is God
has really helped me a lot with understanding and and speaking spanish even
though it is still a barriar I love trying to speak even it I dont speak
perfect. That is one think I am working on tearing down my wall of my fear of
making mistakes(perfectionism).
It really was so good to hear from
y'all. I am doing great here in Charleston! I am loving my mission even more.
It sounds like everything is going good back at home and Mom you be careful.
Y'all are in my prayers. I love and miss you so much!
Love Y'all,
Forever and Always,
Elder Schroeder
