Hey mom,

Thanks for the letter this week. What you told me was what I needed to hear. It is very interesting how the Lord works. I have been having a hard time but you helped. A lot. More than you will ever know. So thank you. It is hard having a comp that is leaving in July because all she wants to talk about is what she is going to do, about home, about school, about dating again, etc. Just everything. So I have been thinking about that too and I havent been focusing like I need to be. But I have been praying for help to focus again and to not worry about my life after the mission. I know the Lord will provide a way. Just like 1 Nephi 3:7 says. I am doing the Lords will right now and I know He will provide a way and that I will know what to do. I just need to take your advice and make the mission my number 1 priority. Right now there is nothing more important for me to be doing or to be thinking about. I have promised to Lord to put all I have into this mission and that is exactly what I need to do. I have just lost sight of that lately. But the one thing I love about the gospel is that we can repent and change our lives whenever we want to. He is always there for us just waiting for us to come to him. It reminds me of what the scriptures say. There are so many scriptures that say no matter what we do His hand is always outstrechted towards us. He is doing His part. Now all I need to do is do mine and give Him everything that I have. I only have a short time to serve Him like I am in the mission. He is only asking for 18 months of my life. Really, thinking about it, its not that much time. Its crazy that He only asks me for 18 months and yet, I am promised that if I serve Him with everything, I will receive more blessings than I can imagine as long as I live. And that is a whole lot longer than 18 months. Wow. That is pretty cool to think about. So thank you so much for what you wrote. I really really really appreciate it. It was like an answer to my prayers. Well, it was an answer to my prayers.
Also, thanks for the recipe for the cookies. I am definitely going to make this sometime. I just need time and an oven. And more supplies. We definitely dont have all the things that we have at home. I definitely miss these things. I wanted to write accomodies but I know thats not how you write it. I cant remember how to spell it. How sad is that? How do you spell it anyways? Well if you can even understand what I am trying to say. If not, Ill figure it out when I get home.
I am glad you saw the picturesof the baptism we had. We had a super good weekend. Friday night, two young men got baptized, Axel and Esteven. They were so handsome in their white clothes. They are both around Wyatts age and it just made me excited to see them because it reminded me of Wyatt. They will be such good missionaries. It is always so interesting to me how young men like them can gain a testimony and be converted to the gospel. It just shows me how true the gospel is and how Heavenly Father loves all of His children. He wants everyone to hear and accept His gospel. I know not everyone does and not everyone will but He gives us all the chance. So they were baptized Friday night and it was super good. I am so glad our YMs president is good. As long as he is there with those boys, they will be just fine. Also, Saturday we had a baptism. That was a miracle one! I have been working with him since December. Oh man, he has been one stubborn person. But the work paid off and he put his faith in the Lord. About 9 years ago the missionaries taught him and he was baptized but he didnt ever go to church so he was never confirmed. Talk about a missionaries worst nightmare. Well one of them. So one day we, Hna Fabregas and I, were knocking on doors and we found him and he told us what had happened. So we started teaching him. And we just taught and taught and retaught and retaught everything. He read the Book of Mormon in like 3 weeks and liked what he read. He was just nervous to make a decision because of what happened last time. He thought he would do it again. And this whole last week he has just been playing with us because we would always tell him that he is ready to be baptized and then he would always tell us we were crazy. And he would joke around and tell us stuff like you just think I will come on Sunday but what if I dont wake up or I decide I dont want to be a member. Oh man, it was tough with him. But the work paid off and I am so grateful. I know he will be a strong member and that he will stay active. It cam to the point with him that he knew it was true, he was just scared. And it would have broken my heart if he had decided not to be baptized because it would have been like him rejecting the Lord. I cant think of anything more heartbreaking than that. Knowing someone knows its true and yet them slamming the door to it. I know I will never understand how the Lord feels but oh man. I dont want to. I get a glimpse of it when people reject us in the mission when they know its true yet wont make a committment with the Lord. So this weekend was a good weekend.
And I am so excited for this next weekend!!!! General conference!!!! I know it will just be awesome. I cant wait. I also cant believe this will be my second one in the mission and that we are almost in April. Holy cow. But I am excited to be taught by the Spirit and know what I need to do to change or be better. It is going to be great. And it will be even better if we can get our investigators to come. There are some that need to hear the prophets voice to know that we have a living prophet and that he is the mouthpiece for the Lord. There are so many people that just dont understand that. So we are hoping and praying that some of them can come.
Anyways, thanks for the letter again mom. I started crying when I was reading it because it really was just what I needed to hear. I needed someone to tell me to get my mind off of other things and into the mission. And so thanks. I dont know if you felt like you were following the Spirit but you sure were because it was what I needed. I promise I will re-focus myself in the mission and serve the Lord with all I have. I will make Him proud and you guys proud. I dont want to come home with any regrets. I have seen too many missionaries in the wards and stakes I have served in that have regretted things they did and it just messes them up. Granted, the things they did would make any person, missionary or not regret the decisions. So I will be better and serve harder. I wont think about these things during the week. Anyways, I know I have said it a few times but thanks. I really cant describe or express my thanks.
Love you all!!! Yo se que la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias es la unica iglesia sobre la faz de la tierra que es verdadera. Yo se que Jose Smith fue un profeta de Dios. Yo se que a nuestro Padre Celestial y a Su Hijo se le aparecieron a Jose Smith y le hablaron. Estoy tan agradecida para tener este conocimiento en mi vida y para ser miembro de este hermoso Evangelio. Estamos en la verdad. Yo se que tenemos un profeta viviente hoy en dia y que el communica con Dios. Dios me ama y me conoce. Quiero decir mas y compartir mas de mi testimonio con ustedes pero no tengo tiempo. Solo se que estoy en Honduras porque Dios quiere que este aqui. Te amo mucho!!!!!
I hope everything is right. I didnt have a lot of time and I want to translate it for you but I cant. Just translate it with some website on internet. Love you!!!
Your favorite hermana,
Hermana Kylee Fronk
