If I've learned anything on my mission is it's all in gods timing, there is no point in stressing out about things because ultimately it's gods work and he'll make it work as long as you are doing everything you do, hats the kicker you gotta put in the effort. We are going to the temple on the first I am so excited. And I got some really good news, I have a few recent converts that got active all the sudden and looking really good for the temple some time soon. I'm so excited about that! I love missionary work. Idk if you got a letter or anything but I got called as a zone leader. It's super fun, so many meetings and meetings that you have to plan for. It's fun I love it. However some sisters are off there rocker some times. I don't know how to handle that, haha. 

Manhattan is awesome, I haven't had a door slammed in my face for like 2 weeks straight. It's the best. All the kids are in this experimental phase which works on both the good and bad. Good they will talk about the gospel and try it out, bad it usually involves drugs or immortality. But it's whatever, the gospel is still true! 

Anyways hope you're having a great time with life. I'm loving it, my companion is awesome, I love him. We laugh and have such a good time and we are just going ham here. I love it! My son that died is coming back next week so that's good.
