Day 7

DAY 7- A picture of you and a letter
Now, this probably means that you are supposed to take a picture of yourself and then write someone a letter as the caption for the picture. BUT. I have a better idea. :)

This is me and a letter from 'my missionary' ;) It's my 13th letter and also my favorite. I got it today :)

Elder Simpson is my favorite missionary. He's MY missionary. (inside joke, ha) He writes me sometimes. And then I write back. And then he writes back. And then I take too long to write back so he writes again. Then I write back and....oh yeah I think you probably get it now. :) He is currently serving in the Independence, Missouri Mission. (but his mail comes from Kansas hahah) He has been out for 7 months and has written me thirteen letters thus far.

He writes funny things.

He writes serious things.

Sometimes he writes on yellow paper. (like today)

He tells me about the people he's teaching and about his companions.

Sometimes he puts stickers all over the paper & envelope.

He asks me lots and lots and lots of questions.

He puts smiley faces all over the place.

Sometimes he writes things in Spanish. That's the language he's teaching in :) I'm learning Spanish from the one and the only Mr. Cabanillas at Copper Hills High School. Needless to say- Elder Simpson's Spanish is much better than mine :P

And he ALWAYS bears his testimony to me and tells me how important the Gospel is and how I need to share it with others. He gives me a scripture or two to read and they've always helped me out.

His letters are just great.

I always get a really big smile on my face when I get a letter from him cause I know it will be chock-full of great advice and wisdom. HAHAHAHA just kidding but I know that it'll make me happy and feel better about everything.

Elder Simpson is one of my best friends. He always has been. I've looked up to him so much my whole life. I'm very thankful to know him and I'm very thankful that he takes time out of his super busy life to write me letters. I can't wait to have him back home. Seriously. Only 514 more days. :)
