​I’m not going to lie it’s been a tough week.  It makes it easier because I have such a great support crew back at home that is there for me. There have be so many times I just wanted to come home but I know I have a purpose here even if sometimes it feels like I haven’t found it yet.  I didn’t think I would get this homesick but it happens, right!  I have really just been trying to get through this first little bit.  It’s all good so no worries.  I’ve got this! Haha  I finally got my birthday package and it saved my life!!!  The office sent it to the wrong area and it sat there forever.  I found out I can get packages whenever you send them and that I don’t have to wait.  So that will be good. The golf putter was the best thing in the world.  I went nuts when I saw it. Haha I’ve used it so much when I just need to think.  
 
So this is my week in a nutshell: No baptisms and not really any new investigators.  We have had a lot of success with our current investigators so that is really good.  Next week we have a few baptisms and I am super stoked for them.  I have been doing a ton of service.  It keep’s me busy and makes people happy so I’m good with that.  You can tell by the pics I’ve been painting.  This week I led my divisions for the first time with one of the Gringo Greenies.  His Spanish is the worst so it was cool to see how much Spanish I really do know. I was able to communicate a lot better than I thought I could do so you know that’s always good! It has been a really good week for the Spanish side of things. haha.  The comp is doing fine and a little better than before but still kind of a butt.
 
Thanks for putting up with me before the mission and for encouraging me.  Right now it’s tough but I working through it.  I’m just staying positive and working hard!  I love you and keep safe this week!!   Mom, glad you had fun this week with the moms! I miss those guys and they all have great Mom’s!  
Miss you guys and hope all is good! 
 
Love you, Hunts
