Hola Familia!
I am sending a quick letter to tell you that I am still alive and having the time of my life but don't have time to write much. We had a wild week with experiences that make you love the mission field that much more and have an even greater desire work harder. I have thought a lot about the missionary I have become and the missionary I want to become before I hit a year. I came into the mission with a vision of who I wanted to become when all was said and done and I have thought a lot about the progress that I have in this preparation. I have realized that I still have a long way to go and that I must focus on my weaknesses. In my studies in the morning I have focused a portion of my time in what are my weaknesses and how I must overcome them. I feel relieved to know that with prayer and faith Chirst will help me overcome this weakness. I actually came to realize in a real sense that only through the Atonement of Christ will I ever progress and improve. I am so grateful for my Savior and Redeemer and am actively looking for the sweet sensation of love that the Lord sends as we search for more understanding and comprension of His infinite sacrifice. I love all of you and apologize again for the short letter!
LOVE,
Elder Janis
