first couple of days but it is getting better for sure. We went to our first dinner appointment last night, it was like meat balls, rice, vegetables--a standard dinner. The dessert was this intense chocolate syrupy souffle looking thing. So we are planning on cooking so if you want to send any recipes that we typically made I will give it go. My companion and I are both from Utah she is from Bountiful so we are a lot a like and we like a lot of the same things. President and Sister Morgan are really sweet I looked rough the day I got here (it showed that it had been a long day hehe). Oh well, can't change that but they were very warm and loving the party was fun. We talked and just kind of got to know each other. There are more sisters here than ever before and they are all pretty excited about the sister power it is going to bring. Wow, Stilson got married huh? Wow, that is cool that they have a chance to be happy now. How are Ash and Matt (*editors note* - we are good)? everything good? They are probably busy as usual. Yeah I think that is the way I would choose to go...together. I am so proud of Ash, she is amazing if only I had her help to pass tests I would be feeling pretty good. She can do it. She is pretty much beyond impressive! I am sure she is being kept busy because they recognize she is one of the best, and if they don't yet they will! About Thanksgiving, there are some couple missionaries who are putting on Thanksgiving for us so sweet! I am excited because all the missionaries in our zone are coming. My MTC district got pretty split up so there are only 3 of the 10 in Regina, but it is still better than just me. The other day someone asked us if we were going home for Christmas and I told them no. They looked at us in astonishment and couldn't believe it. It is a price that I am paying right now for the opportunity to be here. He thought we were quite peculiar on that one. I show Kamryn off in the book Ash made me, it has been a good thing to have although I don't have all my pictures it is a good start for sure. Of course she likes you, you are Grandma! That is so sad about Brynlee that makes my mouth hurt, that would be miserable! We have a family of dancers! It is good to have some support and friends so moving will be good for them,hehe. Good ol' bachelor, I didn't have time to call Linda at the airport we were pretty busy but relay the message that I love them! Oh Marlee the little roll of fun, she was already getting a personality so now I am sure its even better, hehe. I would be extremely excited about Maudi's dance recital! It will be so funny! The cabin will probably be small but it will still be good. So I am happy to hear Grandpa is doing a little better, he is such a good guy and I really hope he gets fully recovered. I am praying for him. That is crazy about Michael's call, that is exciting! Hopefully it isn't as cold as it is here. Good ol' pushing the button its important, but always quite intense. That is good he isn't as shy, because it is hard to be a missionary and be shy. In the MTC some of the couples there were on their 6Th missions, I think it is worth it if they continue to come back. We have some very sweet senior missionary couples out here that are really cute.

But remember I am only here 6 weeks for sure, and now it is more like 5. But as of 3 days ago I will have been out of a month. OK, spiritual time - Mom, know that I am protected out here. I don't want you to worry. I have been trying to make my prayers less repetitious and more meaningful. It is a working process, but it is helping so much. Also, I know that there are reasons people are put in our paths. The family I was talking about (Jim and Dianne) we had the wrong address on. We had the cousin's address but she just happened to be there, and we got to teach both families at once. Had we gone to her house that is across the street we wouldn't have found them. I have scripture especially for you. Mosiah 28:5-7. We have a daily morning exercise and at 8 am we have personal study. I can't tell you how much I have been learning. I started at the first and wow, it is amazing how much can be applied to you. I hate when it's over because that is my only time to be by myself to think, study, learn how I can teach others, learn how I can grow personally, and really how I can be strengthened to teach these amazing people. I want people to know how important the gospel is to me, I want them to see the light and want to improve. I want to be perfected through our Savior and really have the chance to be something more than just myself. I love you mom. Today I read 1 Nephi 13 and how it prophesies of both the Book of Mormon and Bible and how they are there to teach and testify of each other that we may have the fullness of the gospel. We are so blessed. I will get to go to the temple next week and I am so excited. I love this gospel, and sharing it. I still feel very weak in myself, but I know the Lord can fill my mouth. I am trying to recognize the Spirit more in my life. If you want to send this to whoever you are welcome to. Just know I am happy and all is well. And most importantly THANK YOU! You helped me so much so that I was prepared to be here both physically (clothes), and spiritually for your example. I will write a letter later. Most emails probably won't be this long. We have a P-Day activity coming up where all the sisters and elders play some kind of activity so it should be fun. I will talk to you next week. I can check the blog so I need the address for next week. THANKS!
Love, Sister North
