Hola Familia Amoroso

Hello my loving family!

Isn't Autumn wonderful? I love this weather enjoy it for me-
Mother you are going to laugh at me and be frustrated at the same time, I realized I forgot to put the size on there and wrote it on the back of Bryan Wright's letter and told him to call you and tell you and you would know what it means... :) sorry but i was desperate sorry i couldn't tell you sooner- just sports bras no underwire nothing fancy. Please also send some scarves-yellow, cream and a patterned one so that I may stay a little warmer- thanks so much. I love you!

After this I will only have two more times to write you until I'm in Texas- very exciting. Mother Thank you for your thoughts- yes it is a relentless work and there will be much rejection, again If it was hard for Christ you can guarantee it will be hard for us but we are asked to take up our cross and follow him. I think of Ammon in Alma 26: 27-28, read what they felt when serving- and they served for 14 years! I also think of the disciples in Christ's time, the Lord reminds us in Matt 10:35-38 that this work is not easy but if we follow him we shall find our lives. read please!

This week has been a refing of my teaching- the focus around the Restauration, to be able to leave a home with them assuredly knowing that our testimonies are of restored truths found in no other church with the authority from God to recieve modern-day revelation and proper ordinance work. Teaching is an amazing skill and I have so much to work on. It will be different out in the field. The elements of what I'm teaching must become a part of me and I want to know how it feels to give absolutely everything. I read and know the fine print of my mission : prepared to give our life to help men, women and children keep theirs.

Thought of the Week: "Don't indulge in judgment" I love the way this is phrase becuase no one wants to indulge and indulgement is an unneccessary and generally harmful action to oneself- I love the parable of Christ in Mark 10:17-21 the rich young man says " all these things have I observed from my youth" as Christ has finished telling him what he must do to follow him. Then in the next verse 21- the first thing Christ does "Then Jesus beholding him..loved him..." To every person we meet we must first love them "one thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me."

I will be praying for you much! As I have been praying I found comfort in the Lord's words to Thomas B. Marsh D.C. 31:1-4 " i will bless you and your family, yea, your little ones.. lift up your heart and rejoice." We are blessed because of our faith in this work.

How is everyone? I want to hear details... Dad- I made a pb and honey toast for mi Companeras this week in memory of you- I was thinking about all the wonderful things you have done with building the tree houses and the zip line and realized there is greater satisfaction in working, laughing, and progressing in the experience of being with you then the luxury of using it. The memories and experiences are priceless.

Mother how are classes? what are the kids going to be for Halloween..don't be hesitant is sharing things with me, it is not hard to hear everything that is going on. We are working really hard right now since we are limited on time- during gym I run about 2.5 to 3 miles while studying a scripture to memorize in spanish- we memorize 3 scriptures a week pertaining to our lessons and 140 vocab words, 20 a day. Our language study consists of four hours of spiritual and grammatical study and we teach 2 lessons a day to teacher in the "TC". These are our goals for our companionship. The rest of the day we are in classes for about 4 hours or so... During meals we memorize our vocab and go over tenses- it is a lot of good work and I've been thinking I'd love to just work along side an investigator in their field or help them with something then just know on their door. I want some more manual labor honestly. I'm So grateful for the pioneers who helped establish this restauration. Dad, I need to learn how to ask more inspired intelligent questions, any advice?

Is there anything else I should be writing about? I'm so grateful for all of you and i"m working hard to do my part since i'm n0t on the forefront with you...I do miss you terribly and you are always in my prayers. Tell brother Bybee I am working really really hard to be a servant of the Lord I'm so incredibly grateful for them. We have a really good companionship that we work to be united in the work.

Love you so much talk to you next week!!!
