Letter from Jackson

hey mom!! well it still sounds like a pretty good week! it's a pretty funny deal going on with randon and his birds! haha here there's always chickens in the roads and stuff. the dogs here are normaly good friends with the chickens, i don't know how though. but wow you and dad and maren are alone now! how weird is that! and no aliza didn't write me or anything.. but i'll write here and try to cheer her up. but here all is going well. i just get stressed on how i'm doing with my comp. he's just really lazy and doesn't do things unless i tell him to do it. but it's all good. we are good friends! but the zone is alright i guess. i'm just trying to give it all i can! pretty rough.. but right now we are in a trio. there's three of us. in our house there's three of us and the comp of the other compañionship went home to go on his real mission in Guatamala so now we´re going to be here all together until cambios which will be this next monday! one week more of this transfer. then i'll enter my lst 12 weeks in the mission! thats super weird to think! but anyway all is well! i love you so much mother! i hope you have an awesome week!! bye!

dang that pic of daves vase is super awesome!!!!! he dug that out of the ground right? but ya aliza is getting a good slap to the face haha! i didnt get that until i got into the mission. the thing is that shell get another one when she heads out into her mission haha. but it will make her a lot stronger!! im super happy for her and that its going rough at first. she will look back in gratitude one day! but i also thought that the conference was amazing!! i loved it a ton also. i thought that they were really going to change a ton of things also but they kept it cool and simple like you said. those are the best and most understandable. i really felt this conference of the power that our general authorities. have especialy the apostles and our Profet!! im super grateful for what they do for us and the Lord. but the next conference that ill watch will be in english! thats super weird to think about . wow. but this next week theres transfers and ill be entering my last 12 weeks of the mission!?! i dont understand where all the time went but im super happy about all that ive learned and became. i cant wait to just give you guys a huge hug also! itll be super weird also. anyway love you so much!! talk to you next week! oh yeah thanks for all yuoive done to help me with college and everything! its really made me grateful!

Hey everyone!!! Sorry it's been a while since I've written a group email. But now I'm repenting and I'm doing it! These past weeks have gone by super fast! Transfers are this next Monday. Weird to think how fast time flies. Now I'll have 12 weeks left in the mission. I don't like thinking about that because it distracts me a little bit, but I can't help it haha.  All is chato though! Right now I'm in a trio. My comp and another missionary, we will be like this until transfers, so it's cool to be walking around the three of us. His name is Elder Patiño, he's from Lima, Peru.

General Conference was amazing! I was expecting a lot of changes and stuff because that's what everyone was saying would happen. But, when we were watching it, they really only talked about the most important things. Which is repentance and keeping our covenants. It really reminded me that it's super important with these two things. With these two things we can receive eternal life! Just always keep that in mind!  It will help you in life to find happiness. I had something super awesome to say, but I can't remember what I was going to say.. Oh well.

Anyway, love you all a lot and hope you guys have an awesome week and repent of all your sins!

Bye!

Elder Pollock
