3rd Week Complete!!!

Letter written from Jenna on May 18

Hi family!!!
How are ya'll??? How is it going in the real world? Do you think much has changed? I know for me it has!!! I must admit, all of your writing is so different from what you talk like...I don't know how to explain it, but I love it! It cracks me up! Nothing here is really new, but I'm growing so much! I feel like I'm not the same anymore. It is quite the feeling. Elder Hinkley came and talked with us last night, that was pretty cool. He left some time for questions and answers. One question was what did your dad teach you? He said the same thing I would have said! To love my family, honor my covenants, and to work hard! I must admit I almost started crying right there. Don't be alarmed though, this week my emotions have been all over the place! I thought I was doing so well, then bam! I'm bawling like a baby every time I turn around. I hear this is normal, so I'm not too worried.
It is funny, the more time you spend with someone the more flaws they have....not necessarily flaws, just things that drive me crazy!!! Sis. Smart is still cool, but I feel like an outsider when her and one of the other sisters start talking...it is like she only endures me because she has to. It is almost depressing.
So time for question answering.....
The new language program is pretty cool. They speak only in the mission language, and you are expected to teach in your mission language the first day! It is pretty hard from what I've heard, but they are switching to it, so it must be good! And it must work! Don't worry Jake, they won't start till August.
The spirit is so strong. It is always there. I love it! It is like there is something always hugging you...just peace and calm feelings all the time!
Dad, it is funny how you talked about the Atonement, that has been our theme this week. The Atonement, and what it means to our investigators lives. We are starting to teach the second lesson, which has the stress point of the atonement.
About the language...yeah I've hit a wall. I am understanding more and more, but for some reason I just can't say what I want! I know what I want to say, but I can't get it out! It is the weirdest feeling! I hope that I can climb over this wall soon! I'm getting left in the dust! I know how to conjegate...but I can't say it!!!! So frustrating, but I'm busting my butt trying to do it!...and yes I can say that because that is what Elder Hinkley said!
Daryl Ward is meeting with the missionaries huh? That is pretty cool! I remember hearing about him on Easter...Dad you are a part of that!!! Isn't it amazing how member missionaries work! That is the best way we get our investigators.
Well, my time is up! Love you family! God speed!
