Hello everyone! I'm going to share a little thought today
that I was talking with my dad about that I learned this week. In Uncle Rick's amazing
letter, he mentioned about being "Homesick." or about being "Trunky" - a term missionaries for generations used to describe want to
"pack up their trunks"... For some missionaries, it's a bad thing sometimes
because they're focusing on other things other than their work. But this week, Elder Peterson enlightened me this week: He said "I'm
looking forward to going home - it's not being trunky, but just looking forward
to being home again because of all those people whom you love and who love you.
It's like if your mission was life and after your mission is heaven. Someone
once told me that whenever you feel sad or depressed in this life, you're just
trunky
for heaven."
Cool huh? It's a bit shorter this week, but I know these things are true. If ever you feel like life just not going well or even not worth it, just remember you're trunky for heaven. My commitment to all of you is to help one person this week feel a little less homesick. I'm not going to tell you how, but you can report to me next week ;)

[At least I DID find out where his companion is from!]
His companion’s name is Elder Reese Petersen. His parents are Brent and Stacey Petersen. They did live in Ellendale (close to Albert
Lee), but now they live in Sartell. [My
Mom will be happy cuz I think my Grandfather was born in Ellendale! J Mom: you may want to make a comment and give
us the scoop!]
