Dear Mom,

 

Good news, i am feeling much better!!! I did have to take another sick day, which was VERY obnoxious. But, I am doing much much better. We called Hermana Detlefsen, and she gave us the name of a pill to buy, and I have been taking it every night, and it has made a world of difference! I still get headaches a little, but I have been able to work! And that is a great feeling!!!

 

Ha ha, it sounds like your summer weeks are just as busy as your school weeks!!! Okay, before I forget, would you be able to send me a couple of recipes? Cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, no bake cookies, just a couple things like that? That would be so awesome!

 

Damian is still on schedule for his baptism! He really is so great! I am so impressed with him! He is so smart and has such a desire to learn and grow, even though his mom isn't pushing him at all! He comes to church every week with his brother, and is reading and praying every day on his own! We are very excited for his baptism, and no one is more excited than he is!!

 

We had stake conference this week, and we were able to watch it in our own little chapel by satellite! Are you ready for who spoke?! Claudio Zine (70), Roxanne Wixom from the general primary presidency, and Elder Andersen from the 12 and President Packer! It was really cool. But I kinda wish we were able to go to Bahia to watch... But the good news is I understood a lot of what was being said!!! I was very excited!!!

 

There isn't much other news. This week really wasn't that exciting. There was a lot of people saying no this week. But this next week will be so much better! And next weeks letter will also be better. Sorry there isn't much by way of news. Hermana Durham and I made it through transfers still together! And we learned that we will be getting 20 new hermanas in the next 3 transfers. We only have 18 right now, so the chances of all the hermanas training is very high. I am very scared. I don't think I know enough to be able to do something like that. I have very good motivation to study as much as I possibly can.

 

Oh, and President Detlefsen has had some recent heart problems, he is getting some tests done today, so if you can include him in your prayers that would be wonderful!! He is great, and I hope everything turns out okay!

 

It is starting to get pretty cold, but we haven't had much rain. So far I haven't gotten cold at night, and I still don't have a sleeping bad, so so far so good!!!

 

I am going to try to send some pictures now!!

 

I love you!!

 

Corinne!!!
