Hey parents! You are right another week has gone by before it has even started. The world is so busy when you are a missionary,and time goes by so fast. Too fast. I am doing well. Yeah things get a little overwhelming at times, but that is ok. I am learning to deal with it. Thank you so much for always giving me encouraging words. It really helps. I'm sorry I haven't had a lot of time to write you long messages, but I promise I will be sending a long letter with some pictures soon. I just have to get the film
developed, then I can send you some pictures and stuff.

 

You asked if there is anything I need, just that skirt when it is mended. I am enjoying the other one you sent me. I finally got the package this past week. I was so excited to get the candy. I love those message hearts.

 

Well, not much else to say, except I am working hard, and staying strong in my conviction to do missionary
work. I realize this is a once in a lifetime oppotunity, so I am making the best of it. I just want to let you know that I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know the mesage I bring to people everyday about the
gospel is true, and that it is important for everyone to hear. That is why I am on a mission, so I can bring that message to all that will hear my words. What a stewardship I hold. I love sharing the gospel,and now that I am gaining skills on how I can share it to the best of my ability, I will continue to share the gospel through out the rest of my life. I just wanted to leave
you with those words. I also want to let you know that I love you and all that you do for me.I wouldn't be on a mission in South Africa if it weren't for you. I thank you for encouraging me to go,because I am having the time of my life.

 

Love, Sister Crawford
