Dear Family,

Thank you so much for your DearElders.com!  I love getting them every day.  I know that I sent you an email, but 30 minutes is hardly anything.   My branch President is Pres. Gubler.  He works for the church.  He is an excellent teacher and always so happy.  The spirit is so strong.

I’ve changed so much in the past 5 days.  The Lord makes up the difference since he is our teacher.  Ok so, more about my district.   Four of the elders are going to Tempe, Arizona.  Elder Pippert, Hoffman, Cook and Law.  Edler Ah Mu and Berensen ar e going to Oakland/San Francisco, CA.  Sis. Wise is also going there.  Sis. Bramwell is going to Riverside, CA and my companion Sis. Holyoak is going to Edmonton, Canada.  So we’re going all over.  I feel so blessed to be loved by the sisters and elders.  I love them – like a Christ-like love.  It’s a common goal that makes us bond.  I guess that bonding so much for English speaking missionaries is uncommon.  At least that is what our coordinating sister said.

I feel fine now and missionary work is easy – like you said Dad.  Focusing on one thing is great.  I’m so happy to hear that things are going well there.  I will send you pictures next week.  Love you so much!

Sister Collins
