#2 Email 1/31/13 =] WAHOO!!!

Hello,
I didn't know that, It didn't show up in the email you sent. I hope she is doing ok and will continue to recover. I tried sending more but it said the files were to big :P so I will try and send as much as possible but I have to delete some before I do. and I can't do that till we know more about my camera. With the shirts, I would like to (if you can) so send me not only the FB shirt but the shirts that you know I wear all the time please :) I love you!!! :D
I will try to do my best to write Sister Adams ASAP. The elders in the pictures are in my district, they are (going from left to right) Elder Crainer, Elder Duckworth, and Elder McPeterson. The one in PDay cloths is Elder Mecham who is in my district and roommate.
We have a total of 23-25 of us going to NY Utica on the 12th, Everyone in my discrict (including my companion) is going to utica as well as the other disctrict next to us. (thats the disctrict Elder Crainer, Elder Duckworth, and Elder McPeterson are from.)
Tell Reba that I got her letter and sent her one in the mail today as well as one to Nic, Max, and my friend Autumn from EFY. Nic told me that you invited Abby, Him and Max over on Friday to do something......are you feeling ok? haha Abby is always welcome to head over any time but.....Nic and Max? haha Just make sure they don't mess with my stuff in my room ;) haha
I hope Terry and William are doing ok as well as Susan and Lyman! I miss being at home alot, but what keeps me going is a quote one of my MTC teachers told us yetsterday. He asked,
"Do any of you feel homesick, depressed, sad or upset? Do you know why you feel that way? It's because it's satan trying to get you to leave your mission and to go home. You already upset hime by being here today, don't let him get to you while you serve on your mision. DON'T LET HIM WIN! The lord will and already has blessed not only you, but all the family and friends that are at home supporting you and loving you."
That has changed my mood and my look on things since that day I got super super homesick (which is explained in the hand written letter you are going to receive). Now I feel like nothing can stop me, because I am doing the lords work and he has blessed me so much, so that I can go out and bless the lives of others to come unto Christ and to have them return to their Heavenly Father once again. I know that this is what I am supposed to do, that the lord has blessed me with this work. I have never felt so close to my heavenly father before in my entire life, and I get to feel this way 24/7 if I keep reminding my self why I am here, and that the lord will bless the people I love and care about at home. Then I am ready to go out and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poeple of Utica. I love this Gospel and continue to grow that love for it everyday I am here and while im out in the feild. I have no doubt in my mind that it is true and that this is what the lord has planned for me.
I hope that if you put this (or peices of it) on facebook, that no one on facebook or at home over misses me. I hope that if they do, that they will feel not only my love for them, but that the lord loves them and will protect me while I serve and will bless them for my service.
I love and cherish all of you, and encourage you all to please make sure that everyone who wants to write me, gets the opprotunity to. There is nothing better than haveing the district leader come back to the classroom with letters that are for you that came from the people that you love and care about so much. :)
Until next time, Peace, Love and Happiness to your life and all your lives! :)
-Elder Anthony D. Zenger
