Dear Mother,
As I write you on this beautiful Thansgiving day I can't help but start this letter off with thanks from me to you. You have such a way of giving unconditional love for me and my sisters, something I really wish I could've recognized early in life. Just know that for as much as I took for granted you and your undying love for our family, I have made it up through careful prayer and repentance and how I can promise you that things will be very different after these next two years.
I'm glad Chicago was fun! That would be fun to go sometime!
That's also really cool about MacKenzie's patriarchal blessing, she is truely a great friend to me and I appreciate her example to C.J. I also really enjoyed your information and advice from Elise's husband's cousin (also serving in Managua). It's always helpful to know some inside tips. I got some from LaDawn Resendez a month ago or so but I haven't been able to write her back yet. If you see her let her know I'm sorry and that I'm workin' on it. Attached is my thoughts about the Sacrament that I hope can assist you on your lesson.
Today has been a weird Thanksgiving being away from family, but I also know that I'm not here to "have fun" and do all those things. I left all that behind.
Elder Holland spoke to us today and said something interesting, he said "don't talk to me about being homesick, don't talk to me about being alone, because everyone fled and rejected the Savior when push came to shove. You are here to help the Savior with his work becasue of what he went through for us." Let me just say, Elder Holland is the man. I can't believe Dalton is leaving the 10th of December, sorry the 12. That's crazy!! (he actually doesn't leave till the 29th) Speaking of him, ask him why he hasn't written his boy back yet, tell him bros before that H word that I won't say, hahahahaha.
Anyways, I love you mom, I can't wait to talk to you in 4 days! Keep up the good work! Our Father in Heaven is very pleased with you. Have a great Thanksgiving/week!
Love,
Elder Galvan
