Well, Elder Jenkins is preparing to go home as we speak. We have already parted ways and I am with 2 replacement companions for today, and then tomorrow I'll get my new companion. It stinks to see Elder Jenkins go, he was a great friend and companion. We had a great change, worked hard. And now I think we 
will begin seeing the fruits of those labors (baptisms :) ) I hope so.
Ya know, things don't always go as planned in life (well, the majority of times actually) but we can't let that get us down and get desanimated. If we do we sink into a hole and it's hard to get back out, and that is what Satan wants. We just have to put our trust in the Lord and keep on going with a smile on your face. As long as we are being obedient to the Lord's commandments and striving to do His will, then we will have success in our lifes. Thats why the states is the most successful country in the world, it was built on traditions of faith; in believing in God and trying to do what He wants. We need to always build our foundation on the Lord and things will work out right. They may not be how we wanted them, but it will be what is best for us, because the Lord loves us and will always lead us for the best path as long as we seek His guidance.
Yes, the weeks just zip on by, especially now that I almost have a year. Everyone says that time goes by even faster the second year, so we'll see I guess right?
One definitely needs self-discipline as a missionary. I thought it'd be more stricter, or that I'd be under a tighter watch as a missionary. But thats not the case, theres all sorts of opportunities to be disobedient if I want, but that's where the self discipline comes into play, and training yourself to not want to be disobedient but to always do whats right.

You should go out and visit the inactive memebers. Many times that is the reason they don't go is because they feel nobody cares about them. Just a thought (not really its a commitment, haha. Do it!!) Well thanks for everything, I'm looking forward to the box! Talking to you will be sweet :)
Have a great week!!
Have a great week!!
Love,Elder DeLong
