Thank you for the update about Grandpa. It is hard to hear that he is struggling so much, but it is good to hear about him. Let him and grammy know that I love them both very much and that I pray for them and love their prayers for me and for this mission. I am also very grateful that you put money in my account because I really needed it. Emergency. This place is so expensive and I am trying to be thrifty, but it is very difficult when you have to travel everywhere because places are too far to walk.
I am glad to hear that your career is starting to prosper now. You are a super hero so forgive me for having no doubts. I have always known you are amazing.
I want to be part of a traveling touring choir! You all must be so great! Jealous na ako. I loved the pictures you sent. they were so sweet. Forgive me if this is really short but I don't have the patience to deal with this broken keyboard for much longer. I got your winters greeting package. Thanks for everything. You know me pretty well. The fruitsnacks were a hit with my district leader. The little thief! Just kidding I let him have some. He is a great little filipino guy who is younger in the mission than all of us except his companion who he is training. Things here are going well. Our numbers are so low this week because no one has worked with us and sister Noriega got sick on two days. But things will get better I know they will. This transfer has gone by so fast. I can't believe that this week starts the month of March. Soon it will be April and your sweet sister will have a birthday and then you will realize that I have been gone for an entire year.
The thing I wrote in my planner that I knew I needed to tell you that may bring a smile to your face or it may even annoy you is, "You would not believe how much fish I have eaten. I am almost sick of it. I have learned that I can eat it, but it will never be my favorite."
Sorry it has been so long since I sent pictures home, but the thing is that I don't trust this shop and I don't get to take many pictures because my camera wastes batteries so I am sick of buying them. I bought rechargable ones and they are not good too. But we go on. That is what we do.
AND!!!! I am reading the bible and it does get better. Not much but my understanding is deepening.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN

NNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SARAH IS GOING TO BE UTAH WHEN I GET HOME SO WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANG OUT ON WEEKENDS!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! AND SHE IS HAVING FAITH THAT EVEN THOUGH DOCTOR WHO IS WEIRD IT WILL GET BETTER!!!! and because this happens to be the case I need a birthday shout out for Sarah 

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!!!
I can't think of much else to say so I want to tell you that I love you so much and pray for you and I want the very best for you. (We had Zone Conference and it was exactly what I needed. Sister Sperry shared about tender mercies and I cried. Then during the testimony I part I got up and bore my testimony of Gods love and His plans for us. I don't like bearing testimony in big groups but I couldn't help it.) Keep working hard and all of you stay safe!!!!

Love,

Sister Newman
