Dear Hermano chaser Heywood,
Did they let you watch the Worldwide RS devotional? It was really good. They talked a lot about the power we receive by keeping our covenants. We received God's power as we love Him and keep His commandments.
"Faith in Jesus Christ propels us to do things we otherwise would not do. Faith that motivates us to action gives us more access to His power. When you reach up for the Lord's power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours. When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him—when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life—you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you should do." -President Nelson.
Olivia Mackey is getting ready to put her papers in. She said to tell you hi. She is a cutie.
Savannah Allen is opening her call tomorrow. That is exciting.
Grandma and Grandpa came and we were the temple a couple of times. It was awesome to be there with them.
Love you!
Mom

Hurray for savannah and Olivia! I say hi back
Im glad you get to go to the temple with grandpa thats awesome!
Those pictures are so cute! It looks freezing in Utah!
I miss you guys lots!
This week has been hard, Hna Coltharp and Hna Palmer are super good friends and had been leaving me and Hna Davis out a lot not on purpose of course, and it feels like im judged at every glance and my opinion doesnt matter.
I brought it up in district council after the elders told me to and its been a little better but not to much. Im doing better now though.
I notice that i hang around the elders a lot more than the sisters here because i relate with them lots easier than the sister which ive tried to stop doing so I can be with hermana c. Only 7 more days lol
Im really going to miss the CCM I've loved it here so much
Cant wait to talk to you!

That is hard. I like to think that your dad (or everyone else) is the problem, but when I look at it from his perspective, I can usually find things that I am doing that are part of the problem. Love her. You only have a couple of weeks left with her. Choose the best part whatever that is. Be humble and be happy.
Love you!
Mom
