Derek is a new District Leader

Hi family!
that is so cool that you sent this email the same day that i'm reading it haha. yeah i'm diong laundry right now. i finally got the package from devin! thanks brother! it was awesome. i was so excited and i loved it. the shirt you gave me and the "stress reliever" was awesome. everyone, thanks for your letters of love and support. it's so nice to hear from everyone! well i just set up this new email today so that took about half of my computer time! so this email won't be quite as long as they usually are. also, for some reason my ENTER key isn't working so this might not look as organized. 

well i got a letter from David in Japan that mom forwarded to me! he's doing great and loving it in the field. and guess who else i've finally heard from?? caleb! i finally got a letter from him and i was way excited for it. did you know that he passes out pieces of paper with his name and phone number so that people will call them to learn about the church. i've never heard of that before! i thought it was pretty cool. well this week was exciting! 

my district leader and his companion were made the new zone leaders. and i'm the new district leader! i'm excited to serve the people in my district further. i'm a little nervous about it. but i know that with the Lord's help i will be able to know their needs. it's pushing me to be a better missionary because i want to set the example for them. so that's great! 

well i want to share a scripture with you! read 2 Nephi 31:19-20. it's awesome. we must press forward in our faith in Christ. ah there is so much i want to say about these scriptures because they are great. it tells us exactly what we need to do in order to come closer to Christ and our Father in heaven. but i don't have time to write all i want to say. so take this in your personal study and see what you can get out of it. also, 2 Nephi 25:23-26. i love you all! sorry i didn't have more time! take care!!!!!
