Hello family and friends yet again!! Not a lot to update you on this week. We have no new investigators because our phone has been broken and we have not been able to contact anyone... hopefully we can get a new phone soon!! All we did this week was a lot of finding in our areas. We walked and talked and walked and talked for hours and we were able to get lots of numbers... which is good if we have a phone:) Anyways, I love training and it's given me more motivation to try my best to work hard and be obedient. I want to make sure that I can start Elder Wolcotts mission off in the right direction so he can be successful and bless the people here in India!
Well today i thought I would give you a little idea of what my diet has been this month... I wake up have 2 eggs, toast, and buttered biscuits. For lunch...2 eggs, toast and buttered biscuits with peanut butter( some protein) and for dinner...2 eggs, toast, and brown sugar oatmeal! We are really living the life over here in India. I have to be honest i'm so bad at budgeting my money and the only way I've been able to have money during the month is to just eat eggs, peanut butter, biscuits, oatmeal and toast. If any of you would like to send me some food I would love that, but don't feel like you need to... I will survive, but i'd totally eat the food that is sent to me:)
I am just super grateful that i'm here in India even when it is really hard!! I've been sick a lot the last 3 weeks and the only way I feel better is when i'm studying the gospel, getting out to work and just sucking it up, or praying! I am grateful to train, but most of the time Elder Wolcott is training me and pushing me to just keep going! He is a great missionary already. I am grateful to be learning and growing everyday! I am so happy I made the decision to take two years of my life to work and serve my Heavenly Father... I can truly say that i'm beginning to really love the work. It is a process and doesn't always happen right away. The Lord always prepares a way though and he always makes sure that we are blessed! I hope you all have an amazing week and know that I love you!! That is it for this week... next week will be better!
Spiritual message: "I know that my redeemer lives"
Well instead of me typing up a long spiritual message I just want you all to sit down and read the words to i know that my Redeemer lives. Think about them and ponder them! I listen to this song every night before bed and I feel the spirit so strong everytime!!
Also I want you all to read 3 Nephi 11: 10-11.
I know that my Redeemer lives. He loves me and he loves you and he will always be there. Take comfort in that and realize that you will never EVER be alone!!
Highlights:
- Rode electric bikes at India gate
- Jay walked a highway similar to I-15! Nice Adrenalin rush!
- BYU beat wiscousin! Go cougs!
- Starting the new testament this week!
- Chased down a bus in the middle of the highway!!!

Phones... we have the same problem here in Scotland. Missionaries have horrible phones that break, get left on trains, work but no one can hear you. It goes on and on. Phones are a struggle. We got some new ones but they are so bad the missionaries are choosing their broken ones over these new ones we got. Ha ha. Hang in there Elder Jorgenson. I'm sure you are a great missionary and I think you are having some amazing adventures. I love reading your blog.
