Madison,
Hey, sorry I can’t write much, but I feel I gotta. I know what’s goin on. I never had a lot of friends, either. In school, I had friends like you do, where you go and tons know you and you’re funny and all of that. But outside of that, not much. Don’t worry about it. Even freakin here in the mission, some are more popular. It’s life. But you just gotta forget it. You’re funny, wicked smart, it seems, and are doing a ton of good things with your life. God has blessed our family so much. I know it’s hard, especially because a girl and her friends are life, but you can do it. Are you praying and reading the BofM and going to church? I know it’s not something you wanna hear, but remember, I was the most stubborn of everyone. And I changed. I know my purpose. And you will too.

Don’t worry. I’ll be praying. God will be helping. Christ payed for our sins, no? But something I always read that helps me so much. He knows our pains. Our emotions. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Read Alma 7:11-13. It is so cool to know that he can "succor" us, or
how to care for us, because he has experienced it ALL. ALL. . . . . .ALLLLLL. Keep your chin up. I get discouraged, too, but that doesn’t help anything. Just keep studying, and be nice to everyone. One thing I’ve learned, there’s always someone else. Whether it’s investigators, friends, (a spouse, what?) haha, there’s always someone. If not, I’m here, and it´ll be easier to chill after the mish too, with the both of us being in college. Cool freakin beans. Well, I love ya, mi ñaña, and I want what’s best for ya. Keep on keepin on, and everything will go awesome. I miss you a lot, too, but only about 14 months left. Time is freakin FLYING. I’’m sure it is there, too. Well, I’ll talk to you next week.

Love, Your Brother,
