Caleb:
Remember that our view is informed by our perspective.
Right now, you are fighting the good fight. Your boots are on the ground and you are struggling through each day. Some days, it may seem like you are being suffocated with challenges.
Hold the course. Be resolute in your determination to be the best missionary you know how to be. It is that determination that may be the source of your pain right now, but in time you will look back and your perspective will be different. With everything that has transpired in your life between now and then, you will be able to order your challenges and make sense of them.
I will say this much, I'm glad that Mom will be my companion on my next mission and that there will be no transfers. I suspect that when you get a great companion you'll never want that companionship to end. Just be a great companion so that those who get you will be appreciative of your efforts.
Mom tells me that Supe came home from his mission. It's a tough deal on a young man and I hope that he will be able to work through it and keep his testimony and good feelings for the church. If you get the chance of it, you might let him know that you wish the best for him.
I love you. I pray for you - more earnestly right now than if I know you are in a good companionship. Have a good week.
Dad
