My Patriarchal Blessing....

Hello in the cabin. I haven't written in so long because I hate doing this with all my heart and soul. It only takes a couple minutes but I honestly dont care. Due to my cost benefit analysis I have come to the conclusion that writing a weekly email is not necessary for me. Alot has happened since I have last written tho. I am still in the hazelwood south area. I'm runnin it back a 3rd time with my 6'7 companion from cali. In all honesty tho I love him to death even if we don't always agree. I have a feeling this will be our best transfer yet. In fact when we found out we were both staying I looked at him and promised it would be. Happiness is a choice. There is always a choice and it's up to you. We never even got in a yelling match or anything but some companion inventories are multiple hours long. It is cool tho because we can both say the other is mental without raising voices our getting tempers flared. I had a private call with president and when I came out, I told him I was getting emergency transferred and he actually got really sad. I told him I was joking obviously but it made me feel good to know that he would have missed me. I gotta give credit where credit is due. He doesn't hold anything back and neither do I. He takes corrective criticism well. We also teach very well together now. Like I've said hazelwood is so busy I have become 10x the teacher i was in rantoul and he was a huge part of that. He told me that if I wasn't the missionary I wanted to to be, or thought I should be, just put in the work to change an you will. I took that to heart. Pray like it's all on God but work like it is all on you and He shall multiply your efforts. A couple weeks ago I got my patriarchal blessing. Yes I got it on my mission. I also didn't even know that was possible. I didn't want one till I knew I was 100% committed to the gospel and my blessing was practically the final nail in the coffin. I am 100% committed now. It took like a month and a half to get it all set up because my mission president and stake patriarch had never done a missionary before. The day finally comes and I show up at the patriarch's house. He had my comp stay up stairs in the living room while he and his wife took me down into this chamber of secrets lookin room. We talked about what the blessing is, and how it is directly from God. While he gave me the blessing I immediately felt the spirit so strong and I was crying the whole time haha. I truly could feel the love God had for me, and my desire to be as worthy as possible increase many fold. It was such a cool experience because I got it when I knew I was ready, and I got it on my mission from a random patriarch. Who else can say that?? The blessing was long and he told me that it was a very powerful blessing and he hadn't given one like that in a long time. My blessing truly is wonderful I read it like once a week. Still no news on Mexico unfortunately. My ward building is shared with 2 other wards one of which is s Spanish branch. I know no spanish but my heart yearns to be in mexico. Everytime I listen to spanish or talk to the members my desire to be in mexico grows more and more. This is the last time you'll hear from me till I hit 18 months..... J/K....maybe....
