New companion

  It has been rainy here so works a little slow, but everybody says we need the water so it we deal with mud :))) things here are good, riding a lot, signed up for lotoja this year, find out in May if I got in. At lest it gives me a goal to ride for, I've raced down at RMR twice and hong on no wins yet, but I did move up to a faster group and that fun and harder. Enough about me what is life like in your put of the world? Looks warm.
     We hope and pray that the new comp will be able to keep up with you, maybe you could get a greeny and you can train him to be a strong reliable servant of the Lord just like you.:) I want you to know we pray for you always and want only the best for you! You are the captain of your ship so you guide it how you want, just let the Lord be your guide don't let others push you around or make you feel less than you are!!! Bring them UP to you level. If you need food get it if you need to study do it if you need to pray pray. As long as you are following mission rules you DO what you need to do. You and your comp and the Lord are a TEAM so work that way. Love the people you serve and they will love you rite back. Make your mission what you want it to be, and what are father in heaven needs it to BE!!! Your on his time now, have fun be happy love every minute it will be over to soon your 1/4 the way done that's is crazy fast. So love it!!!
                        LOVE YOU MY FRIEND BE AWESOME
