Klay! This not opening this letter is KILLING me! haha i want to open it so bad. but i want it on my birthday so i am waiting :) it is just so hard not to open it! BUT! only 4 more days ;) that is going to be the first thing that i do on thursday :) it will be really exciting :) oh goodness... this week! It was spring break and pretty much i did jack squat. ha I worked a few days at rudy's... the flower place where i used to work, but other than that i didn't do a whole lot. Which is ok, i got a lot of relaxing in. I sent your birthday/1 year package! so be waiting for that in the next month or so :) goodness, can't believe it's been a year almost :) makes me happy. i am just going to say this now, YOU CAN'T EXTEND! ;) haha i mean... you can do whatever you want ;) I just watched a homecoming video... The boy called his girlfriend and said he was going to extend and she was so mad haha and then he walked into the room and surprised her! ha it was cute. but you just keep that april 7th date set. ;) So my phone said it wasn't rainy today in Salta! is that right? I sure hope so. I want people to go to church :( I find it really weird that they use that as an excuse. haha Klay I know it's tough, every week when you tell me about stuff that has happened I just think about how hard it is for you and i don't like it :( but at the same time, I love it. Because it is making you much stronger. President Holland said, "I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience." Our religion is not easy. I struggle with something every day, and I'm sure you do too. But I know that it will be worth it to fight through our trials. OH SO WORTH IT! When I think about the life after this, when we will be able to be Gods and Goddesses, I get chills... like when you used to play with my arm and I would get a bunch of goosebumps everywhere ;) It is something that I won't give up for anything. I cannot imagine the hell that we would go through if we got to judgement day and God told us that we were so close, but didn't make it. And my heart hurts for those that will have to go through that. But I know we can do it Klay, because we know better. We know the way to salvation and we would be completely stupid to not follow that path. But I think we are on the right track klay :) I don't know where we would be if you weren't on a mission, i think it would've still worked out with us and we would still be happy... but I know that we will be more blessed because you did go. I am so excited to see those blessings appear in our marriage when you get back. :) They already do appear, i notice them :) I love ya klay klay. Don't give up, keep workin your tail off in the rain ;) I texted your dad about micaela's email, so i will email her as soon as he texts back :) love you, have a grrrrreat week!!! :)

love lou lou
