Jared will return Sept. 19th and speak on Sept. the 22nd

All and all I'm tired but excited for so many things and am still working hard. I made some goals for my last 4 weeks in the mission to help me keep going and come home with good habits. one of them, that mom will love, is write in my journal everyday. Me and my comp are also trying to bring a new energy and focus to our zone this last half of the transfer.

 One of those wedding I talked about is still going perfect but the other one is being delayed because of the paper work.  They are still really excited about their wedding and baptism but it will all happen after  i get home. Anyways anything else you wanted to know? Sunday the bishop grabbed me right before sacrament meeting and asked me to give a talk on family's. I instantly thought of mom and how she always said that would happen. I talked about our family, told them that everything my mother says happens and what made the difference in my life.It was an ok talk but I could do better and am a lot less nervous to talk in front of everyone but I still get a little little nervous. I'm sure with all the talks I will have to give coming home that I will loose that.
