Since handwritten letters are so far and in between--thought we would share this with you.
To: Mom and Dad
I know it's been a while since you guys have gotten a good handwritten letter from me, and for that I ask Perdon.
I'm currently in the Legua II. There isn't too much prosperity here. I'm not saying that it's a hard area, but it's not easy! haha It's pretty interesting to be looking at my mission at the time that I'm nearing for my departure. What a great experience. How Good it is to be able to know other people, see the effect of real life, and be able to see the hand of God in the every day things. I can truly say that although I still have my same personality and that I can be a little harsh at time, I can say that I've got a much better perspective of this life, the temptations and blessings. The obedience, I know I'm not perfect and at times I willingly disobey, but I'm really doing my best to get better. One thing that I've been able to learn, is that God loves us. We are his children and that although sometimes we can't understand all the reason behind everything, we should TRUST him, cause he knows! Anyways, Just want to express my love for you guys. I'm getting excited to be able to see you very shortly!! Thanks for all you do for me and my companions. Hope you enjoy these photos and pics!*
Love,
Alexander Cato Pinegar
*Alex sent us a bunch of new photos--they will be up soon.
