Marriage Advice

Hello Willard family on the isles of the sea! I am happy to report that Belleview Florida is flourishing. We finally got over this drought of no new investigators and I found some interesting people to talk with. We suddenly have referrals flooding in from many different members. General conference was inspiring as always especially in Portuguese in the priesthood session. I managed to find a brace for my ankle which is working very well. There just seems like there's so much to do and so little time to do it. My companion keeps making fun of me for my lack of time and he's laughing in the background as I dictate this email.

I've been asking a lot of people around here with the key to family success is things like that and they can give some worthwhile advice but I feel like I should probably stick with the church leaders. I feel like there were so many talks about marriage this time around but maybe that's just me. Last general conference in Palm Bay there was a Sister ready to leave the mission and she said that she thought every talk was about having kids and teaching them and I thought that was kind of funny until it happened to me. I'm not getting homesick or anything just yet but maybe I'm thinking a little bit too much about the future. I hope I don't end up like some misguided RM's and marry a sister that I met on the mission but after two years they're starting to look kind of cute. That wouldn't be too bad though right? If I could get some advice from Howard or maybe Marnie that would be great,
thanks.

I meant to ask a couple weeks ago for a copy of Jackson's talk. If Pres. Southworth thought it was the best youth talk he's ever heard than I would like to see it as well. I hope Jack is doing well and that he's not dating too much. I have some big plans for pre-MTC training when I get back. Nobody likes to be green so will try to avoid that. I am so glad that I will have a few weeks with Jackson for some one-on-one missionary role-playing. It's the time of your life so live it well.

I did get the book dad sent so that was good apparently the person that shipped it didn't send it USPS so the Mission office couldn't forward it so I had to wait till Thursday. It's an interesting read though I'm on chapter 7 I think.
I hope everyone is well and safe and sane. See you in a little bit!
Elder Willard
