What is really important???

hey fam,
How´s things? Sounds like everyone is keepin busy. Are the kids out of school yet? I think the kids here get out next week. We had a good week this week. I got my new comp Elder Magdaleno. We get along great. By buddy Elder Wright trained him so I knew him a little bit already. This week should be good. Tomorrow we go to the city to stay the night because on Wednesday we have our zone conference. Each christmas we get to go to a session in the temple so that will be awesome. We´re super excited. We had another zone leaders counsel this week and President´s wife stuffed us with food. Some pizza, country fried steak, mashed taters and gravy... it was delicious. And after the session this week we´re gonna eat some nice steaks in the temple cafeteria. It´s kinda weird, after almost 18 months in the mission, I´m finally learning what the key is to missionary work is.... There is a talk by elder holland that he gave in the MTC in like June of this year, "The Divine Companionship". Try checking it out on line. One of the hardest things, is having the Spirit all the time, but if we can learn how to have it all the time, wow is life much better. It´s such a blessing to have the Holy Ghost as our companion. There is so much power in fasting and prayer. The Lord always answers, but in his own time and his own way. There is power in making covenants and being obedient. Each day it´s a battle against Satan, but winning brings us so many blessings. Dont ever forget what´s really important. I love you all and appreciate all you do. Say hi to everyone. Love, Rees

Has it been 18 months? What am I gonna do when he's home from his mission and I don't have his inspiring letters to read? Could he extend? It would be for a good cause.
