Elder Jed Lindblom

​ Got to see josh this week and i am doing decently.  I have truly been struggling with depression as well as thoughts of leaving. I am going to be fasting as President has advised me to do to know whether this is where I should continue or if home is [where] I should go. I just love you all so much and I am not a fan of the constant unsuccess that is felt and the feeling of being unloved. I hope you all are staying safe and are not disappointed [in me]. I love you all thanks so much for the people leaders and love y'all have been in my life. Love Elder Lindblom

This week was pretty good. we got 28 new investigators and have been getting a whole lot of walking in and so yay for that. We tracked a lot more this week and that paid off because we got 6 investigators at church which was crazy. I miss you all so much and just wish so badly I could get a hug or two or three.  This is by far the hardest I have ever worked. I love the Lord though and the people, so yeah. love you alll, have a great week! This less active [member] is so crazy and is loaded with crazy stories and inappropriate jokes.  He tried to make up for the bad jokes but he spelled my name wrong. woooooooow I hurt my companion. I accidentally tossed a ketchup bottle at him hahaa! He is tough though only one stitch. ​So yeah that is about it haha.  So it has gotten down to 42 here look at the animals that start to come out.
