I can write and receive letters almost every day. So it would be amazing if you could write me.
As missionaries, our goal isn't to dunk as many people as we can and baptize them. We aren't trying to force our religion upon anyone. We don't teach. As missionaries, we invite and we help. We invite others to come unto Christ. And we help them by letting the spirit teach them through faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. The moment we tune into the Spirit during a lesson, the moment it becomes His lesson, not ours.
Several times in life, God presents you with an option. One of the options is easy, and allows you to stay in your comfort zone. The other option is to take a leap of faith, step out of your comfort zone, and requires you to leave what you know. The leap of faith is the way which God wants for us. But once we take that leap, you will realize how glad you were that you did. Going on a mission was one of mine. Another one of mine that I will do tomorrow when I go into a lesson and teach in Portuguese. How great the joy when you take a leap of faith. Trust in God. He WILL provide.
-Elder Nelson
