Sick as a dog

Dear Family,

Sisters Rock Lacrosse!

This week I have been dog sick. It feels like very little has happened, even though I know little miracles have been happening all the time. For example, last week the Lord inspired me to start putting up pictures of my mission on my wall by my bed. A few days later I was confined to that bed, and I was immensely grateful that I had something to look at to lift my spirits.  The sister training leaders have been wonderful; Sister R. was also sick so she and her companion came to our area in order for Sister T. and P. to do missionary work while Sister R.and I slept. That was nice. 

I've been struggling to keep my energy up ever since. I was sick virtually the whole week and now that I'm feeling a little better I need to refocus and get my motivation back in gear. I've been reading "The Fourth Missionary", a talk given by Lawrence E. Corbridge
and it's really helping me remember my purpose and what I need to be focusing on. I hope now to buckle down and give my all to the Lord and put up my own will for his. I recommend this talk to anyone who is struggling with frustration or disappointment. 

It's all about giving God our will people- That's all He wants and all we can give.

WWII Veterans

We met some amazing people recently. Since I'm going home soon I've been looking at people and situations in a different way. Have you ever noticed how amazing people are? When am I ever going to be able to sit down for an hour and listen to a 90 year old WWII veteran talk about his life? When am I ever going to introduce two adorable, wonder filled little boys to prayer, scriptures and church like now? When am I ever going to know every member in my ward, know their hopes and dreams, concerns and worries. When will I be able to be with a best friend 24/7 and talk about EVERYTHING with her? When will I ever learn so much in such a small amount of time? It's beautiful and amazing and I am so sad that it's coming to a close. I hope I always am able to learn and meet so many more incredible people throughout my life. I hope I can impact someone's life the way my life has been changed by these people. I love them .

 

And I love you! cherish the people around you- they're only there for a moment.

LOVE ALWAYS!!!
