holy c*w you guys! it's already december! Before you know it it's going to be Christmas! okay, i'm getting ahead of myself.
but this past week was one of those "little bit of everything" weeks. We laughed, we cried, we were happy.
The laughs:
Guess
who i got to see on Thanksgiving? It starts with a sadie and ends with a
leavitt!! Sister sadie leavitt! crazy that we were companions when i
was a little baby missionary. but she came to st louis for thanksgiving
and we got to spend time together at the mission home! We had lots of
laughs just like we did back in Salem, Illinois!
i love her.
The
cries: Okay i don't want to dwell on this one but it was challenging
this week to be away. but once again, there's nothing that prayers,
working and a priesthood blessing can't fix!
The
happies: is happies even a word? well it is now! but seriously, even
though this was one of the harder weeks of my mission, we came out of it
so happily! Sister fernandez and i are both certain that we are here
for a certain reason. and together for a specific reason, also. This
work is happy, this gospel is the gospel of happiness. we have happy
endings and we are promised them! I love this work.
A
part of why it's been so happy this week is because we have been
working so hard and more importantly we're taking the time that we have
to study every morning to really know the Savior. I've seen the direct
connection between knowing the Savior and being happy.
This
past week we have been going crazy with He is the Gift! We gave a
training at ZLT on Tuesday and it was all about He is the Gift. and then
we had to go to some district meeting on Wednesday and gave it again 3
more times! We learned soo much by doing this!
I
was also able to go on exchanges with a wonderful sister from Gilbert!
She just graduated from Highland in May. I love being able to spend time
with other sisters and hear their stories and help them.
i love you guys!
