December 28, 2009

Hi family! I miss you a lot!  It was amazing to talk to you on Christmas!  I'm still trying not to be stressed.  It will come. I just keep telling myself that.  You help a lot.  :-) I'm sorry I’m kind of rushed today. I probably forgot half the things I wanted to tell you. Just remember I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Hi everybody! Christmas was great!  Christmas Eve I ate some really spicy food and couldn't feel my mouth afterwards but it was good.
Our first Zone conference was last week.  It was amazing.  The president's wife gave a talk that seemed to apply directly to me.  I talked to her afterwards and she helped me a lot.  My companion and I have an assignment: laugh out loud every day.  It's been better since we've tried that.
I'm not really sure what to write.  I'm still figuring things out.  I do know I need to be patient with myself.  It feels like it's been longer than a week and a half so it's easier to be hard on myself.
I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ!  He loves us all so much! I'm praying to have that kind of love for the people I’m teaching.  The gospel gives me hope.  I know that I am a child of God.  I know why I’m here on this earth.  I know where I’m going after this life.  I know that God loves me and wants me to be happy. He knows more than me and He knows what experiences will teach me the most.  I know if we keep open minds and willing hearts, we can learn exactly what we need for us to be happy.  Keep counting your blessings and look for humor in every situation.  Read the scriptures. They are the words of God and they have power. Don't waste a single minute of life.  There is so much to live for even if it's hard to see sometimes.
With God all things are possible.  He loves us and won't leave us alone.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Happy New Years!
