I am still amazed that it is snowing at home while it is so hot here. Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without snow!!
I
don't know what kind of perfume my companion is wearing, but 2 men
(strangers) confessed their love for her this week (2 different times).
Don't worry.....she didn't do anything to bring it on, the men were
totally drunk. I usually try to keep my cool when talking to people, but
the things they were saying were so ridiculous that I burst out
laughing a couple of times. For all men out there: if you want a
girlfriend, don't try a Sister Missionary......and don't try to ask her
out while drunk.
This week an 18 year old boy in my ward lost his mom
unexpectedly. He is the only member of the church in his family. He
came to church on Sunday and bore his testimony about the Plan of
Salvation. Wow.....I was so amazed by the strength and surety that he
demonstrated. I too know that this life is a gift from God. We are not
here by chance. We have purpose and a mission to fulfill! I have met so
many people that don't have goals for their lives. They don't have any
hope because they don't have eternal perspective. They think this life
is just full of suffering. They think they are nobodies because they
don't understand their part in God's plan. I KNOW that there is more to
this life than just suffering. Problems and difficulties faz parte de
God's plan for us to learn and grow, but we are also on the earth to be
happy to have happy families. Sharing this understanding with everywhen
and watching the world open up to them is the most satisfying thing
ever! I am so grateful for this!
I love you all and pray for your safety and
happiness everyday! Don't let a day pass without reading the Book of
Mormon, praying, and serving another!
