This week has been kind of hard for me. It does not make any sense because we are doing better in our area and I know 100 percent I'm where i need to be but, I still found myself having a hard time. I really couldn't ask for more and I did not know what was wrong. I'm still a little sad but I am not letting it affect me. I work hard and only focus an my circle of influence as the mission calls it. Only worry about the things you can control, like your actions, not others agency, or the weather, so that tends to help me. I've been out for 1 sixth of my mission already! can you believe it? It does get hard sometimes but thanks to all your support and prayers, the ups outnumber the downs. not like Nottingham. Sorry, I had a Disney moment there.
Next week we are having a mission Christmas party at the beach, so that should be fun, i actually get to wear comfy clothes! I can barely believe it!
I love you all and want each of you to know that. I pray for you all and want the best for you all, and I know that comes through this gospel. This church has been restored exactly how Jesus Christ set it up, it is a privilege to be a part of it and serve and receive all it offers. We all have roles to play in Gods plan. His plan is perfect and we should be jumping at the chance to serve. I love you all with all my heart, i miss you but i know without a doubt, the lord is preparing me and blessing me here in Florida, and there is nowhere else on earth, i could be that would help me or make me as useful as i am to the lord than here.
I'm doing good mom. I know it sounds hard, and it is, but I'm doing good. The Lord is taking care of me and you guys back home. I have nothing to worry about because everything will work out how it needs to. It's as simple as that. Excuse my punctuation but I got tired of doing it in this email. haha, Don't tell Kyle, hows he doing by the way? I'd love another update on the family. I miss the family but the weekly emails are good enough for me I think, I will stay focused. Tell my siblings though, I love mail, I don't open it until p-day, but I love getting it throughout the week! I love hearing from you and I will keep working hard. We are at a point where we are planting a lot of seeds and teaching a fair amount of people but a lot of them aren't ready to make the commitments they need to, but that's out of my circle of influence. I will keep doing my part and that's all that's asked of me.
Florida summers are here to stay but I'm proud to report I'm getting used to it, somewhat, as much as one can i guess. The worst part is when your sheets and blankets are damp every night... but that's ok, I'm too tired to really notice haha., I love you and the family and wish you all the best.
...and good luck with the library without me lol, (it will probably be easier.)
i love ya
