Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore i will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in His strength i can do all things; yea. behold many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever! Alma 26:12

Yesterday was changes... and i'm staying!!! So i'll finish in mixco with sister Cardenas, and sister Alverez (from Honduras) we will be in a trio- so we are going to be able to work the area like never before!!  

I wanted to share something that our president shared with us......

Some days I wonder when things can just level out and not have so many ups and downs in the mission. There are many days that feel like I am on a roller coaster ride with many highs and lows in the same day. I thought about these sentiments and it reminded me of a little over two years ago when I was hooked up to a heart monitor. I know at that time I didn’t want to see a straight line appear on the screen. That would have been very bad news. The up and down lines on the monitor let me know I was alive.

President Gordon B. Hinckley once said, “I know it isn’t easy. It’s discouraging at times, sure. Aren’t you glad it isn’t just fun all the time? Those valleys of discouragement make more beautiful the peaks of achievement.” 
That’s what life is all about. The highs and lows let us know we are participants in this game of life and not just observing from the sidelines. We are learning and growing and not just existing…

If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The Vision pulls you! 

WOW! sooo true!!! we have so many ups and downs in the mission, in life, and all throughout life!! but as we turn to the Lord, and give up our will to Him, we will win, because he will make of us far more than we could ever become ourselves!! I love our Savior Jesus Christ so much, and have come to know Him like never before!! i know this is His work!! And when we fully come to realize that this is the Lord's work, we will not be discouraged when people reject us and say no, when the doors slam in our face, and the appointments fall through...

When Lazarus' sister came and told Jesus that her brother had died, Jesus wept..... i have pondered a lot over this scripture... How the son of God who had all knowledge of the perfect plan of God, who had the power to raise anyone from the dead, and to heal any sickness, cried when he heard his friend had died. 

That story really just shows how much our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ care for us, and how sorry they are when we make mistakes, and choices that take us away from the only path of happiness...

Thanks for your love, support, and emails!! i love you all so much!! 

have a great week!
