Week 21: I am Changing Colors





 
Hey everyone!

Summer is officially setting in here and I am developing some serious missionary tanlines. Watch, ring, skirt, walking shoes....you name it. I'm definitely a different color now--haha. I can't wait for the end of summer to see the difference. Spending all day out and about will have a big impact-haha. It is hot, and it's not even December yet, and I never thought I'd say something like that. December and scorching heat don't go together in my mind. 

My companion also graciously reminded me that today I hit my 5 month mark.I don't know where the time has gone. It's a little crazy. I feel like I just left. 

We have had a busy week. We had our interviews with President Harris, which were great. I am incredibly grateful for amazing leaders. I couldn't ask for better. Always the guidance and advice that I need to hear. 

My thought for the week:

We have the opportunity to work with a lot of people. Lots of people are trying to change their lives and they struggle. People overcoming addictions--like smoking, drinking, drugs. It's sometimes a painful process, (though beautiful and so worth it).  It is so easy to feel like a lost cause. So easy to feel like there is no use in trying, no hope, that we aren't going to accomplish anything. But when we lose sight of the truth, when we forget who we really are, what we can really do, God never forgets. ¨God never loses sight of our eternal potential, even when we do.¨ How incredible it is that we have someone who loves us perfectly in every moment and always knows our potential and is willing and able to guide us, show us the way. We only need to look to him. I know without a shadow of a doubt that we have never lived a moment of our lives unloved. I know that we all have a divine potential, an eternal potential. 

¨Many of you are endlessly compassionate and patient with the weaknesses of others. Please remember also to be compassionate and patient with yourself.¨-Pres. Uchtdorf

Change is possible, this I know. 

Love you all, have a great week!!

Con amor,
