This was a crazy week with lots of travel.
Transfers were this week and so we went to Honolulu a few times just due to the
random stuff that happened. I was in a trio for a couple days as we waited for
one of the missionaries to fly in. It was such a different feeling. It was like
mobbing the door with missionaries. lol It was also good to know you had one
extra person that might know the answer to a question if you didn't know it.
haha
Our new pad we just moved into is so
fun! We (The Family) has 3 dogs. 2 are pit bulls and they are so nice. It's so
fun to play with them and they love Mondays because they get lots of attention
haha. The Family also has a couple kids and they are adorable!!! It's like
having little brothers and they also love Mondays too haha. It's a great
time!
A good Friend sent me this quote by
President Uchtdorf, "God will take you as you are at this very moment and
begin to work with you. All you need is a willing heart, a desire to believe,
and trust in the Lord" Our Heavenly Father knows us and loves us, he commends
and corrects us. Are we humble enough to take that correction and change? This quote
stood out to me as something we need to do every day. Give ourselves to God. No
matter how wicked or righteous we are, no matter how obedient or disobedient we
are, or even how far gone we feel.... He WILL take us as we are. It might be
the hardest step you have ever taken to do it, but it will be the most fulfilling,
rewarding, and joyful step too. Let us break the bands which Satan has us held
down with and take that step and keep taking the next step for the rest of our
lives. Christ's crucifixion is real and the Atonement was done so he will be
able to work with us."... Willing heart, desire to believe, and trust in
the Lord" That's what he asks and he will change and transform our lives
forever. Nothing is to bad or low to be corrected. The healing and enabling power
of the Atonement is greater than sin. Use it.
Have a wonderful week, smile
and be happy, what a joy it is to be blessed like we are in our lives!!
