HOLA A TODOS

Okay wow lots happened this week :)) 

we went bowling last pdayyyy it was so much fun!! love my district!!

we had service at the food bank !! So much fun! Then we had a sad moment so we went and got ice cream and had English class which is popping off for us lately!! 

weekly planning was way short because half our people dropped us ahhh we good tho. Then we had an extra English class with our friends friends taught them the restoration!

Friday we had district council and we made our district peach cobbler and peanut butter oat balls sooo good ahhh. Talked about a lot of things we are going to be doing as a district to strengthen our ward and each other which was a blessing. Saw a cutie dog that reminded me of my pups and another pups ill attach the photo. Ahhh love dogs so much.

Saturday we did service at the mobat!! Sooo awesome. It was a service for the people who served in the Korean War and it was so cool! A girl was 102 and she looked like 63 no joke that lady is gonna live forever. Our elders dressed up like the olden days hahah it was funny. Then we went to chickfila which we weren't planning on going to in the first place but we ended up at chickfila and then bam my neighbors walk up to me while we arw there and it's literally what I needed. Saturday was a rough day idek why but idk a piece of home was very much needed low key almost broke down in tears haha. Then we had lessons and we went to the temple that night and it was much needed which came along with me getting a blessing. And lemme tell you once again GOD IS GOOD. It's not easy being here with so many things going on but it's okay cause God is good. 

Sunday we got to see my mission president and his wife and all my mission friends!! We had lunch with our ward mission leader and his wife which was soooo yummy love them! Then we did a gratitude chain at balboaaaa which was so fun!!! 

Monday we did lots of lessons which was chaotic but we did it and then I took a little nap hahaha!! We had dinner with Sister galvassss love her so much!! Then we got to help our friend prepare for her bautismo this weekend ahhh!! And it rained again wow I love it. Also it's been oddly hot during the day but cold at night ugh I need my sweaters lolol 

You guys!! Literally no matter how hard life gets you are never alone. My friend sent me a quote imma attach because WOW. Okay :)) 

“The things you will deal with will seem so important to you. Your everyday problems will seem incredibly large- your work and your school, your family and friends, what to wear, how you look. Are you fat? Are you strong? Are you pretty? Are you smart? Do you make enough money? Do other people like you? Why weren’t you chosen for a game or group activity? Why isn’t life always fair? Worries such as these may consume you and take all your time. You may obsess with disappointments; you may put all your focus on the pain. It will be easy to forget that life is always good- that whether you are here or on earth, you are meant to find joy. So on quiet nights in the summer, when you are still and peaceful, I want you to look up at the heavens, the moon and the stars, so your spirit can remember.. And if you do, you will remember. Somewhere deep in you soul. That you are a part of a heavenly family, and heavenly plan, something eternal and wonderful and incredibly large. You will remember that your family is up here cheering for you. That family is the only thing that matters, the only thing of any significance. And though your human language may not have words for the feelings I will place in your hearts, your spirit will remember and you will long to be with me again.. If you listen, I will tell you. If you listen closely, you will know. I will whisper to you through fathers blessings and a mothers sweet song. I will talk to you through my prophets and the words they write down. I will give a special blessing to you through a chosen patriarch. And there are other gifts I will send you: Bishops, teachers, family member, and friends. I will send my spirit to guide you. I will not leave you alone and remember. My children, It doesnt matter so much what you know, but it very much matters who you are!” 

It's so powerful and amazing and what I needed. And something I've learned lately is we cannot screw up the work. Like God is not gonna let that happen. No matter how much we sin or mess up, God is always going to help us. Always. Like our friends salvation is not going to be lost because of us. Because he loves us and cares for us. Really cool. 

Anyway I'm so scatter brained but I love you all so much. Praying for each and every one of you :))
