Well...
This is New Year #2 that I'll be sleeping through. haha.. But that's
okay. Sleep is more and more important than ever. Can you believe that
I've made it a whole year without sleeping in once?! haha!!! That's
amazing!!!
So it was amazing to be able to talk to everyone on Christmas. Y'all
sound so happy, and it was a major boost to me to be able to hear
everyone again.
This week has been unique though. Christmas Eve and Christmas just broke
up the flow of missionary work, and I think that after new year's,
things will start getting back to normal with everything. People have
finally made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and now they can
relax and get back to their normal lives. Which makes missionary work
easier, because you can kinda judge when you can find people at home and
stuff.
This week, because of the craziness of it all, we spent a lot of time
visiting less actives, who, if it weren't for their health, would be at
Church every week. Those people are so strong despite every reason they
have not to be. So they're pretty motivational. I learn a lot from those
people. They make me more grateful for my life, because it gets me out
of the trap of thinking that I've got it rough. I really dont.
The Arkansas weather is being typical though. One day it's below
freezing, the next it room temp outside. So weird... I've never been
around such an indecisive climate before. This is the weirded December
I've ever experienced weather wise.
So... As for new years resolutions... I've never been a fan... But if
y'all are, here's an idea... Think of something you can do every day to
show Christlike love to someone around you, whether you know them or
not. When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are truly in
the service of your God. I love the scriptures...
Hopefully this next week will be full of interesting stories, I can tell
you... But this week, not so much. We just ate... a lot... Definitely
more meals than is good for me... haha...
So... Keep it real. Even though Christmas is over, dont forget the
Savior, and do everything you can to draw near to Him, because that's
really the only way you can be happy... Who knew... haha... I've found
the secret to happiness.
Love you... And remember... The Church is True.
