Sorry I haven't written an email in like a month! I was kinda going through it haha but it's all good now. Something that I love so much is how much hope and perspective the gospel gives us through our challenges. It really has helped me to know that the Savior knows and loves me perfectly, and that trials don't last forever. We are made to have joy in this life, and while the ups and downs are necessary, we aren't meant to stay down. There is so much more good that life has to offer us!
I think sometimes we can spend so long feeling stuck, or not knowing what direction to take, or just trying to figure out the problem and identify a solution. I know I've felt that recently. I came across a quote from Elder Holland that was intended to be about serving others, but the principle applies here too.
He said something to the effect of: "don't be immobilized wondering whether you should do the backstroke or the dog paddle. Just jump in and swim!"
We really don't need to spend so much time worrying about what to do and how. We know the next step, and that's enough for the Savior to pull us out of that rut and put the path in front of us AS WE GO. We have to be in motion in order to be led. So, that's something that I've learned that has helped me recently, and I hope it will help someone else too
Other than that, missionary life is awesome, as always. We have a super big, super fun zone, and a great area with amazing members. Whitewashing was slow at first, but it is starting to pick up and it's been really fun. Lots of miracles!
I'm out of time as always, but I hope you all have a fantastic week!!
