Hello my beloved family:)

So this week has truly ben a week just full of lots and lots of stuff to do. haha i have never been so spiritually uplifted in my life and at the same time more tired. I can see how the lord truly gives me the strength and the energy that i need to be able complete all of the tasks that there are to do. I have been thinking and i finally understand how dad was as a bishop, how he was working at full speed always and not sleeping very much but he always had the necesarry to complete with everything:) I love to see and now make those connections. I love to work so close to president and see the revelation he is recieving for the mission. i know that the lord is preparing me for something more along the road in life:) 

So you asked me what a typical day is like for me...so first off usually we have to get up about 2 hours earlier than normal to be able to get to the office, or go do exchanges, or go to presidents house for a special assignment, etc. then after those tasks we go to work in our area the rest of the day (so far this week, only 1 day we have had a normal day where we study and work in the sector haha) but always about at 5ish we are in the sector working. But thats something that i am working on changing, because truly we should have more time to be in the area working so our area can be an example to the mission. We are working on that. but then at night we make 3 calls each to missionarys to see their progress and to give them support:) and then plan and plan our meetings and go to bed. Its really really busy all of the time and i just love it:) not gonna lie, its kind of stressfull but its so worth it:) I love it:) 

The people at this moment that we decide to teach are those who accept the invitation to be baptized in a contact, becuase there just isnt much time to "beat around the bush" so we just really focus on those who have truly been prepared and are ready to do these sacred covenants. by doing this, we are seeing so many miracles:)

I Love that Elder Laxton is super excited always! and his desire to work, work, work.

I love that Elder Prens is like me on Love Love Love, and always looking the revelation of god:)

I love you:)
