I. Love. Green Hills. I wish I could express that in more than just words!!!! Everyday, I am so grateful to be here.
I don't have a lot of time this week, but here is a quick summary of how I've been feeling. I feel like I have felt this way a lot through life, and it's just been magnified on my mission to help me grow:
I have such strong desires to do everything that is required of me! I want so badly to be perfectly obedient, to contact everyone I see, to be a perfect companion, to be an inspired teacher, be a good missionary, work well with the members, be guided by the spirit, etc. And I fall short so much! I sometimes I am impatient with myself, because I want to be the most perfect tool for Heavenly Father to use. I don't want to be the rusty wrench that isn't an effective instrument, and therefore, goes unused. And that's how I feel! I feel like I'm trying my hardest, but I mess up left and right....I've really been learning that it's all a process and a journey.
I am that dusty, rusty tool in the toolbox that, for some reason, Heavenly Father chose to use in His work, and I'm so honored that He did. I have the desire, but lack the talent, and that has helped me learn to lean on Him. And I have felt Him helping me every step of the way.
This experience has made me so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ. The fact that He sacrificed himself, so that I could come here and make mistakes constantly, so that I can learn and grow, makes me so grateful. I wish I could express my gratitude! As my love for the Savior has increased, my desire to serve Him has increased as well. And my love for others has increased. And that is what it's all about right? Love. His love has been slowly transforming me into something that I could never become on my own.
Sorry for the short email today, here is a brief summary:
Things are going great!
The church is true!
And I love being a missionary!!!!
Have a great week! Love y'all so much!
