Hey everyone!
HAPPY 2016! I
hope that all you guys have a super sick year and that you will all stick to
any goals that you set.
So this week
was good. Nothing totally new here in the office. We're finishing up our report
for the month of December and that's really, really, big and scary but
hey - I got this!

| I love the temple |
We did get to
go to the temple this week! My compañeros convert got her endownments so we got
go for that. That was SUPER sick. I love the temple. I would seriously
spend all day there if I could. It's just great. :)
Hey, I heard
Two Steps Behind by Def Lepard this week. I totally forgot about and missed
that song so that was a little tender mercy haha. It was in a little chinese
restauraunt and I moved right under the speaker because it was playing kinda
soft. But yeah :)
I uploaded
some pictures from some of the office staff. The darkest one (with his eyes
closed) is my companion from Arizona - Elder Larsen. He's super chill and we
really get along together.

I started
reading a talk that is super duper good about bearing burdens and trials - and
why we have them. It's called "But for a Small Moment" by Neal A. Maxwell. I invite you
all to read it. It really opened my eyes a lot and made me really thankful for
the trials I've had in my life. They prove that God loves us. Read it and found
why :)
I just want
you guys all to know how much I seriously love my mission. Don't get me wrong, some days
it's super tough. And it almost seems like there's more of those days than the good days. BUT, the
good days ALWAYS make the bad ones worth it. I really love the
people here and I'm making friendships that I hope will last a long time. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. And through it, I know without a doubt that, we can really, truly be
happy. I know that we have a Father in Heaven who loves and knows us perfectly.
He isn't some abstract and far-away being. He is personal, perfect, loving
and involved and is always aware of our needs. I know that Christ loves us
perfectly too. He is the Savior of the world, and it's His message that I carry
with me. I love Him with everything I have.
Love you guys
all a ton! Have a sweet week and be good!
Pura vida
