Subject: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
WOW the time is way toooooo fast! I had a dream last night that all of a sudden, I finished my mission, and I woke up crying... haha but let's not dwell on that... haha Anyways, HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK!
If I could sum up all of my blessings in one phrase it would be the following: I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE GOSPEL!!!!
If I could sum up all of my blessings in a second phrase, it would be the following: I AM GRATEFUL TO BE A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!
Haha but that's not a surprise to you is it? Haha
Why don't you show the Lord you are grateful for serving someone in need, or by inviting someone new to your Christmas dinner, or by (drum role please) inviting a friend to listen to themissionaries!!! eh eh?
This week has been a great week! A hard week, full of rejection, but you know what? It was still a great week! It amazes me how we can find so much joy even when things don´t go as they should, or as you would like them too! But my testimony about this just gets stronger and stronger each day. And even though it was a rough week, we were able to talk to more 100 people in the street and give them a chance to know that God loves them and wants to bless them even more! Sometimes, or actually all the time, I feel like I have the best job in the whole world! I feel like I walk around all day with a bag of 100 dollar bills, And I just get to give them away to everyone who wants it! And if they don't want it, well i know there is someone else who would LOVE a 100 dollar bill. But the gospel is SO much better than even a million dollars! The gospel has the ability to make us happier than we could ever imagine! The gospel seals us together with our families FOREVER even after death. The gospel lets us reach our full potential and fills our lives with daily tender mercies from a loving, perfect Heavenly father. I just love being a missionary, and I wish I was eloquent enough to express the gospel in a 2 minute contact... haha
This week Hermana Hart and I walked in the street naming all of the things we are grateful for. I just love Chile! I am grateful for the cool breezes on a HOT afternoon.
I am grateful for the best family ever that writes me EVERY WEEK! (and for a sister Amy who writes me a little less than that... haha jk Love ya sis.)
I am grateful that my shoes have a little bit more to give, even though they are about to rest in peace, or pieces.
I am grateful for Nispero, a Chilean fruit that we just discovered... its amazing
I am grateful for the Oven they just put into our pension so that Hermana Hart and I can make thanksgiving breakfast/dinner this week!
I am grateful for my body that wakes me up at exactly 6:59 every morning and helps me to be obedient.
I am grateful for my heavenly father than he knows me better than I know myself and that he gives me every little thing that I need!
I am grateful for Jesus Christ, who was born in a manger, a humble birth for the King of Kings, who would later give all to us.
I am grateful that Hermana Hart are starting our Christmas preparations and that we are going to give our ward the BEST dosage of christmas spirit that they have ever had!
I AM GRATEFUL FOR EACH OF YOU ( and a million other things)! What are you grateful for?
Oh by the way, today we found out our changes! Hermana Hart and I stay together here in Limache, but with a twist! they took our the other hermanas in our ward and basically doubled our limits, so we have a whole lot more to do and a whole lot more stewardship... Pray extra hard for us! Hermana Hart and I will also be living alone in our big amazing apartment. Its definitely the best in the mission! Wahoo!! We will have LOTS of walking and biking this change in the HOT HOT SUMMER HEAT! If I don't loose a ton of weight, I must be a lost cause... haha jk
I love you all!
Hermana Royal
