Wow this week has been great fun :) We got Transfer Text and Elder Bishop is leaving.... :( sad day he is a great guy and I loved serving with him for a Transfer. Sometimes we just need to have some one to relate too and do things with that improves the happiness of life :). He is going to be serving in the English Program which he was a little disappointed about but he'll do good. I also got called to train again. Super excited but nervous as well. This area doesn't have to much going on.. it's getting better but nervous to work a greeny too hard.. but it'll be good. I will serve with him for at least 2 transfers to go through all of the training. So i'll be in this area until Jan 26th at least. I'm so grateful to be here serving!!
So this week with the Storm we had to stay inside because it started snowing?? Haha felt like I was in Utah again almost except this snow was super super wet! It sucked... so church gets canceled on Saturday Night then on Sunday the weather is perfect!!! Its hard because Jonathan and Jennifer said they would be going this week and we had to tell them that it was canceled.:( Missing church is super hard for me.... The Sacrament so important that when I miss it one week I feel a difference.. I love the Sacrament prayer where if we take the Sacrament each week we are promised to have the spirit with us.... The Spirit is what makes life easier.. less stressful..happy.. you name is they are all gifts from the spirit! Having the spirit with us should not only be our greatest desire but our greatest need.. Once we realize that having the spirit is what makes us Happy :) that is when we realize the importance of church. I love going and sitting in on Gospel Essentials class and learning the "basics" each week. In sports the teams that do the best are those who practice fundamentals! The same things apply in our lives... Now the question to each of us is are we practicing the Fundamentals of the gospel?? And how much effort is being applied? I KNOW that the fundamentals of the Gospel like... Full Church attendance, Full scripture study, and Full prayer are what helps us become who we want to become. :)
We are driving up today for transfer meeting tomorrow because I have to be to the Trainer meeting at 9 and it takes like 3 1-2 hours to get there from here so I don't want to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow to get there on time. We will be staying in Framingham and I will get to see the Austins again :) super excited about that! But I love you all so much and here is clip I shared with dad awhile ago that I just love and helps me when I get stressed out with the things of the world :)
