| Just starting out last October! |
Not much else to say but things are going great here in the
Temple Square Mission! It has really been heating up here, and it is so busy
with everyone on vacation and out of school!! I’m looking forward to my
birthday next week. This will be the second year in a row to not really
celebrate my birthday since last year I was working as a counselor at EFY! So
it probably won't be too weird, it will just be another busy day.
We are having so much FUN at Welfare Square! We serve there on
Tuesdays and Thursdays all day long. The best part of the day is at the end
when we get to help host. That is when we take around a person who has a bishop’s
order for food and other needs. So we get to push the cart and tell them what
to get! It’s so fun!! Anyways we got to do this a lot this week. Christlike
service in action; it’s so fun!
Oh here's one...I’m already half way
done with my mission? What happened? All I know is that when we are in the service
of our fellow beings we are only in the service of our God. I have loved my
mission. And I will never be the same! But I will ALWAYS be in the middle! (Read
President Uchtdorf's talk from the July Ensign) He says, "with the
proper outlook, considering ourselves as in the middle of things can
help us not only to understand life a little better but also to live it a
little more meaningfully. When I speak
to our young missionaries, I often tell them they are in the middle of their
missions. Whether they just arrived the day before or are to depart for home
the day after, I ask them to think of themselves as always being in the middle...Thinking
of themselves as always being in the middle of their missions will embolden and
energize these faithful representatives of the Lord. As it is with full-time
missionaries, so it is with all of us….Yes, there will be moments of beginnings
and moments of endings throughout our lives, but these are only markers along
the way of the great middle of our eternal lives. Whether we are at the
beginning or the end, whether we are young or old, the Lord can use us for His
purposes if we simply set aside whatever thoughts limit our ability to serve
and allow His will to shape our lives……Being always
in the middle means that the game is never over, hope is never lost, defeat is
never final. For no matter where we are or what our circumstances, an eternity
of beginnings and an eternity of endings stretch out before us….We are always
in the middle.”
Thank
you for all the love and support!
I love you all!
