:: Listen For The Spirit ~ Be Happy ::

Today is happy. The mission is keeping us all busy. The last week we as a Mission taught just barely over 1300 non-member lessons! The cloudy weather started about three or four days ago so even though I stay happy it gets me more tired. How is everyone? I got to go to another Missionary fireside which was great. It is always so powerful to be able to sing with other Missionaries about Jesus Christ and hear their Testimonies about Jesus Christ. Every time I get home from those firesides I have too much energy and excitement. Today our companionship finished reading the Book of Mormon. It was great to read but its really saddening at the end. How was General Conference for everyone? I loved it! There were a couple of quotes that really touched me. I can't remember the exact wording but one was that God brings us down through trials to bring us higher. The other quote is If sometimes you feel like God is gone from your life remember the teacher is always silent during the test. These are both very powerful quotes/thoughts that we should all remember each day during our lives. They will help us remember that even though we are down and going through rough times in our lives God is with us. He is silent but he is there and we just need to ask for him to come closer, provide his support and provide the comforter to help guide us through these trials. Let me know if you had a favorite speaker from General Conference and why. I thank you all for your support towards me. I hope you can always stay happy and busy because I often times feel most happy when I am busy. Is anyones birthday coming up soon? bye!
