Missionary life!

Hi Everyone! 

This week has been great! I definitely am getting more into the missionary life routine. Sister Snowder and I always have a blast together! Missionary life is awesome, I love it! This week I did some service, taught some lessons, gave away my first Book of Mormon, and met some awesome people! It's crazy the amount of joy you can feel when serving and helping others!

Something I learned this week is the eternal potential that each of us have. We at times may feel inadequate or like we want to give up, but no matter how we may be feeling we can always get through it with the help of our Savior Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father knows what we can become and He believes in us so much! He has placed us where we are at this moment and He knows that we can accomplish all that we have in front of us. We are children of God with an eternal potential and with His help and when we turn to Him and His son, Jesus Christ we can accomplish all things! He loves us each so much and believes that we can accomplish whatever is in front of us. He believes in you! 

Something else awesome I was actually able to do today is I got to go to the Seattle Temple! Something that was shared with me this week was the thought, "go to the temple as often as is inconvenient." The temple is such a blessing & the peace that is felt inside. A general authority, I'm not sure who, once shared that when you leave the temple you leave surrounded with spiritual power and protection. What a promise! I encourage each of you to find a time to go to the temple sometime soon & to go regularly if possible! When we prioritize the temple we are definitely blessed for doing so! 

Love you all!
