My week was pretty normal aside from my birthday. A family here threw a small party for me which was cool. I made Forros for myself out of leather. Elder Callisaya did the shading, but I did the rest. It is so weird to think I'm 20 now... I can't say I'm a teen anymore, hahaha.
I finished the talks by President Nelson this week and have a new respect for the man. I was thinking a lot this week on how I can be better as I tend to get stuck in a rut if I'm not careful, and I really think the best way to do that is prayer, as that is the direct communication to God we have. He wants us to be good.
I realized how cool it is that I have this opportunity to do this, as we are allowed into strangers' homes to share the message we have. If it were a different message I doubt they'd be so kind, hahaha. That's the Power, that Spirit, that were are given as missionaries, and I'm so grateful for that.
Here's the stanza for January's "Hurrah for Israel!":
"Hurrah for Israel! I am but a man!
If you cut me I'll bleed, but I'll do all I can,
to be the kind of person I know that I can be
Look to Christ in everything and follow His loving lead!"
I've realized how great this time is. I'm devoting ALL my time to my Heavenly Father, and I won't ever have another opportunity like this. THAT'S awesome.
