I guess I just wanted to put a little note in here about how consuming my new calling seems to be. It is always on my mind...I mean ALWAYS. I think about visiting teaching, activities, meeting the sisters I don't know, why people aren't going to the temple, why they aren't coming to church, how I can help them know and understand the love Christ and Heavenly Father have for them, how I can better show them the love I have for them...and the list goes on and on. I have had way less sleep over the past month because my mind will not shut off. Life is good, but sometimes it is just so busy. I really do love all of it and feel very bless to have the opportunity to serve. I am just trying to find the balance again and make sure things get done.
I watched the training for the RS Presidency last week and loved it and hated it at the same time. I felt loved and supported and thought of and completely overwhelmed. Heavenly Father sure knows how to show us our weaknesses and then He steps in to give us the strength required to do His work. The first lesson I taught for RS I told the sisters that I was well aware of my weaknesses and I didn't need their help in pointing them out. I have to remind myself that we all feel that way and to not judge others and the job they are doing. No one asked for their calling, but they are trying to be obedient and do what is asked of them and just might feel as inadequate as I do. In the training Sister Beck said there is a flood of information out there, yet a drought of the things that will save us. What does being a missionary mean? How do we bring sheep into his fold? What am I doing for others?

It's comforting to think that you really can't fail with the Savior's help. I think you're awesome. And kind. And I love you.

I just love how much you love others and think of their needs. You put up a tough front but we all know how soft you are. You are amazing!
I love you,
