 Song of the week - Good old days by Macklemore, Kesha 

Literally heard this song on the street and stopped in my tracks and literally started crying.  Took me back, my friend made a super cool video in high school to this song, and just all the memories came back from high school, then leading into my collage days. Insane how fast life really goes. So crazy for me to think about how like in the moment your so excited and ready for the next big thing and then you realize later how badly you wish you were back living those moments..... just food for thought. Live every moment like it is your last and truly live in the moment. Super cringe and stupid and basic I know but genuinely. Stop stressing about the future, stop stressing about what people think, stop stressing about the how, and just go LIVE and enjoy it, enjoy where you are at in life !! Everyday is a new opportunity to do something new and different, and to better ourselves.  

So yeah that was the revelation I received lol  from a song. Music is powerful  nothing newly profound or huge but it smack me in the face. Finally sunk in. And I think I needed to hear it because now im like determined to stop worrying about how much time I have left on the mission and what Im gonna do afterwards and now my focus is more worried about what Im I gonna do with the time that I have left on the mission!

Some Spiritual love  

I feel like I already gave some Spiritual insights from my music rant above *^^^^ but just really quick ive been studying Alma and im just blown away at what I've been reading so far. Especially chapters 14- 26. Wont go into full details ill just challenge you guys to study it on your own. But while you are reading ponder the questions 

1. what did they do to have/get the kind of faith and testimony they had??  

2. How do I get that kind of faith in my own life ?? 

3. What can I learn from them?? 

 Truly such Amazing examples of true disciples of Christ and how to be strong missionaries and members of the church.  

The book of Mormon is for OUR day. And when we read it like that. It changes everything. 

Weekly!! 

This has been the most nonchalant week of my mission yet. Lol so sorry guys no huge news, nothing super exciting or crazy. Just very very MID. honestly though I'm super thankful because the past few weeks have been very stressful and crazy. So I'm counting my blessings this week  

But as normal please pray for the people of Lavras, very very slow here work wise  

I just wanna shake people sometimes and have a really stern talk with them. ( if i knew how to have a stern talk.... once I'm fluent ) Lol like I don't understand how they don't understand what we are actually giving them.... UGH i always walk away very sad and quite literally annoyed, but then shake it off and look to my comp and say we did everything we can ultimately they have there own agency and they chose to not have salvation  then say some other stupid comment that follows to lighten the mood, and we feel better and the keep on working. Something I've notice is for every 15 people that say no to us, there is always the one that say yes. So me and my comp make a goal to try and get at least 30-50 contacts in a day. And that seems to help! Plus you get to meet way more people that are super cool and learn about there lives! I love it.
