Burden free life

I read a talk this week called The Challenging and Testifying Missionary, great talk. It really made me realize that I need to really let go of my fear. This message is so important and I need to help people recognize that. I also need to worry less about how I teach a lesson and focus on just inviting the spirit, because in the end it is the Spirit who is the true teacher. 

I have thought a lot about trials and the lessons you learn from them. Like I said in the letter last week, this is a time for us to learn and grow. And something I have learned to do on my mission is when I get frustrated and things just really are not working out, I just stop and  say "what am I supposed to be learning right now" and as I ponder that, I receive personal revelation on what I am supposed to learn, and what I need to do to apply that lesson to my life and how I do my work. And once you recognize what you need to learn, it never feels like a burden, its an exciting opportunity to grow even more and become closer to our Heavenly Father. Its a really great way to achieve a burden free life. Don't think of trials as burdens, think of them as opportunities!! 

I love to hear everything that is going on at home, it makes me happy when people reference my letters so that I know people are actually reading them haha I love you all, I will try my best to answer everyones emails but I do promise I read every single one!! I am happy to be serving here, I know this is where I need to be and that I am growing from the experiences I am having.

Proselyting in the rain for three days straight!!!
