Hi friends!!
I know its been forever since I've written, sorry bout that. For the past 2 and a half months I've been training a new missionary which is super fun and I've also learned a ton. It's really weird spending my last 3 months in Spain with someone who just got here; makes you think a lot about the last 2 years and all the things you've learned. I've been compiling a pretty big list of this and I'll be sharing some of them in church next Sunday, August 18th at 9:00 A.M!!! The address is 27 Lawton Road, Canton CT.
As my mission comes to a close, I've been thinking a lot about a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson (my senior year english teacher would be so proud Haha):
"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown them."
One of the life changing things that I've learned is to treasure every day as if it is the most important day in a thousand years. Life is to be lived in, not lived through. About 16 months ago, I decided to change my attitude to live in life instead of through it. I have never had a bad day since then. Joy can always be found, even in the hardest of times. I have so many mixed emotions about coming home that I can't even begin to describe them, but one of them is joy. Joy to live life in the way God wants me to. To trust his path and his timing and see miracles in your life is the path to joy.
See you super soon!!!
