Ultimate Frisbee!


P-day today included ultimate frisbee... a lot of laughter.... and a good start for the week. :)
And guess who is nice and tan for her white little self?? yep! Me!

So these past weeks we have been working with the members a TON and we´re creating some really good relationships.
I´ve decided that when missionaries say that the member don´t give referrals... it´s usually because the missionaries don´t ask. Pre-concepts are a huge thing in the mission... in the world. We´ve made a good to teach every family in the ward and then ask for referrals... and guess what again???  We´re getting them! :D

What is that thing that Christ and the prophets always say???
Oh... when you serve someone you learn to love them. In truth you don´t even have to learn that part... it just comes naturally.. you can´t stop it.   The trick is learning to serve.

I love my companions, every single one of them. 
I love every member that I have had the privilege to work with. (can´t spell anymore) 
I love every single one of the people I have been blessed to teach and know.
I love the missionaries with whom I serve. 
My leaders.
My presidents and my president´s wives. 
The leadership from my home wards. American Fork. San Jose.
My teachers. From the start through high school through the MTC until Spirit today.
I love my friends... a lot. The current ones and the ones from the past.
... I love my family. Oh how I love my family.
And I love the gospel of our savior Jesus Christ.

And when I think of all this love and service that I have seen others do or have done in my life... I am humbled by the fact that it doesn´t even come close that which our Father in Heaven and His Son feel and have done.

I am GRATEFUL for the opportunity I have to serve and learn how to start forgetting myself.
Through everything that I am learning... one of the biggest lessons:
The people who needed the biggest change aren´t always who you think.

Thanks for the love and support from all. :)
