I am honestly at a loss for what to write today. I could easily just spew out all that happened, but I don't want to do that and you don't want me to do that either.
I guess the only thing that I can really say about this week is that my family is awesome! I look up to my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even those who aren't really my family, but I still see as family.
There is a member here named Chris Schwartz--probably one of the greatest men that I have ever met--and he has taught me so much by his example and his knowledge. I realized that it doesn't matter who you are or what you qualifications are, you can bless the life of someone just by listening to the promptings of the spirit and by acting on them.
I know that Christ is real, and anyone who tells you otherwise clearly hasn't experienced anything too tough for them to handle, because in those tough moments, you can go right to your knees and the power of His Atonement will immediatley begin to act in your life.
I love being a missionary and I absolutely love the relationship that I have gained with my Savior. There is nothing in the world that I would trade for it.
I love you all and hope that I can have an interesting story for the coming week.
