Week 81!

"the greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that outlasts it."

- william james

we had so many amazing things that happened this last week & a half but i just want to share one little miracle!

we were a little behind schedule on monday & i was getting stressed & tired:,) but we had to run to walmart to grab a couple things to last us the rest of the week. it was like 8:15 at night at the super sketchy walmart so i wanted to hurry out of there BUT we were in the bagel isle & these 2 random girls came up to us & asked if they could pray with us! they were just students who attend a church in town & try to disciple people every time they go out! they asked us a bunch of questions & we had the coolest conversation & then one of them said the SWEETEST prayer!

this is a small thing but it was exactly what i needed! those girls taught me a few lessons:

- prayer is powerful!

- you can have a spiritual experience anywhere!

- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY i want to be a lifelong missionary & disciple!

my full time mission has come to a close but that does not mean i want to stop sharing the JOY & LIGHT the gospel brings into my life!

"Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction; but behold, he has brought them into his everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation; and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love; yea, and we have been instruments in his hands of doing this great and marvelous work... Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

alma 26:15-16

this might be the shortest email ive written... i wish i had more to say but i genuinely dont have the words:,)

just know that the mission is a blessing! the gospel is a blessing! & my savior is a blessing! i am so grateful that i get to testify of him for the rest of my life & beyond!
