Favorite p-day outfit on a cold day

ONLY FIVE DAYS UNTIL I AM IN THE FIELD. I am so excited to get out there and meet and love and teach people! I am so blessed to have met an Hermana that works in my mission offices! She sat in my District Meeting with me this past Sunday and we chatted about my mission. She even showed me a picture of my trainer! She looks super nice, speaks fluent English and Spanish, and I am so excited to meet her! 

Hurray for packages! Someone knows Kim loves apple juice and popcorn!

I am also a little sad to leave the CCM though; my district and current companion are wonderful people and we have so many opportunities to be very spiritually fed.

My thoughts are a little scattered but here are some cool things I wrote down/ random thoughts from this past week. In zone meeting we were talking about Alma 49 and how Moroni helped his people to be prepared and made weak cities strong. I was thinking about how it doesn't matter how weak you feel you are, you can always put on the Armor of God and with His help be more prepared.

Something I had never thought of before is that when you are in a dark room and it is light outside and you open the door, light comes in. BUT when you are in a light room and it is dark outside and you open the door, darkness doesn't come in. Light always triumphs! I love this gospel with all of my heart and soul. While I am so nervous to enter the field with the little Spanish that I possess, I know that the Lord is by my side.

Sisters Greenwood & Weston (met at the airport - so sweet!)

I challenge you all to read Alma 49 this week and try to put yourself in the story, try to see how God is there for you and about how you can better prepare yourself for whatever comes your way. "The Lord takes raw materials and shapes them and refines them." Sometimes the 'refiner's fire' can be intimidating, but you are never alone, and imagine what you will be on the other side of it. :)

Have a wonderful week everybody!

Love, Hermana Greenwood :)
