Measure Success Properly

Kim: "I found a GORGEOUS flower that's as big as my face!"

American food to celebrate the 4th of July

"Happiness Moments":

-HAPPY (late) FOURTH OF JULY. A cute couple from the mission made us hamburgers and chocolate cake to celebrate. :)

-Going to an appointment at the hospital for Hna. Vieira (everything is fine, don't be alarmed) and having to wait for HOURS hahaha -- good thing we always have good reading material. ;)

Looks sooooooo good!

-Before we were working in two wards, and with the new changes, we are officially only in the ward Oceanía! Although it was hard to say goodbye to some amazing members and people we were teaching, we are excited to focus on one ward:)

Wonderful Member Family

We should stop measuring success how the world does, and start measuring success how the Lord does.

"When we have done our very best, we will still experience disappointments but we will not be disappointed in ourselves. We can feel certain that the Lord is pleased when we feel the Spirit working through us. Peace, joy, and hope are available to those who measure success properly."

Mosiah 4:27 - And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.

President Uchtdorf has said, "There is more to life than increasing its speed."

The only thing that we have to worry about is rejoicing about Christ.

Score one for Hermana Greenwood!

2 Nephi 25:26 - And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.

I asked one of the recent converts (Sergio) to write his testimony in my notebook, and something that he wrote at the end really touched my heart, and I feel that it goes very well with measuring success properly. He said, "I am not perfect, but I am improving."

Happy 4th of July!

As my mom always reminds me, God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but He does expect us to try perfectly. Peace, hope, and joy are available to all of us every day as we live worthy to walk with the Spirit.

Have a wonderful week!!
