"Happiness Moments"

--I got a new companion!!! Hna. Guajardo is from Ciudad Juarez and I already love her with all my heart!!

--A member took us out for breakfast and we ate crepas and cinnamon rolls and atole!!

--I am officially mexican!! My stomach has been bothering me and my zone leader finally convinced me to go to the doctor.... lol turns out I have gastrites and worms....





Meds



--When I told an investigator that I had worms and gastrites, she almost forced medicine down my throat, and when she turned around I poured it back into the bottle without her noticing and the other investigator (her son) and my companion and I could not stop laughing. Haha we are such children, I love it.



Today I just quickly wanted to share a poem that a family in my home ward shared with me a couple of months ago for my birthday. (Shoutout to the Clegg family!)

Zone Conference

It is a poem by Mother Teresa:

“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

Training at Zone Conference


We all have the light of Christ within us to help us know right from wrong. As we are confirmed members of Christ's church, we are given one of the greatest gifts, the Holy Ghost, to help us to do everything the way the Lord has asked.

As we live in the world, but not of it, even as people don't accept us, we can do it anyway, and we will enjoy the blessings promised in this scripture:


President & Sister Parry with hermanas

D&C 89:18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;

19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;

20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.

21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

I love the Lord, and I love His work!
I hope you all have the best week!!!

Hermana Greenwood:)
