The Perfect Day

Manuel and Sandra were baptized!

Hermanas Carter, Guajardo, Greenwood, & Rice

"Happiness Moments"

--We ate waffles with Andrea (she will get baptized this week) this morning and I feel fat and happy;)

--I had interviews with President Parry and I feel so incredibly blessed to have such an amazing mission president. The Lord knows exactly what we need.

--The Hermanas that live next to us locked their keys in their apartment and nobody had an extra. The landlord somehow managed to take out the window of the bathroom (it is a VERY small window) and wiggled his way in to be able to open the door from the inside. Haha it was quite the night.

--We had a ward activity where we cleaned the church. My companion and I scrubbed the baptismal font with Clorox for more than an hour haha. I have never had so much fun cleaning.

--There was a devotional in the Visitors' Center! I love how much music invites the Spirit.

Zone Conference - Hermanas Greenwood & Tukuafu

--Sandra and Manuel got baptized!!! The first appointment that we had with them, Sandra did not show even a spark of interest. But as she began to pray and read the Book of Mormon and come to church, she opened her heart just enough to let the Spirit in. What a miracle it has been to see their progress!!

I think we all dream about what would be our "perfect day." And this past week I finally figured out how we can have the perfect day, every day. It doesn't matter if we are missionaries, a mom, a son, studying, working, we can have a "perfect day" every day. Here is the definition:

Perfect day: Seek after, listen to, and follow the Spirit.

How simple is that?

Hermanas Guajardo  (companion) & Greenwood

3 Nephi 19: 9 - And they did pray for that which they most desired; and they desired that the Holy Ghost should be given unto them.

What is what we most desire?

Alma 58: 10 - Therefore we did pour out our souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, yea, and also give us strength that we might retain our cities, and our lands, and our possessions, for the support of our people.

11 Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him.

12 And we did take courage with our small force which we had received, and were fixed with a determination to conquer our enemies, and to maintain our lands, and our possessions, and our wives, and our children, and the cause of our liberty.

I know that as we seek after (or pour our souls in prayer to God), listen to (the assurances and peaceful feelings), and follow the guidance of the Spirit (or take courage), every single day, we will have a perfect day.

I love the Lord with all my heart.

I know that we are never alone.

Have a perfect day!!!

Love, Hermana Greenwood:)
