18 months!

Hello everyone!! 

I hope y'all have had a wonderful week!! This week I hit my 18 month mark of being of a missionary! Wowzers!! The last 18 months have been amazing! I've learned so many amazing lessons and met the most incredible people! I'm excited to see what miracles are in store for the next couple weeks! Here are 18 things I've learned in the last 18 months:

1) Do your BEST, let God do the rest! I've seen the Lord multiply our efforts so much!! 

2) The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real and it works!! 

3) Heavenly Father knows us and loves us PERFECTLY! 

4) Prayer is so powerful!

5) Companions become your BEST FRIENDS! 

6) Smile and be kind! We can choose to be happy no matter what our circumstances are! 

7) People change for the better!! 

8) Through the enabling power of the Atonement our weaknesses can become strengths!

9) It's okay not to be okay.

10) Miracles are wrought by FAITH! 

11) Life is Beautiful! :) 

12) Always trust in the Lords timing! He knows what's best. 

13) The power of the Priesthood is real!! 

14) Lasting joy comes from Daily repentance!

15) The Book of Mormon changes lives! 

16) Charity and LOVE solve all problems!! 

17) The tender mercies of the Lord are everywhere- He is so aware of us!! 

18) People are placed in our lives for a reason! 

THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!

I love Virginia! I love my mission!! I love this Gospel and I love my Savior!!
