little better this week :)

"So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Living the Abundant Life"
"You know that God is your Father. He loves you. He wants you to be happy. Put your trust in Him (see 2 Nephi 4:34; 28:31). Maintain your focus on His holy temple. Be worthy to receive your endowment and sealing ordinances. Remain faithful to those covenants, and return frequently to the temple. Remember, your loftiest goal is to gain the greatest of all the blessings of God, that of eternal life (see D&C 14:7). Temple ordinances are essential for that blessing (see D&C 131:1–3)."

Your comp sounds pretty immature, keep chin up, how much longer till transfers? Where you with other elders for zone meetings? What kind of things do you do and learn as a zone?  We will pray for Yasmin :)  sounds like you are very busy and work going well..

I'm sure miracles will continue to happen when you put it all on the table!!!  Glad elder Allred is around, heaven sent! Where is he from? How long out? Do you get to go to elders?
