Strange Exchange... Light Year is here!


Hey Y'all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! So crazy to think that its already 2018! Ill be completely honest when I say that I never thought that this year was going to come haha but sure enough here it is and it came faster than I thought it ever would! I look back at this past year and a lot of it is just a big blur but its been one of the best years of my life. 2017 will be the only year that I will ever be able to spend all my time in full consecration to the Lord, and what an experience it was! I'm grateful for all the people I was able to meet this past year and all the growth and memories I made. That being said I look forward to 2018 and all that it has in store for me. Hard to believe that by the end of this year I will be home with all you goobers again.. Don't be too excited ;) haha It'll be here before we know it!

Well now that that's out of the way... This past week was a crazy one haha. We had a good time though! Due to the holidays we weren't able to get much done but we tried our best to see some people! We had an exchange with the Phillippi Elders this past week and ended up getting to stuck down there for the weekend which caused us to miss church haha so looks like I'm going less active on my mission. It was a fun weekend though a lot of weird crap happened that we never expected but we were able to have a good time playing card games and having snow ball fights and watching church films.. sounds like a blast huh? haha while we were down there though, we did get to go see some mummies that have been there since 1985 that came from an insane asylum which was pretty cool! Ill be sure to send some pics :) I never realized how much history is in WV!

I want to invite you all to take the time this week to set some goals for the year 2018. I know we try to do this every year and they end up getting left in the wind by about March but I want to invite you all to look at ways that you can improve your self and who you are as a follower of Jesus Christ. President Lindhardt has invited us all to study the Doctrine of Perfection lately and its something that has helped me look at my mission/ life a little differently. Its super easy for us to focus on the things we suck and and always try to be perfect at EVERYTHING. But instead of trying to be like Christ in everything right away, instead focus on things that you can be perfect at a step at a time. The scriptures heed us to take things line upon line, and precept by precept, here a little there a little. When we apply this to our goal setting we are able to change everyday and perfect our selves a little bit at a time. Remember that we will never be 100% perfect in this life. But as we strive to be our best self and do our best to change everyday to be like Christ. He will take care of the rest! So set some goals this year that will help you become more like Jesus Christ!! I love you all and hope you have a great weeek!!!! :)
