Seriously though, attitude plays a huge role ESPECIALLY on a mission. and my mission has been FLIPPIN FABULOUS! No matter the weather, no matter how bad stinky tofu smells, and no matter how many times our investigators stand us up, everyday always seems to be happier than the next.

One of those happy things was last p-day. WE WENT TO THE BEACH! You can imagine how STOKED I was to be at the beach again. Granted, I couldn't swim but it was still so great!

Another happy thing was that on Tuesday night, while doing our Daily Planning Session, we realized that our entire day Wednesday was booked full of lessons (ALWAYS a good thing for a missionary).  However, in the short time span of about 12 hours, from the time we went to bed at 10:30pm to the end of studies the following morning (about 11:00am) ALL of our planned lessons managed to magically get cancelled.  From lessons alllll day, to finding allllll day...it was a HUGE blessing! We found two new SOLID investigators, were able to have lunch and dinner with former investigators (who, from out of the blue, just so happened to call us that day) AND we found a FAMILY!! A family to teach is like gold in the field. Families are so precious. 

We had temple tours and exchanges this past week. I was once again companions with Sister Westover. During our exchange we decided to try some creative finding. Her favorite way to find is to go ice cream finding. I don't know why it doesn't work very well with other foods but whenever we go ice cream finding we always find a new investigator.

Missions are incredible.

"Certainly one of our God-given privileges is the right to choose what our attitude will be in any given set of circumstances. We can let the events that surround us determine our actions-or we can personally take charge and rule our lives, using as guidelines the principles of pure religion. Pure religion is learning the gospel of Jesus Christ and then putting it into action. Nothing will ever be of real benefit to us until it is incorporated into our own lives."

--Marvin J. Ashton, "Pure Religion", Ensign, Nov. 1982,
