Ok so this week was another interesting one.
Random things for the week!
Had a lot of time to find because we have a bunch of flappers on our hands right now. A lot of the students are going back home so the streets of Glasgow are rather dead. At least in comparison with how it has been. That's ok though. Had some decent weather this week! The sun is up for a grand total of about 5 hours these days and that's if you want to call it up. More like to the side and covered by clouds, but again that's ok.
Went out with the boys a lot this week. We are really always together which is very cool. Super blessed to have all of these awesome examples around me!! We went to a place called Bread Meats Bread this week. Got some poutine if that is what you want to call it. It was so good! Had chips, gravy, cheese curds, bacon, patties, mustard, and grilled onions. Oh man it was powerful. That thing could change the world haha
I stopped a guy named Lee this week. So funny. He is from China. I can't remember how I stopped him but he is my little miracle for the week! He ended up asking if he could come and find more people with me haha. He was so interested in what I had to say and what I was doing that he wanted to do it with me. So we walked around the town and worked together! Really never thought anything like that would happen. My dear friend Lee is now away for a trip to LA and NY but we are staying in contact while he is gone. He came to church with us and loved it and we were able to teach him too which was very nice! He has tons of good questions and wants to know why we do what we do. Very cool opportunity to try and share of the Savior and of His love!
So been thinking a lot this week about where I am at and what I am doing. I was reminded of a quote that I really like, " If you are giving low effort you are most likely not focused on the opportunity but the obligation." I have been trying really hard to focus on the opportunity in all situations. The difference has been amazing!! Don't have life or the things you do just be a check list. Actually live!! Have a purpose with the things you do and give it your all. We are here to learn and to become better people. We are here to have joy. Although life may not always be easy or ideal we can make it whatever we choose!
This is all possible through our Savior Jesus Christ. Remember Him in the things that you do. Remember to give your all to Him and He will do the rest! Trust in Him. Trust in God. Look for the chance to grow and to become who you need to be at all times!!
Love you all and am so thankful for the love and support! Really helps more than you know.
These are the wonderful people I am with most of the time. Very thankful for all of them! SO funny
December is rough because everyone just gives us tons and tons of candy
