Hey I hope everyone has had a fabulous week!! I hope you all had the chance to pick a Christlike Attribute and work on it! I chose Charity and I have been loving it! Charity is truly the pure love of Christ and it really requires Patience! Sometimes it is hard to love complete strangers especially when they are not so nice to you BUT I am getting there and I am able to see where they are coming from and I can feel God's love for them and I LOVE that feeling!!! I feel whole!! 

There is this path that goes behind my apartment. A Lot of people walk down this path! It is pretty and it is along side a river. I enjoy walking don it but I walk down it to get to my apartment! Haha we have to climb a slight hill to get there! I am all about short cuts! It makes me feel like I am hiking too which is great!

 As we were walking home one day I said to Sister Roberts, "It amazes me how many people walk on this path that takes them no where!" Haha and because we are missionaries we immediately applied that to life and the gospel right?  

A lot of people are taking this path that leads them to no where simply because they don't know where to go. They don't know what God wants of them or what there purpose is. Just like in Alma 18 Ammon is teaching King Lamoni and in verse 15 he says "What desirest thou of me?" This is where the missionaries come in! (That's me) We help people get on a path that is leading somewhere and help them to understand what our purpose is here on this earth! We also help them to develop a realationship with God so that they will be able to see what they personally need to do because we all are unique and have different gifts and talents that God uses differently! 

Some people may walk on this path because it is easy...BORING!! When things are easy we get bored and get into trouble right? I have learned that God does not like easy because we do not grow from easy!!! We need trials and tribulation so that we can become strong and prepare for what is to come next! So... pray for trials!!! Haha no i am jsut kidding they will come without you praying for them. Because this is life and that is what happens! (: If you do feel strong and like life is to easy feel free to pray for trials...then buckle up and get a prayer pillow so your knees don't get worn out!! 

Others may take this path simpy because it is the path they have always taken. Haha it reminds me of one of my favorite movies "Everything you want" And Cal is playing a video game and Quin come in and it like "Hey why don't you get a new game?" And Cal freezes and drops the controller and says, "They make new game?" Haha so great! As we live our lives we need to be an example and show people that there are other paths to take and that we will personally show them and help them along the way!! 

There may be other reasons but no matter what the reason is there is this amazing thing called the Atonement that will help us transition to this new path that may be scary or intimidating! The atonement helps us to change and gives us the strength that we need to change and we should be accessing the atonement each and everyday! 

On another note... I HIT MY ONE MONTH MARK!! Crazy right? Time is flying by!! I am beginning to understand God's time! People have told me that my mission is going to fly by! Some days I am like Yeah right! Haha but others day I am like HOLY I HAVE BEEN GONE FOR A MONTH!! Haha It is interesting!! Here is a good description, days seem like weeks and weeks seem like days! I never knew you could get so much done in one day! It is fantastic! I also counted up how many times I pray in a day and the minimum is 15 times a day! Haha crazy right?? I love it though! Heavenly Fathers knows everything about me! I love it because when I am constantly asking Him to strengthen me he literally just carries me through the day! You know that poem where the guy is like well why did you leave me? When he saw only 1 set of footprints and he was like that is where I carried you! Yup that is me! There are only one set of footprints throughout my mission! Not because I am walking along but because I am being carries through it! I know that because I have been able to do things that Heaven knows I can't do on my own! 

I got to go to KALAMAZOO this week for trade offs and serve on the WMU campus with Sister Chatman! She is a Sister Training Leader and so awesome! I love her so much! I had a blast spending the day with her! And in one day I converted her to may ways of essential oils! Haha she is hilarious! I met a guy on campus he has been a convert for 2ish weeks and he is such a great example! It snowed the other day and he saw a kid walking without a coat and it was cold! So he ran up to the guy and was like Dude where is your coat and he told him he didn't have one! HE GAVE HIM HIS COAT!! Talk about a Christlike Person! Incredible right?? So now Wyatt walks around without a coat! He is a true example of Charity!

So like I said it has snowed and it has been really rainy outside and I have been outside a lot! Yup I got sick! I have a lovely cold! I didn't have to pray for that trial ...it just came! Haha I was so upset because I was asked to sing in Stake Conference and well...I sounded like a man! Good thing I chose a low song! Haha I woke up Sunday morning and It had gotten worse! I was like no no no!!! I was praying so hard that i would be able to sing! We got to the church early to practice and Sister Roberts was like are you sure you are going to be able to sing? I was like I WILL SING! Haha I am stubborn like that! So right before I am suppose to go up I hurry and suck on a cough drop and I was like Heavenly Father please help me that I will be able to sing to the best of my ability right now and that everyone will be able to feel the spirit! I don't know who sang but it was not me! Haha I was at a members house later that day and I asked for a tissue and he looked at me and was like are you sick? And I was like yup! You know what he said? He said, "I couldn't even tell when you were singing!" MIRACLES ARE ALL AROUND US!! haha but for real! 

Some funny things from this week

1-I convinced Sister Roberts that a cop car was a taxi! Haha when she believed me I was like a Taxi that only takes people to one destination! Haha I think I am pretty funny!!

2-I fed Sister Roberts LDM and Oregano...Yup that was for my own entertainment and I had a pleasing result!

3-Indra is a lady we go see and I havent seen her in a while and when we walked in she was like there are my little Bunnies! Haha made my whole day! I just love her!! 

I love Michigan! It is exactly what I need in my life right now and it is preparing me for the rest of my life! This world is CRAZY!! And we need a firm foundation to be able to stand its stroms!! If we don't have that foundation a slight rainfall will break us! Satan is strong but Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are stronger so let them help you!!

My challenge for you this week is to do something that will strengthen your relationship with your Father and Savior! Pray about what you think your should do and then act immediately!(: I promise  you it will change your life!! 

I appreciate all your prayers and support! You are all amazing and I love you but better yet your Heavenly Father loves you!!

Have a very fabulous week!!
