​So, I am going to put my Grandma and Grandpa on the spot right now because after I got this picture I was obsessing over it! I have been thinking about it all week! (forgive me for not asking for permission- haha) 

In January my Grandpa received the Priesthood and then in January him and my Grandma were sealed in the Temple for Time and all Eternity! That is a very powerful statement that has a lot of meaning. We are experiencing but a small portion of what our life includes. (My thoughts are kinda scattered right now so bear with me.) 

The Gospel has eternal significance, it is not just for now it is for always! As we apply the principles the gospel teaches we can experience JOY! As I look at this picture of my grandparents I see joy written all over them! I can't help but smile when I see this picture! The goal is to return to God and live with Him. HOW CAN WE DO THIS? By making and KEEPING the covenants we make in the Temple. We should always keep our sights on the temple. That is where we can experience this joy. The world is trying to tell us other wise but remember that is Satan and he wants all men to be miserable like unto himself. So my advice is to be in the world but not be of the world and always live worthily to enter into the temple. 

Haha I am missing the temple if you cannot tell! 

My week has been super busy! We had a Half Mission P-Day which is where half of our mission got together and played games all day! it was so much fun!! I hung out with Sister Guest all day! she is awesome. We bonded haha I love that! You can just go up to a missionary and Insta friends! it is fantastic. It was fun to just relax and have fun! we played a lot of water games and I am tan! haha it is great! 

I was in Kalamazoo for the day on Thursday for Trade offs and I learned so much from Sister Cornia. She is my Sister Training Leader and a fabulous missionary! We walked A TON!! Haha I ended up with a hole in my foot! haha It was great! 

So I decided to share with you all some of my favorite responses from the door step as of why people cannot meet with us or cannot learn more about Jesus Christ. Starting with my favorite:

1-My Dogs are Barking

2-I am taking care of my palnts.

3-My Kids aren't home

4-I'm going out of town and I don't know when I am coming back.

5-I am showering

6-I travel a lot

7- I have kids

8- I can't open my door, my dog's a runner

9- My door won't open

10- I have an opinion but I am not going to participate 

11- My daughter is sick 

12-I have to keep my heart rate up

and of course you have all the classics 

-I am really busy 

-I am comforatble

-I have Jesus in my home 

-I have a church

-I have been saved

and then there are those who look at us and just say 

NO NO NO 

and then close the door! hahaha it is great! 

Well I Love you all and hope you have a fabulous week!
