Greetings all! I am doing so well here, and thank you all for your letters and notes. I miss you all so much.
This
week was especially awesome for a couple reasons. First of all, there
were some cool winds that came by, just enough to feel cold but not
enough to get you cold. And I totally loved it. I love Fall. I will say
though, I miss the leaves. They're my favorite.
We
had a branch Halloween party, and it was fun. I played with the kids a
lot, because I didn't have to talk with them to make them laugh. That
was awesome.
We continue to teach Ana and Armando,
and it's been going really well. In the past, Armando said that he felt
religious, and with with time his faith faded. And he told us the reason
he started taking the lessons was because he wanted to just get
religious again. But during the lessons we've been teaching him, I've
already seen the growth of his understanding of the truth and wanting to
be more than just religious. He's such a good guy.
You
know, I have been really enjoying life. And as I was thinking why, I
realized I really started enjoying every little blessing in life. I love
taking a hot shower in the morning, I love eating good food; life is
good. And one day, when I was loving feeling a cool breeze across me, I
thought "I am so grateful for this breeze. Thank you for sending it, to
bring me this happiness." I felt so lucky and blessed to be living such a
wonderful life. I then came across this truth: With loves comes
gratitude. When you truly love something, you'll just want to kneel down
and thank God for being able to experience that. I was so grateful for
that breeze because I loved it.
I
hope all of you find joy in God's little tender mercies. That is when
you find happiness. Love your family. You'll be happy. Love Autumn. It's
awesome. Happiness, love, and gratitude are one eternal round.
Love you all!
