Wow! This has been a week.
There were a few lows this week, but also miracles!
We finally got ahold of Debbye from a few months ago! She answered and I was so happy!! I cried happy tears and we set up an in person lesson for tomorrow!
We went to another orhard today
pictures included.
I invite you all to read the talk, "The Challenge to Become" by President Oaks. It is so good! A quote that I love, "From such teachings (in the Book of Mormon) we conclude that the Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become."
I learn two things from this:
First, we cannot simply go through the motions and check off boxes because if our covenants and promises we do not change us, we will not have become the person who God wants us to be.
Second, our choices do not define us. No matter what we have done, we can still return to live with God. Because of Jesus Christ and through true repentance, we can be forgiven of our mistakes and change. Our mistakes do not define us, we can always repent!
I love you all! I am really enjoying spending fall time with Sister Kobe, she loves fall sooo much, haha. The only thing we don't like is the change of temperature. We run the heater in the morning and the air conditioner in the afternoon.
