Onward ever onward --- Aug 5th

Hi Family!!

This week has been good but tough. I always want to make the best decisions and do exactly what I am needed to do, but it can be so hard to know sometimes. I have been studying in Preach My Gospel ch. 4 this week that talks all about this. Answering questions like What should I do? Where should I go? What should I say? How should I use the scriptures and what scriptures should I use? etc. It has been an amazing experience for me to study all these different questions that I ask myself everyday and try to find answers from the scriptures. 
Basically, with every question it is ALL about the spirit! Therefore, I really got to work to have the spirit with me always so that the spirit can work through me when I need help. I love also that God knows that we aren't perfect. Now I just have to remember that He knows that and allow myself to also know it. I've got to count on Him to always help me when I am in need, as long as I am worthy of His help and striving to receive it. 

Being a missionary can be quite tough sometimes, but Oh so good also! I think my favorite thing is that I get to be my best self. I get to shine and be physically and spiritually exhausted daily. It is a feeling unlike any other! I hope that you will all always strive to be your best selves always! Be in the right places, wear the right things, make the right decisions, and help those around you do the same also, even just by seeing your strong example of righteousness. Also hope for and work for the guidance and help of the spirit that is promised to ALWAYS be with us as long as we are worthy of that love! 

It is truly an incredible thing to be a missionary. I love it daily! It seems that I can always feel this force inside of me pushing me to be better and to never give up. It is the most incredible thing. I hope I will never lose it! I know God is building His army all over the world now. He is preparing the world for His coming and we need to all remember that and be ready daily to stand strong with Him as His disciples! 

I love you all! Have a great week! I can't believe it is August already! crazy!! 5 more months is all I have. I can't believe it. Ahhh....

Ju dua shumë!
