It's all worth it!!

Hey ya'll;

-This week both my companion and I (one day after the next) got the 24 hour flu.

-We found out that Alysha is moving to Hot Springs, Arkansas. :(

-A lady we found called us the next day and was super anti-ed by people on the internet.

-Walked around the city for 3 hours straight without getting into a single home

-were on bike week

-had tornado warnings and people texting us saying that we were in the path of the tornado and the chances of one happening were 8 out of 10.

However, just as Elder Holland said, IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!

-There are still sister missionaries that live in Hot Springs to continue teaching Alysha and she texted us on Sunday with a quote from conference saying that it was going to be her new favorite!

-As we talked with this lady that was later anti-ed, we felt spirit so strong, and we were able to teach through the spirit! It was so powerful! Testimony builder!

-Just after we had finished sitting down to take a short break; a man drove up to us, and said he wants to talk more about God. He said he met missionaries in El Salvador and wants to know more! Even if we walked for 3 hours, with not much success, I would do it again for that ONE.

-We got to ride our bikes in pouring rain through town 2 different days! SO ADVENTUROUS...plus the looks you get from people who think you are crazy riding bikes are classic.

-There was no tornado that came through. There was tons of lightning, thunder and rain but no tornado. Good news: there has never been a tornado here in Russellville! We have our 72 hour kits ready to go too!

I love the quote by President Monson:

"We can choose to have a POSITIVE attitude. We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. In other words, we can choose to be happy and positive, regardless of what comes our way."

Day by day life will continue to go on; so we might as well enjoy it! 

There is always something to be grateful for!

LOVE you ALL!!
