Busy- Wow!

Tommy sent me a short email but it sounds like I was lucky to get this.

"This has been a real good week... very very very very very busy. But very very very very very good. We had so many things to be worrying about and so many things that needed to be done, it was tough to focus as the week winded down, but we did! It felt really good. We had 4 Zone Conferences this week. 2 here in San Antonio, and 2 in Austin. We had to give the same hour long workshop training at each one. And we had to make sure that the agendas were made up and then that everything ran smooth. Then on top of all that, most importantly we had to keep track of our area and our investigators there. We did real well though. It was great! We met a lot of friends in the mission. It was a lot of fun."

Valentine's Week

Hello to all,
Well, good news is I am completely exhausted. Just a lot of great things always happening! I love serving a mission for so many different reasons! I am not sure if I have ever felt more accomplished or successful in life, doing anything else. I, and I think we all, strive to find that in our lives. I would have never thought that it would have been by such means that I could feel that way. And you definitely don't have to serve a full time mission to feel that way. It comes by making conscious decisions that are in harmony with the gospel of Christ. Making decisions that further us in the path to heaven. The gift and blessing from God is that He encourages us to continue by helping us feel so accomplished and blessed as we make those correct decisions. I am so happy to have a knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For the image I have of myself, having entered into the gate and advancing along the path that Nephi explains in chapter 31 of the book of 2 Nephi. It brings me much peace and comfort. I love you all and pray that we all take more steps this week along the path together.
