Happyyy 2015!!!!!

Hey everyone!!

I cannot believe it is 2015 this week!!! Here goes the start of one full year in VA! It is weird to think that I know basically everything I will be doing each day of the year.. Pretty much it'll include saving lives!! :) Ha!

I hope everyone had a wonderful CHRISTmas!!

...If some of you are having trouble believing in Santa... please read Zechariah 1:8, 2:6. Enough said :)

I hope you were all able to focus on Christ and how much He has given us. Being on a mission and focusing my entire life on Him right now has helped me truly see how He is the gift of Christmas. Heavenly Father gave him to us! And Christ gave His life for us. We can give back!! If you haven't already, I would invite you ALL to think of something you could do this new year to give back!

I have been sooo lucky to be serving in the best wards for Christmas!!! As you can see in the picture, Sister Cordner and I have received a LOT from them. We feel so loved!! I'm so grateful for all the love and support we get daily!!

I'm so grateful for all of YOU back home and for helping me have the best day too :) You all amaze me!! And of course I had the best time skyping my family!!!!!!! Best. Day. Ever. :D

Yesterday I was sick and didn't make it to church. What a weird day! Heavenly Father truly knows how to force someone to slow down and rest... I needed it! It was wonderful :)

Don't forget that you are all sons and daughters of Heavenly Father. He knows and loves each and every one of you!! Also, don't forget to read the Book of Mormon! Read, read, read! It truly does bless my life, and I promise it will bless yours!! 1 Nephi 19:23-24. Liken all scripture unto you that it might be for your profit and learning. :) When I read the scriptures, every single time the Lord answers my questions and calms my concerns!! Without fail. The Spirit is amazing and is always trying to give you answers--all we need to do is search and ACT.

I love you all!!!!!

Happy New Year :)
