Always Focus on the Positive (Week 76) — Called to Serve in Cuiaba

Sweet Moses this week it rained like you've never seen it on Friday then on Saturday it just turned into a sauna in the whole city. My whole entire wardrobe just turned one hint yellower after Saturday hahaha.

Our lovely new house is doing great she's a trooper. We're still waiting on beds and places to hang our clothes and just about everything you need to have a comfortable life hahah but patience is a virtue. I'm kind of worried God is trying to send me a sign because my patience has been tested many a time out here hahah. Tryin not to get too creative on my thinking haha.

This week was a little tougher than normal. Things have been a bit slow, I've kind of just been feeling like I'm in a tiny bit of a rut. I was praying and talking to Heavenly Father about how I could get out of this rut. I got up to shower and started thinking about what I was gonna write in my weekly email and the poor me ish kicked in and was like there's nothing cool to write about this week. For a second I decided to agree with that thought, but as I really thought and I remembered back on all the rad memories I had this week. We had a sweet barbeque 2 times with members, we've been making friends with the members and doing family nights. Humberto got a job interview and Elder Decker and I are just buds. As I took a sec to be really grateful it opened my eyes and brightened my soul! It was a really good reminder to stop being such a boob and always focus on the positive!

Reading the Book of Mormon has got me through some rough mental ish out here, as well has the reading of the New Testament. As I read about my Savior and His acts and love for everyone, it fills me with happiness and I feel that He exists and loves me. There is no replacement for reading the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon!
