Count Your Many Blessings

Well, this week my subject line comes from what I feel has helped me with some of the the hard times in missionary work. Recognizing the blessings that come from Heavenly Father, and then remembering them. The times I haven't recorded them in my journal is the times I don't get to express my gratitude to Heavenly Father for them. When we record them, we are able to learn from them.

A few notable things happened this week, One is that we had a Halloween Party in our branch - and we decorated a room in the church, and then Elder Tan (and I did too a little bit) dressed up for the activity. We had a game, and Elder Tan scared a few of the kids that came in the other rooms that we hosted. After the activity we had some refreshments (dinner). ​​We had two members of our branch organize the activity. One was from here, a local (who served a mission in Temple Square) the other was a member of our branch who is from Ukraine (also a RM and here with her husband who is from Ukraine as well).

We got to go the the YMCA this last Monday as well. We played some games, and had fun. We played lots of games that seemed like they were for kids who were younger than us, such as blowing a balloon until it popped, and then stacking cups on top of each other, but it was still fun, and we had a good time.

I have a testimony that this work is true, and that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission, and to learn on my mission.
