on top of the world

rain and cold, but still smiling

This week we met a girl and her boyfriend and taught them the restoration discussion.  I have never met anyone, or seen anyone, who is longing for the gospel so much, but doesn't even know it.  It really opened my eyes.  People need this, that is why I am out here on my mission.  The Lord is truly preparing people for the word, but I still need to labor diligently to find those people, even when it's pouring rain and cold!   People listen a little better when it's cold and rainy because they feel bad for you! 

I really love all the letters that everyone sends me.  They make me so happy and give me extra strength!  All the mail gets me so happy and helps me keep moving along strong!

This is what I need to be doing right now, serving the Lord.  Going on a full time mission is going to help me so much in life, it's a small sacrifice.  I love New Zealand.  It's the best mission in the world!
