Week 8!

Yep... this is the beginning of week 8. Normally transfers are 6 weeks, but not this time. 8 weeks. But it honestly has flown by. But next week will be transfers, so we'll find out my destiny next week. :) haha. There's not a lot of time this week, so I'll keep it short.

I'm doing really well, it's officially fall here, it rained again this week, and it's supposed to rain a lot this week. Good thing waterproof clothes work and exist. 

I love the idea of mutual improvement. The idea of improving mutually, where both parties benefit. As it states in Doctrine and Covenants, "enseñarse el uno al otro la doctrina del reino" I think that among all of us we would be a lot happier if we looked for more opportunities to learn from others and serve them as well. In the ward where I'm at, the poison of gossip and pride is dividing the ward, and it's sad. I've honestly never seen anything close to it, and it's a ward FULL of potential and great leaders. But they are really divided and try to cut each other down with gossip and it's really too bad. I hope I can be humble enough to recognize it if that poison starts to take over me. We all think sometimes that it will never happen to us, but it can happen to anyone. That's why humility is so important, I think. As Alma wrote, joy comes from humbly seeking happiness.

I love you guys all a lot and hope you have an incredible week!

P.S. Sorry for the short email, I'll do better next week :)
