So, every Friday, we devote the whole day for planning for the upcoming week. In my opinion, this is one of the best days of the week! We get a chance to pray for everyone we are seeing individually, and then setting up plans for them based on the direction of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, we don't even recognize when we are being prompted to put in a name in a specific time until later in the week. I can't tell you how many times we put someone in, and it ends up being the only time they can see us that week. Planning day is such a miracle =)
At times, it can also become one of the funnier days in the week. We all get something I like to call the "planning day crazies". It comes from spending hours indoors with lots of strenuous thinking. Well, this Friday, my companion Sister Clark and I had the crazies pretty bad. We decided to take a break by taking random pictures.
We really are crazy =)
Today we are going on something called exchanges. It is where another missionary from another area gets to come out with us for the day. I love exchanges, because it helps me to get advice from an outside source. I am hoping that our exchanges will help me come up with better ideas of how I can be a better trainer and example to the other missionaries around me. People will always remember what we do. While I am here, I am wearing the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ, on my chest. I want to do everything I can to represent Him in the best way that I can. I am growing so much every day, and I know that it is because I am making more of an effort to become more like Him. I know that true happiness can come as we strive to live a higher standard of living that is taught to us by Jesus Christ. I have never been happier in my life than I have been while on my mission. All of the hardships and trials we face are so worth it, if it means my Heavenly Father is making me into a better version of myself. Planning day crazies and all =)
