January 17, 2012 - Fontana

I have been called as district leader and I had the Balls in my district meeting today. We talked on discouragement today. Trust me I think everyone in that room including myself needed to be taught on it. I'm thankful to be worthy to receive the revelation needed to teach those that have been put under my stewardship. I have felt really good about my first two district meetings this transfer. I feel like I have had much inspiration given to me on the matter and I am blessed for being able to teach and lead(though we both know that leading is a quality i struggle with;) ). We watched Presdient Uctdorf's talk "You Matter To Him!" which was amazing as always. I loved that talk cause it gave me a completely different outlook on myself as a person. I am convinced and have such a firm testimony that he knows me individually and is willing to help me with all that i ask for, as long as i ask in faith. I have gained so much knowledge of the gospel on my mission so far and know that I am serving the Savior. I just pray that I am able to be strong the rest of my mission. I cannot believe that I only have 10 1/2 months left! It feels like an eternity away but looking back to the beginning of my mission it feels like nothing has gone by.

I attended Paul's funeral this past week. It was tough. But it is definitely a good thing to know that he is doing the Lord's will and having completed all he could for the Lord here I guess that there more needed for him to do there than here. He was truly an amzing person and I was blessed to be able to teach and baptize him.

Just know that I love you and I am trying my best to serve The Lord. Have a great Week!
