It's great to be busy!

This week has been quite an long week. It's been a week full of
missionary work. We had a baptism in our ward for a deaf individual
this week. It was so great to see. It was fun to work along side the
ASL elders.

Today was Elder Bradshaw's birthday. We threw him a party! We played
volley ball and had a member bring lots of treats. It was super fun!

I'm so busy right now. It's fantastic! I love it. We are teaching a
lot of people regularly, which is so nice. I'm so glad to be in this
area at this time. I'm so glad that I have such a great companion that
I get along with so well. It really is a huge blessing.

This week I had the opportunity to speak in sacrament meeting. I was given the assignment to speak on Elder Arnold's talk, "To
The Rescue: We Can Do It!" It was a pleasure to speak on this subject,
because it relates directly to missionary work. As with all talks I
give, I told stories of my mother and how great she is. I talked of
how she rescued me and was such a wonderful influence in my life for
good. I had dozens of members come up and thank me for my talk. Then
they asked for me to personally thank my mom. So Mom, you're the best!
Everyone in Prescott Valley now knows it!

I have been blessed so greatly. I'm so glad I have is time in my life
to reflect on everything good that I have. It's so clear that God
loves me. As each of us take time to reflect on our lives, we can
always find something good if we choose to. God wants us to be happy
and will help us be happy as we reach out to Him in prayer. I know
this to be true!

I love you all! I hope all is well and you have a blessed week!
