Hello everyone! 

This week was fantastic! Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Made my Wednesday a whole lot better! :) 

This "birthday week" (as my mom would call it) was one for the books. 

We had a baptism and put another person on date and had a whole family come to church AND found 2 new people to teach! I am so happy we had time to work in our area.

I don't have a lot of time but I wanted to share with yall a little quote I wish I thought of myself but in all reality the Spirit put this into my head and I'm just grateful I had a pen in hand to write it. I was studying from a few general conference talks and then a talk called "The Character of Christ".

This is what was the results of my studies:

"IF good character is recognizing and positively responding to other people who are experiencing the very challenge we are, THEN self mastery is the ultimate test of our character"

I like this a lot because Christ CONSTANTLY thought outside of Himself, even though he went through so much more than any of us. 

If we are to think of others when we ourselves are struggling we have to have self mastery. 

How much do you sacrifice for others?

Do you think "wo is me" when bad things happen or do you ponder on who could benefit from you being kind to them? 

These are some things I ask myself all the time. 

I love you all!
