  Hello everyone! This week was SO amazing! Nothing prepared me for how fast the rollercoaster of emotions as a missionary changes! Here is a rundown of what happened this week: - We were in Chiang Mai for about a week! It's about 7 hours north from where I am serving. This mission has made me LOVE traveling and road trips, because we go on one almost every other week. - We had a social media training day, where we learned how to better support our Facebook page. - It's been SO hot here. Even the dog that used to chase us every day is too tired from the heat, haha! - Dream got her mission call!! She is going to the Thailand Bangkok East mission! - We took a sleeper train to Chiang Mai. It was supposed to leave at 11:30pm, but it was late, so we sat at the train station until we left at 2am. But all is well because we taught the security guard how to play Uno. - We had Zone Conference with two zones (1/2 of the mission), and it was so, so amazing! I miss everyone sooooo much! - ...

Missions can't always just be water fights and mangos ;) I heard this quote from another Sister that I absolutely LOVE. I'm not sure who said it haha, but here it is: "What a privilege to be tired from the work you once begged God for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by the growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for."  How true! The life I am living right now is hard. But it is exactly what my past self, my future self, and even my present self would want. I have learned that one way we can be confident we are feeling the Spirit is through contentment. As I have woken up and poured my soul out to God, asking Him to just help me get through the day, I have felt Him carry me through eve...
