Love You All!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all finding so much joy in life!

For those of you in school, the end is so so near. Sprint to the finish!!! You've got this!!

Things here in Thailand have been so good! Each day we are faced with new challenges, and I find so much joy in accomplishing them with Jesus Christ right by my side. The area I am currently serving in is called Ayutthia, and the flooding is really bad right now. Many of our friends and members can't live in their homes until the flooding goes down. We would appreciate all of your prayers for them and their families. I know that Heavenly Father will take care of them and keep the work moving forward. 

This week I have been thinking a lot about forgiveness. It is crucial to forgive an infinite number of times in order to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. Letting go of hard times can be a real challenge, but I promise that as you give it all to the Lord, He will help you be strong enough to move forward and choose charity. 

I love you all so much! Thank you for your prayers and support!

Last Week of MTC!!!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! This week has been amazing!! We only have about 3 more days here, which is CRAZY, and then we're off to Thailand!! This week I've been thinking a lot about my family. Growing up, they always taught me to be the first ones to start working and the last ones to leave. I learned to always "ask for your next job" until the work was completed. Whether it is doing service projects, cleaning up ward activities, or working on the playhouse, we always strive to follow that motto.  In the Book of Mormon, the brother of Jared and his family were living in a place called Moriancumer. They had put a lot of work into building up their home there, and they were very comfortable and content. After 4 years of living there, the Lord spoke to the brother of Jared and asked him why he "remembered not to call upon the name of the Lord".   The Lord always has more work for you to do! We can't just sit in our comfortable li...

THAILAND!!

Helloooo from Thailand!! I am so sorry I don't have a lot of time today, but I will try to send a longer email next week! It's official! I got here last week, and it's been crazy but so so good! My trainer's name is Sister Skidmore and she is absolutely AMAZING! I am so so blessed to be with her, and she knows literally everything haha. I am so excited to learn from her! I am in Hua Hin and I LOVE the people here! The hardest part has been the culture shock. But I have found so much comfort in the Spirit! "for the Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and forever." - 2 Nephi 2:4 No matter where we are, the spirit and the gospel are the same for all of God's children. I have never been more grateful for this truth, but I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to find true peace because His Spirit is consistent and constant.  I love you all!! And I miss you! Good luck 23A! - Sister South Leaving the MTC In the Salt Lake City airport

Thank You!!

Hello everyone!!  I wanted to thank you all for the thoughtful emails you sent me this week. They completely turned my week around and helped me feel so much love and positivity. I am so incredibly blessed to have friends and family like you supporting me while I am gone. Thank you for following the promptings of the Spirit. What may have seemed like small gestures to you were huge miracles in my life. Thank you for being such amazing examples to me! I love you all!! This week has been a rollercoaster! But so so good!! I love my district more and more every day, and it is so hard to imagine being a missionary without them. I can't wait for these next 10 days together!  Probably the hardest part about being in the MTC is not having children in my life! I miss them sooooo much! Children love so freely, and they love so simply! I try hard to see the world through their eyes without all of the prejudice and judgment, but it's really difficult! Loving others is so simple, and I adm...
