Blessings All Around :)

Hi everyone! 

If there's one thing I want to say this week it is that I am so grateful for my Savior and I know that He lives. He seemed a little closer this week. One of my transfer goals is to allow Christ's Atonement to carry me. I have felt His support in so many ways this week as it has been a bit harder, and I know that He can do that same for all of you. He has the power to comfort, bring patience, and give you continued strength to keep pushing on when you don’t feel like you can keep pushing on. This week He put little things along the way that helped me stay positive and I just have felt so much more gratitude for the simple things in life. I'm grateful I'm here in Australia surrounded by these people. I love our members and the relationships we have. I love laughter. I love sunshine and the blue skies. I love the mountains. I love having time to paint and draw and think. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and the peace it really does bring!!! I love my life and all of you! 

The highlight of this week was definitely last night. We got a message saying that our friend Jesse had just baptized his nephew a few days ago and he also blessed and passed the sacrament at home yesterday. How special. My heart just keeps filling with so much gratitude for Jesse and I'm so thankful I get to witness His progress. 

Keep counting your blessings. We have so much good around us and so much we can still be grateful for despite all the hard things going on. He loves you and wants you to be happy. :-) Have an amazing week, stay safe, and remember that peace can be found in and through our Savior Jesus Christ when we choose to humble ourselves and let Him in. This is certain!
