Count it All Joy

Heyo! 

Great news- General Conference was so spiritual, heartfelt and a brought a calm to so many troubled hearts!! I'd invite you to watch it, if you haven't yet, because I know you will find peace in their messages:))

It's hard to believe it's already October! I am feeling extremely blessed to be in Ontario during the Fall season:) With the leaves changing into bright oranges, reds, and yellows I can't help but smile!!! Also, I get to stay in Heartlake with Sister Gallup :))

This week we went and saw our member, Anita, in her backyard! She shared with us how and why she joined the church. She is so busy working 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week and she told us that on her last few days of the week, during the last few hours when she should be feeling exhausted, she feels energized! She testified to us that she knows it is because of Christ and His enabling power to give us strength beyond our own. 

I am surrounded by such faith filled people. I loved when Elder Holland said this weekend that we can't live a faith filled and stress-free life. In order for us to exercise faith, it can't be easy. He said, "faith means trusting in good times and in bad, even if that means suffering for a time until His arm is revealed." I know that we aren't alone in this journey back to our heavenly home, and for this reason we really can "count it all joy!"

Love you guys so much! Send me an update if you have time, and please let me know if I can do anything for you.
