World! Yo i hope youre all ok and enjoying this new year of
2017 that just fell right on our laps. Hahaha i CANT BELIEVE 2016 is
over.
This week was different, many of our lessons fell through
due to the new year drunkness. Hahzha there is much partying here at this
moment but as usual, heavenly father led us to people to teach and success we
have found. This area is so cool. I love faaroa and my ward ànd my daughter sr
dumouchel and my district and my life. Even though i didnt sleep too well this
week im happY as a clam. :) i ate a totzl of one mussel and one oyster and
almostnthrew up both times. Yuck
As i was thinking about all of the months this year and what
happened and how i felt, i realized this was a year od intense feelings. I am
not really an intense person but i went through the most joyful of happy top of
the mountain moments to the worst of seriously AWFUL pits of doom hahaha.
Ok that was exaggerated but ive been through all the moods and personal
struggles this year more than ever. But i regret absoluteky nothing. Heres
why:
Reflections 101 by Audrey. 2016
Learn to trust in God. Thats all i can say to anyone who is
struggling with anything in their life. Learn to put yourself ô your knees and
just speak to him. Ask him to forgivr you, help you, and teach you. Promise him
you will do his will and MEÀN it. Out of the bajillion things i have learned
this year, this very short and lông year, it is this. Know he exists and that
he knows infinitely more than us, because he created us. He sees the entirety
of things, all the plans of all the people who were made by him and the perfect
exactness of WHO we are and who we can become, who we need to become.
Become that.
Humiliyy is the key to finding that will for ourselves, and
sometimes it is in the times of desperation to know something, ANYTHING, that
we seek Him. They are the only timed we are humble enough to do so with a
"fulness of heart" and again out of desperation to DO something good,
we immediately do what is made known unto us.
The desperation to to good. To become good. This
is what i have experienced this year; a desperation to know why im here and
know who i am through the eyes of jesus christ my savior and redeemer ànd who
HE is for me, how i can become who im supposed to be through his enabling grace
and infinite atonement.
Through him i have founf capabilities i never thiught were
possible. Like becoming somewhat trilingual and being able to teach the
language of the gospel also through throughh the language of the spirit in
these three languages. Haha. Like adapting to 100% humidity 100% of the time
and to a culture that is literally insane. :) learning to laugh at all things
possible because everything is hilzriius. Learning to overcome my passive
nature and be direct with others. Being in charge of 1827363 things at once.
Feeling a deep profound love for even people who dont like me. :) seeing them
as individuals to God and feeling impressed strongly of how i can help them.
PRAYING.
And a quote i read clear back in march when i road tripped
to washington with my friends #shoutoutto6chicks
"Dont sweat the small stuff (and really its all small
stuff)."
I am more sweaty than anyône reading this, but
remember if it doesnt affect your eternity, its nothing to get your panties in
a wad about. :)
I love each of you this much
-------------------------------------- happy new years!!
