honestly im just gonna jump right into it!! both my companion and i had lice all week:) :) :) :) #blessed but ya know its like, what can ya do?! make the most out of it, no?? i can honestly say there was a community of lice eggs in my hair just waiting to hatch and build a city. at first i was disgusted with myself but then i was like, honestly if noah can build an ark, we can build a bridge and just get over it ya know????? so we did :) :) i think theyre gone now but ive really gotten to the point where its like honesly if you like my scalp you can have it, i like it too.
this place is so santa hot right now. everything we do, we sweat. *eating* *sweating* *sleeping* *sweating* *sitting* *sweating* *crying happy tears* *sweating* *showering* *sweating* *breathing* *sweating* - everytime we sweat we say to eachother, theres absoutely no way we´re not losing weight right now. so you could say thats the most used sentance we use other than, hola! somos representantes de jesu cristo! usted tiene un forma de religion???;) hahaha
honestly you guys, i have such a problem writing these emails everyweek, because i cannot describe in words how blessed i feel to be here right now. and how blessed are we to have the perfect person, jesus christ as our example and eternal goal? sometimes celestial goals seem beyond our reach, but the lord would never give us goals that he knew we could not do. sometimes i feel like satan turns the inspiration of the gospel into self loating and misery making. but beating up on ourselves is not going to make us the person that heavenly father wants us to become. somewhere in ETERNITY (emphasis on eternity, not within the next month) our refinement will be finished and complete. i am gratefyl to know that inspite of my imperfections, at least god is perfect, that he is able to love his enemies, because too often you, and i are his enemy. at least god can bless those who despitefully use him because we all despitefully use him. our only hope for true perfection is in recieving it as a gift from heaven. we cannot "earn it." the parable of the 10,000 talents isnt about 2 servants arguing in the new testament. its about us! the fallen human family. we need to be a little more godlike in the little things, that we speak, act, love, forgive, repent, and improve at least the 100- pence level of perfection that is clearly in our ability to do! and remember that there have been no flawless performances on this earthly journey we are all pursuing! once, a priest who was cirticized by one of his congregants for not living as well as he should, responded by saying, "look at my life now and compare it to my former life. attack me if you wish, i do this to myself, but dont attack the path i follow. if i know that way home but am walking along drunkely, is it any less the right way simply because i am staggering from side to side?" instead of judging we need to give our help to anyone trying to walk the road back to god! every one of us aspires to be more christlike than we often succeed in living. but if we admit that honestly, and are trying to improve, we are not hypocrites, we are human! surprise hermana mcewan, youre human ha!
continue to strive, even if its clumsily, continue to give thanks, even though it may be inadequately, and continue from grace to grace:)<3
