Where does the time go...

Hello! We are writing today because we moved into a new apartment on Monday and didn't have anytime to write! I hope everyone is doing well.. The weather here is finally warming up! I am continuing to work hard and learn and grow. I don't have a lot to talk about but I love the work!

Man! That is so exciting! I love when families get baptized! That is cool that you will be teaching primary! President McConkie said that after he returns home he fully expects to serve in the nursery.. His point was that it never really matters what your call is, don't aspire, just go where the Lord puts you! He also said it is a blessing when you don't always have the same stewardship responsibilities that some other callings call for, and at the same time he said that it is a blessing to serve in those callings.. All callings are blessings, none is more important than the other! Mom I had a really cool study about repentance yesterday! It was awesome.. I was reading in Alma 5 and learned that "a change of heart" is perhaps, not really the fruit of repentance, but a seed of repentance. Alma talks about how when we are in sin, we have the chains of hell around us but as we repent, we experience a change of heart, and awake unto God. Afterwards once the repentance is 'complete' in that thing, THEN you receive a "mighty change of heart", not simply a change of heart, but a mighty change. I drew in my notes three different hearts:

1. A "chained" heart
2. A changed heart
3. A mightily changed heart

It was a good study! I love personal study! That is something I will definitely take home with me is a love of studying the gospel daily!

You'll have to tell Zach and Sadie I said happy birthday! Welp! Love you!
