Another transfer starts today! Sister Hortal and I are still here (no big surprise), and the only other things of note are that there's a new AP (since Elder Johnson is going home), so that'll be an adventure. Other than that, not too many interesting changes! There's a lot of new STLs and companionships, so we're excited to start working with them. Oh, something exciting is that Sister Moore (who I trained in Hidalgo) is an STL now, so I get to work with her again! Happy day.
This week's theme to study has been losing yourself. It's a weird thing to thing about, because it's a big focus on the mission, but then you focus on it and it feels weird to focus on it because you're supposed to focus outward and not inward to lose yourself. Anyway, in trying to help other sisters and learn about it for myself, I learned a lot about changes of heart. I realized that in order to have a change of heart, you have to get your heart outside of yourself, and THEN Christ can change it. And we get it outside of ourselves by focusing completely on others. I don't know that I have any life-changing comments, but I found a really good talk called "the thoughts of our heart, or why do we do what we do" on speeches.byu.edu and I highly recommend reading it. It opened my eyes and helped me see a little bit more of how we as humans and members of the church work.
Ultimately, I realized that losing yourself happens when you don't try to. When you just love others, it will come. That's it. Simple. :)
Anyway, I love you all!
Love,
