It's up to you....

The first week in my new area was successful. It was great actually. I miss my old area like crazy, but I beginning to already love this new area. We are teaching great people. We also met a lot of great families this week. I love teaching families. The best lessons are always when we are teaching families and both the mma and rra (mother and father) are interested and feel the spirit. This week I was working on having the right attitude when it comes to the work. I get frustrated sometimes when it is like over 100’ outside and people don’t keep their appointments with us, and our back up plans aren’t home either. It is hot, and I get a little frustrated trying to think of what to do. So this week I decided to change my attitude no matter how hot it was. And the results were amazing. I decided when that happens to turn it over to the Lord because there must be someone He wants me to meet, or something He wants me to do. So whenever that happened this week we would pray and ask God where we needed to go, and we always find someone who needed to hear our message. There was one day, I believe it was Wednesday we only had 2 appointments scheduled all day, which meant a long day in the sun, but it was a great day because we kept the right attitudes and looked for the opportunities that were put in our path, and we ended up teaching some great people who really needed our help. Then on Thursday we had a full day of appointments scheduled, one lesson every hour all day, but guess what…not a single one of those people were home! Should be frustrating, right? But it wasn’t because we met some people who really really needed to hear the message we were sharing. So it ended being a wonderful day. It really all comes down to our attitude. We can be positive and look for the good in every situation, and allow the Spirit to lead us, or we can get frustrated and annoyed, and not be as productive all day. I am choosing to be productive and to follow the Spirit, and to find the good in every situation. That is my choice. I hope all of you will choose the same. Know that God has a reason for everything. It is just up to you to turn to Him and allow Him to show you that reason, or you can complain and miss the opportunities that are being presented to you. Well, those are my thoughts this week. I know without any doubts that Heavenly Father is aware of us, and is willing to lead us in this journey through life. We just have to allow him to. I hope you all CHOOSE to have a great week this week, no matter what.
