January 22, 2017

Dear Stephen,

This week I feel like I was not the best self I could have been.  I held hands with a boy who then ignored me for the rest of the week, went on two dates with two different boys (and actually both were very fun cool people), and saw friends, started classes.  But all in all, week one of becoming more purposeful in my dealings . .  not the most successful.  Not that I am not grateful.  I loved going to get ice cream with Jess, Cass, Mark, Katie, and Trent; hanging out with Jess Church, and being part of such cool classes, and getting visited by several people in the ward because we are an apartment full of new people (seriously, our ward is so so awesome) but really, I just wasn't being the person God needed me to be.  I was kind of distracted.

So this week I am going to do better.  My new calling in the ward is to be a Sunday School teacher.  And I thought, oh fun, I love teaching!  But then today I found out I am going to be teaching a member missionary work class.  And they are not entirely sure about the curriculum.  Now, if they had asked me to teach D and C, ya I got it.  The family history sunday school class--easy, I was a TA last semester.  But member missionary work in Provo, UT.  That is hard.  And something I am not very good at.  So I just know that I am going to see miracles this semester because anything I teach them, God will have to teach me first.  I really have never done member missionary work here in Provo.  So I am excited to pray hard and really figure out what God needs me to do with this class.

But anyway, if you have any tips, tell me!  

Also, Happy Brithday!  Make your birthday great, don't expect it to be made great for you, and it will be great.  My first bday in the misison was awful, but the second one was amazing!


Love, Liza
