Another week!

Hello again to everyone! Another awesome week here. We got to go play racquetball this morning with a 70 year old member and his buddy at the naval base. It was super fun getting to learn how to play and seeing how good he was for his age!

 This week we found an awesome family named Elijah and Raquel. They are this awesome couple that are totally ready for the gospel. They have 5 little girls, all under the age of 10. It reminded me of Jeff and all of his little girls! But they are totally prepared. I absolutely love getting to find these people that the Lord wants us to teach. I don't really know how to put into words the joy that I have at this time in my life. I cannot describe the joy that I feel getting to consecrate myself to the Lord. I love how there is so much to learn and how every day teaches me a new lesson. There isn't anything that I could think of that could be better then experience that I am having right now. I have learned that the key to happiness is to enjoy the presence of the spirit in every moment. If you have the spirit, you are happy. As we do things to have the spirit with us, we live lives that are full of joy. As we make decisions that don't invite the spirit (breaking the commandments or mission rules), we don't have the spirit, and thus are not truly happy. 

I hope that all of you enjoy this upcoming week!
