What a sunshiny day!

It's a thursday, folks; according to Rebecca Black and her informational music video, that means tomorrow is friday! Congrats, you have [almost] made it through the week! I commend you on this accomplishment.
Today was wonderful. It didn't snow, my spanish teacher didn't show up to class, I finished reading a book [for fun] and I got married in my mission prep class!
Wait what? Married, in a mission prep class? How does that even happen?
Okay, it was only for 15 minutes, so don't freak out and it was to demonstrate what you can do when investigators want to be baptized but have great concerns about it. My "husband" was an already baptized member of the Catholic church and I was deathly afraid of water. This experience taught me the following things (inorder from least to most importance):

1. Sometimes boys smell really nice
2. There's no way that I, alone, can bring people to the gospel
3. Teaching by the spirit (the Holy Ghost) and being able to have the courage to follow the spirit are mighty important when sharing the gospel with others

Alone, I wont do much. With the spirit I can do anything. I've never been particularly vocal about sharing my testimony. I tend to keep the things I hold dear closed to others. There was a time where I sought to be heard and understood, but then for whatever reason I became protective about my personal views and thoughts. But, to be a good missionary I know there will be times where I will be prompted to say things i'll feel weird about bringing up, there will be times when i'll have to be very personal. Up until today, i've doubted my ability to express things adequately. Until now, I didn't know if I could actually get over my fear of speaking infront of people. The Holy Ghost is powerful and as I prepare myself for the constant companionship of the spirit I know I will be ready to spread the gospel, in whatever way i'm needed to. 

Love,
