Isn’t it about time :)

This week I just want to talk on an important lesson I have been learning over the last few months. For those of you who know me, you know that I am a very independent person, able and willing to do many things by myself. I would be the first person to say that I have never gotten homesick, never missed those I was not with, not because I don't love them, but because I just did not realize how much people should mean. But lately I have been experiences the wired feeling of being homesick. I have been confused by this feeling, unable to figure out what it is about this time in my life compared to all the other times that I have been gallivanting around that makes me miss those I most care about.  

 I have come to thing that it is because of all the things I wish I could more fully share with my family, with Chris, with my Young Women leaders, My YSA Branch, and all those who have shaped my life in a way that allowed me to come on this mission. I am learning so much and truly for the first time in my life understanding what should be important to me: Family, this Gospel, the Eternal Welfare of souls, everything I have in the past kind of neglected, things right now my whole life seems to be consumed with. Things that those I have really looked up to in life already seemed to understand as being important.

I don't have very much time, but I just wanted to challenge everyone this week, to remember what is important in life, and rearrange your priorities if needed to give time to these things.

I want to bear testimony That God is our living, loving, Heavenly Father. That Jesus is indeed the Christ, He who suffered all things for us. That Through Joseph Smith God restored HIS Church upon the earth today, the same church that I take pleasure in telling people about, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. I testify that family is important and that they deserve everything that we are able to give. And I do this in the Name of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
