Week #22 - Smell the Roses

Kingston is beautiful it reminds me a lot of Windsor and the people are amazing! The Members are so sweet and always looking out for each other. We have received many member referrals of people that need a reboot. I love being able to be apart of this ward.  I'm grateful to be a missionary:)

This transfer God is teaching me to have fun and enjoy being a missionary.  I remember you telling me to enjoy being a missionary and to "smell the roses" haha.  I definitely stressed my self to the max and I feel Heavenly Father has helped me learn to chill out.  I feel I am starting to learn what the real meaning of patience is, especially with myself :) I am finding more happiness then I've felt and its not only the spiritual side, but it is my well being too.  Life is just so much more beautiful as I stay centered and focused on knowing that I am a daughter of God, with the potential of his inherent gifts and talents as a part of me. I've learned a lot about meekness, and humility and I hope to gain those Christ like attributes. I believe if you devote yourself to meekness and charity God will bless YOU. I promise you will see and feel REAL Joy.
