Bend!

 

Hello Everyone!
 

I'm currently serving in Bend, OR, in the Mountain View Ward. It is AMAZING here! I love it SO much! It snowed yesterday...I'm not exactly "use" to the cold I've just come to grips with it as a constant in my life right now :)
 

My new companion is Sis Eggleston, she is 19 from Lehi, UT and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Yesterday during the snow, we were driving to church (That's right, still NO bike for this sister!!!) and we almost died! We slid across the road and it was seriously SCARY! Mom you know you taught me how to drive and based on that alone I'm positive it was nothing short of a miracle that I was able to keep us right side up and in one piece :)

 

I'm training again, Sis Eggleston is a greenie....I was still nervous but, I had prayed about my new companion prior to finding out who she was. In answer to my prayers, I knew that I would be training, I knew that she would be brand new, I knew that she would struggle and I knew that I would be able to help her through this time. The power of revelation is true and real and completely amazing! When President Samuelian introduced us, I wept...I knew who she was and that this was the Sister that was meant to be my companion. Knowing that we can receive revelation is powerful...I've always "known" it, heard it but....to have it, to feel it...to KNOW it as a real entity in my life....wow, that's a game changer!

 

I can't wait to hear ALL about the foster kids! Details mom! Don't forget to tell them how awesome I am because....seriously I'm the rock star of this family! :)

 

With moving and all the snow drama I don't have a "lesson" as much as a Sis Z message for my fellow Z's.

You are who you are, no less and no more...We are all children of our father in heaven...that is who we ARE! That is who you ARE! A child of our father in heaven...no less! And No More...because there is NO greater blessing. Each day that we wake we decide who we are and what we will be that day....who are you today? If the you in your reflection isn't who you thought you'd be, or who you want to be....then change you. Be who you want to be...don't settle....make different choices, go against the grain, be strong, stand up, fight for what you believe....you are who you are no less and no more - be your best you! Don't waste another moment planning or preparing to become....do it!

 

I love you ALL! Study the scriptures...the knowledge in them, is unending and I am constantly amazed at the answers they hold. Thanks for all the letters Granny you make me giggle! Mick seriously WRITE ME! Mommy & daddy I love you SO much! Kiss the babies for me and send lots of pictures!

XOXO
