Hello, everyone. I'm here to update you on the week but especially my new comp! Her name is Sister Horman and I literally love her with my whole soul. She's from Logan, Utah, and so ready to work. It's been crazy since she got here, but she's handled it like a boss! I feel so sad knowing I only have a little time with her, so I am going to soak every second up!!!!
Something I loved this week is something my President said, and it will forever stick with me. So, you all know, we all know Doubting Thomas right? The one that said he wouldn't believe it until he saw the Christ... ya, but do you ever wonder who Thomas really was? Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father do NOT label their children. So why do we?
If we go a few chapters ahead, we see who Thomas really was. "Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him." Thomas was willing to go wherever the Savior went and was willing to die for him.
I am confident that is who Jesus Christ remembers. The Thomas who is willing--not the doubting! Jesus Christ ALWAYS remembers us at our best! Let's all be better at remembering the best and looking for the best in other people. That's what Jesus would do. 
We had MLC this week and it was awesome to receive guidance so we can all better our efforts to the work of the Lord!!!
Also!!! I am an aunt ×2!! So happy for Taylor and Ellie and my cute Otto boy. Nothing makes me happier than seeing him become a big brother. His name is Archer! I was in tears seeing pictures of him and El, literally so grateful for families and so grateful he was born close to the end. Can't wait to meet my little Archie boy!
Something I've learned on my mission is that hard is good! I had an experience on my mission where honestly, I was just so done and not doing well. I was tired, I was struggling, and it just wasn't fun. I opened up my scriptures to D & C 122: 7, and it said, "My son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." This was when I realized everything that is going on is for my good, for my growth! HARD IS GOOD! The Lord never asks us to stay the same or we wouldn't come to the earth. He asks us to grow, and he gives us experience, and I am so grateful. I've learned to rely, to trust, and to have faith.
