Lord, Is It I?

February 16, 2015

HOLA FAMILIA!!!!

Well, this week has been such a roller coaster for me. I have tried so hard to be happy and positive but sometimes it is so hard. I have never felt so much sorrow or loneliness within myself because I just want to be a better person and be happy. But the other day I was reading the talk Lord, Is It I? by President Uchtdorf from last conference and it really helped me out. This week I want to focus more on me... the things that I need to change about myself because I am definitely not perfect. President Uchtdorf said, "Im not sure why we are able to diagnose and recommend remedies for other peoples ills so well, while we often have difficulty seeing our own." I cant change my circumstances, but I can change how I react to my circumstances. I know that its me that needs to change.... but I am so grateful for hymns! Hymns have definitely saved me this week. I havent said much this week because everything has just annoyed me, so I have probably looked like Aub as she walks down the hall in school talking to herself because I just hum or sing hymns as I am walking down the street. 

We also had a ward blitz type thing this week and the hermana I went on splits with really helped me out. She said so many things that I needed to hear about companions. The Lord really places people in our way when we need them!

Chocolate has also saved me! Thanks so much for the package for my birthday!!!! You are the greatest!!! Although I will probably become fat because of it it makes me feel good for the moment. I have also come to love my language study time. I can just relax and have some alone time. 

This week I have learned so many things. I have learned to really talk to my Heavenly Father. He will always be there for us no matter what! I am so grateful for prayer!

Love you all! Sorry my letter this week is short and not the best, but I love you all so much! I hope you had a great Valentines day! I am so grateful to have you all in my life!:)
