On Tuesday, we did some service for a lady we met. Her name is Lynda. She lives on the top of a hill in Minehead. The view from her house was pretty amazing! We laid down wood chips in a garden path for her. It felt really good to do some manual labor. I've actually really missed that. We also mowed a couple lawns this week which was also surprisingly fun! I had my first actual lesson with someone this week. We are teaching this lady named Vicky and her boyfriend, Jewels. Jewels isn't really interested, but Vicky has loved learning more about the gospel. She has been through a lot in her life. But we were able to share with her that she has loving heavenly father. It was so amazing to see how happy she looked when she felt that she was loved by God.
I want to share some great quotes from a talk I read by Elder Uchtdorf.
“One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.”
"I pray that we will not wait until we are ready to die before we truly learn to live."
"We cannot take for granted one single day."
Don't take a single day for granted! This life is a gift! Don't wait to be happy. Just be happy now. I know that's easier said than done. But waiting for your new job, new car, marriage, or college, to be happy isn't worth it. Just be happy now. When you look back on your life, you're going to either be glad or wish that you would have just let yourself be happy. Just enjoy the ride!
Anyways, love you all! Have a great week!
