May 12, 2015 Aloha :)

Aloha family! 

Well.... sorry I don't have too much time today! But my highlight of the week was today! This morning we got to go to the BYU-H devotional, where Elder Neilson and Oaks spoke. They just announced they are changing the university president, that's why they were both here. Anyway, they both gave awesome talks about going forth with faith. Faith is definitely something I have to come to understand better on my mission... especially through seeing the faithful examples of others. The first thing that comes to mind is all those married students going to BYUH who I have come to know and love! Most of them are from foreign countries... and they leave their homes and families to come to get an education here, and then of course they get married, and then have kids, all while still in school and far from home with pretty much no money. Even though I haven't been through that, I have definitely felt how faith carries me... "The gospel is not weight, it is wings." :) 

I know this is the true church of God, and the doctrines of it are truly from Christ! It is what carries us and allows us to become something greater than we could on our own. 

Sorry that's all I have time for... but I LOVE you all lots!!!
