Sweet Sunday Moments....

 Dear world, there were some great things that happened today......

1. (and this one was my favorite...) When a speaker at Church gave a talk on faith, and mentioned in her talk a British equivalent NBA player who decided not to play games on Sunday, my mom leaned over to me after the meeting was over, and despite all the trials she is going through, told me that she is now newly committed to keeping the Sabbath day holy.  What a sweet moment to my heart! She said she will prepare beforehand by buying what she needs the day before.  You don't understand how much that means! :)

2.  At church, I got greeted by the Ward Mission leader, and he was excited to see me because he thought maybe I was new in the ward.  How friendly of him...and his co-chair was also there with him, as well as the sister missionaries.  What a friendly ward!  It really sweetened my day.   It is so good to see such faithful Saints all over the world. 

3.  Me and my dad had been trying to get ahold of my aunt for the last couple of days.  I finally sent her a text as a last resort, and she happened to see my text right as my dad decided it was too late to go.  :(  She's been struggling so much lately I thought maybe we could come by and visit and just be her friend.  My dad immediately decided to drive over to see her anyways, and it was a great visit.  It may have been a small thing, but I am so glad we got to see her!  My cousin was there, too.  What a treat.  And she laughed and joked with us the whole time.  I think it did lift her up, as when we were about to leave, she said "oh, I am sad, now my entertainment is gone." 

4.  A beautiful sunset.  Oh I am going to miss it here.

5. But, I do get to see my great friends in Provo tomorrow.  Hopefully I didn't drive everyone crazy with all my texts this week.  :)  Til then, see you soon, and remember that every day we can see the Lord's hand in lots of ways if we just stop and look.  He is in the details.  Try it, it really refreshes your thoughts and perspective!

I am going to miss these little missionary moments I've been having all week, hopefully I can still have them in Provo!
