I can't believe it's July! The time is passing so fast! But I am kinda sad. . . summer I think will be my hardest time to pass through on the mission. I love summers in Utah! Oh how I would give anything to be in DRY heat, heat. ha ha ha. We are going into the hottest time of the year here. And oh boy its hot. One day it was hot. And my legs killed from soccer and I was sick. I just wanted to go home and sleep, but I knew I couldn't. So I thought I´ll just say a prayer because I know my Father in Heaven will bless me with strength and with joy in the day. . . ya know. So I started to pray in the street. Then the song, "Count your many blessings" popped into my head. I just thought this is my answer, to be happy today. I´ll think of all my wonderful blessings, and my bad day will be wonderful. So I started thinking of blessings that could make up for the negitive spots in my day. And some of these are cheezy, but not all of them. First it was hot. So I thought of all the homeless people, who spend winter freezing in the street, and how they would love to spend a day in Brazil. I was sick, but I could have been worse. My legs hurt and I was wishing I could stop walking and go sleep. This is the part where I started crying. I thought of my wonderful friend, Bishop Stoker, and how he would do anything to be walking super fast on a mission. I spent the day thinking of everything I have been blessed with in my life: family, friends, a home, a wonderful ward, everything! Wow! My bad day was my favorite day this week!
