Sounds like you had kinda a stinky one, because you were sick, but I´m glad you got lots of candy. I didn´t :/ But that´s mostly becuase here they don´t really celebrate Halloween. I can´t believe it´s snowed already! Here it doesn´t snow, it rains. So unless I get moved before Christmas to Granada, I´m in for a brown Christmas instead of a white one. But it´s all good. I just like Christmas! Speaking of, I would love another money card. You can make it for whatever price. The big thing I want to buy is a Spanish suit. I´m going to be buying it cheap, so it should be from 40€ to 70€. But that´s all. Not sure what else I want, I´m pretty content :) Maybe some good socks, mine are kinda wholly :/ Or some nice kahki or light gray slacks (they are now allowed, see dress and grooming standards in lds.org :) ). But really I can´t think of anything else that I want or need. Just be creative :) Some nice piano music is also always appreciated.
So this week went well. It was a very average week and I´m okay with that. Sometimes I feel like we do the same thing every day (maybe it´s because we do) but you always have a new experience. This week I´ve really just been able to feel a lot of ups and downs and very stressed out. But I´ve learned a lot of patience, or better said, I´m learning a lot of patience. It´s seems that at times the Lord likes to hold things back to throw everything at us at once. That´s kinda how I´m feeling right now. But I know that the Lord has a plan for me, for all of us really. And I know without a doubt, that he loves us, and that no matter what happens, it will be for our benefit. The Lord doesn´t want to see us suffer, but even more than him not wanting to see us suffer he wants to see us grow. And he knows, just as well as we do, that growing doesn´t come from sitting in still waters. We have to have some movement to get us where we need to go. Sometimes there are rapids, but what we have to remember is that no matter what the Lords not going to let us drown. We might tip and fall out but, like one of my favorite quotes says, our lifeguard walks on water, he´ll save us, as long as we take his hand. I love you all so much. You have helped me so much. Through your examples and all you do. Have a wonderful week and keep me updated with everything. Stay strong!
