I didn't monitor my time wisely this week: Thus the really short update.
It's November. In case anyone missed that Memo.

I AM SOOOOO GRATEFUL for Daylight savings.
It seriously changed my life on Sunday. I had an extra hour of sleep. It was great.

This week we drove to Portsmouth for a Sisters Conference. It was fun. President Baker taught the difference between being light-hearted and light-minded. And he had me laughing so hard that I cried. It was great.
I'm grateful for laughter.
I'm also focusing on 2 things this month that I know will make a difference not only in my mission, but in my life. Patience, and Prayer.
I just barely realized how interconnected those two words are.
I thought I was patient, but then I came on a mission and it was all tried, then it ran out. So I'm restoring my reserves of patience.
I thought I'd let you know. ;)
The leaves are finally starting to change color, and it is beautiful! I like it!
I'm grateful for seasons. (And that cold here only lasts from Nov-Mar.)
I'm grateful that I have a companion. Literally, and spiritually with the Holy Ghost.

Missionary work would be devastatingly hard if I had to do it all my myself.
Also, I'm grateful that right now I feel like I have enough stamina to do this for 11 more months.
Can you believe that?
I know I say it every week, but it really blows my mind!
These 18 months are a speck in eternity, and it determines so much.
Wow.
I wish I had time for more, but most of all I'm grateful for you.
You are my most treasured everybody!
Love Forever,
Sister Amber Garvin
