¡Hola Hola Y'all!
How is everyone this week? So good I hope :) Things here in Bontia Park are bonita for sure. Hermana Romney and I have been keeping up with our bucket list, and we talked to 192 people this week! And we found the cutest two moms that really wanted to learn more, so I'm super excited about that.
Not a super ton happened this week though honestly. Tony is just a serious rock star and he's doing so well. This week we're going to a family history library with him and I'm so pumped :) Other than that though everyone in the branch is super sad Hermana Romney is leaving bc she's the one that actually knows Spanish hahah but it's all good.
Oh but we did have the idea to make a little gratitude tree this weekend, and we went to downtown Brea and just asked people to add little leaves for things they're grateful for. It was so cute and so fun, and it reminded me a lot of my sweet Grammy bc she always has her little gratitude tree for Thanksgiving :) I was honestly kind of surprised though at how some people were kind of stumped about what they were thankful for. But I guess there really are just so many things it's hard to pick just one!
One thing that I'm SUPER grateful for, which I'm sure you all know by now, is the Book of Mormon! I was reading in it the other day, and there is a scripture in Moroni that tells us that everyone has the "Spirit of Christ" in them. Everyone can know right from wrong and everyone can feel the goodness of Jesus Christ and our loving Heavenly Father! This "Spirit of Christ" is what invites us all to do good and to serve those around us, and it's just starting to be the season where I think everyone feels that a little more strongly. There's also a promise in the Book of Mormon in Mosiah 4 that we will have happier lives as we serve others and forget about ourselves! There's a quote that I absolutely love that's from Thomas S Monson, and it says that we don't find happy lives, we make them, and I know that by serving and truly loving those around us, reading the Book of Mormon and the Bible, and being grateful to God in all things, we can make our lives so happy!
I'm so grateful for all of y'all and for the happiness that each of you bring me! I would love to hear what y'all are grateful for too, so let me know!!
Con Amor,
Hermana Brayton :)
