Week 2: A Prayer of Faith

Image
By
Buenos Noches everyone! 
This second week has been just as crazy as the first. We had several lessons and a ton of people to try and contact. A lot of those were memorable and super fun, but my favorite thing that happened this week was Zone Conference. When Sister Kempe told me that I would be uplifted, she seriously meant it. My notebook got six more pages full of things that inspired me to be better and do better. 

 One of those things I really learned a lot about was saying prayers of faith. A prayer of faith combines a lot of things, specific language, expressing gratitude, asking for guidance, praying for people specifically (family, friends, leaders, non-members, etc), praying to know where to go, what to do, and what to say, praying to overcome temptation, having a review with Heavenly Father about your day the plans for the next day, pray for understanding when you read the scriptures, and most of all believe that God will answer your prayers. Now that is a lot of things to do in one prayer. 

But Zone Conference was on Friday. Its Monday now and I've seen such a huge difference a vocal prayer of faith makes when I take 5-10 minutes out of my day each night. As I've taught and as I've been out in the community, things tend to fall into place. I was teaching a lady who I was not looking forward to teach, because of her teaching history, and I had one of the most amazing experiences because of that prayer I said the night before asking God for help and strength. The rest of the week was just as good and full of valuable learning that even in the short two weeks I've been out in the field has added on to the 20 years of learning I have already acquired (and on to the 3 weeks at the MTC). 

I love being out here on a mission. It's been wonderful and full of learning experiences that have made me not only a better missionary, but a better person in general. Well, I'm off to continue to be on the Lord's errand! Love you all!

A New Kind of "IM" ing : Intimacy, Money, and Media

By
 If you ask a child what an IM is, they can usually tell you. Instant messages are part of a culture where things come immediately. Kids may be learning that intimacy happens in a one-hour show, money can be expected to be made without hard work and sacrifice, and media is accessible and a massive part of daily living. The changes in the next generation and their access and understanding call for vigilant and effortful parenting. Kids will get messages and maybe the messages parents don't want. Let's talk about ways parents can talk to their children about the topics of media, money, and intimacy. Let's talk about media.       With all the conveniences of connecting to others quickly, interactive games, and new technologies, there is a fast-growing culture lacking personal connection, becoming game obsessed, and technology invading daily life. While many enjoy the conveniences that technology brings, the media is pervasive, and things that even five years ago we...

Grit, Growth, and Praise

By
 Have you ever heard of the word "grit"? I'm not talking about gritty stuff at the bottom of a tub, nor am I referencing a kind of cornmeal porridge from a bowl. Nope, this is the kind of stuff that gets one through a task when the going gets tough or there is a need for extra effort and perseverance. As parents, we often need grit to get us through the finish line of raising our kids, but this trait can be valuable to your children as they learn from failures and grow. Grit also helps children work on goals and stick to them. The applications are endless. Psychologists have studied this in children. Intensity is different than grit. Dr. Angela Duckworth, author and psychologist, defines grit this way: You may recognize how grit has helped you as a parent. Maybe you even see it in your children already. Grit and a growth mindset go hand in hand. This graphic shows a visual of the comparison of fixed vs. growth mindset.  Learning about mindset dispels ideas that children/a...
