Settling In

"I want to be a missionary now"...

No Georgia pics from this email (added some later) :(  So just a quick update from her:

 "The first Sunday in church I was asked,"do you play the piano?" Of course, I happily responded yes, and was then asked to sub in Primary the following week. Yesterday was the day and I LOVED it. Even though I was only in there for one day, I loved being with the kids and playing songs that I cherish, but have not heard for a while."

"The best is meeting the members and actually teaching." 

"As I have been here, I have realized how prepared I am, but also how unprepared I am. Heavenly Father really knows how to work with me. He compliments me, and then shows me what I need to do to improve and become who He needs me to be." (Sound like a good recipe for parenting??...:)
 "It has rained the past couple of days so I got to wear my rainboots! but afterwards, it was soooo hot! The rain was crazy though! It really pounded down and I LOVED it! If I weren't in a skirt, I would have totally danced in it and enjoyed getting drenched!  There are so many trees! It is hard to find our way around because of it, but it is gorgeous!" (Could it be any better for a girl who had her start in Oregon!)
 
Dancing in the rain :)


"I have loved my personal study lately. I am focusing on the Christlike attribute of humility which has been a great quality to develop early in my mission. I learned today that saying something is too hard is an evidence of pride in yourself because you are relying on your own abilities rather than God. So in a way, you're right when you say that, because alone, it is too hard to do. However, with God, we can do all that he asks and commands us to do."
