Reality Check

31 days left to go...
I wonder what it'll be like...
Today's hot and then cool breezy weather reminded me of Linda Vista in Oaxaca. And with that came the unease and discomfort of being in a new place, completely out of my element. I remember the difficulties of staying energized, of loving everyone at all times, of not feeling suffocated without my own space. Today was a reminder that missions is hard. We remember all the beautiful memories, the hilarious stories, and gloss over the self-discipline, the doubts, the tiredness. But the reality is is it's difficult. I want to be sober-minded, but do not want to lack the giant faith, the great excitement, the overflowing joy.
Thank goodness for 31 more days...

Beautiful Linda Vista with the greatest tamales.
