Never Give Up

☼ Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

☼ If you can't accept me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best.

I think I fell in love with this song..☼

Missionary Week ☼



This week for the 5th ward in the West Bountiful Stake got the chance to have missionary week. For many years I have had friends who say they are having missionary week. They say they wake up at 5:30 in the morning, and they also get to dress up everyday. Our missionary week turned out a little different then most wards do it. We got a mission call that displayed our companion or companions and the place we get to serve in (or the people in our ward we are called to serve.) I have had the experience this week to serve with Kaylee White and Carlie Dejong and we serve in the Russ and Zetha Parker mission. I have learned to grow them even more. Kaylee and Carlie and I have been a good team and we may not be the closest of friends, but this week I have learned more about them closely and I have learned the true work of service from within them. Visiting Zetha really helped this week. Zetha is one magnificent women and her light shines so strong within her home. She is a knowledgable women of the spirit and of the gospel and she is also my next door neighbor! It's just a wonderful journey to serve and as you serve, you are served as well. I have felt the impression of the spirit and I know serving others is the service to your Lord.

I am truly happy right now.

Someday, maybe, I will go on a full-time LDS mission.

But Today-I can be one.

Through thick and thin: I can change myself and change others for good.

    That is so cool that you guys did missionary week!! This week I've felt like a missionary too!! People ask me a lot of questions about the church and after I tell them about the things I can't do and that it's my choice to follow the rules they have so much respect for me. :) Keep it up Tei Tei :D
