#13 Why Mondays are the BEST!

Most people hate Mondays because: they mark the end of the weekend, it's the beginning of the work and school week, they seem to be the longest day of the week, and many other reasons. I used to cry every Sunday night just thinking about how tomorrow was the beginning of another stress-filled and busy week--- while I was in High School I was ALWAYS busy whether it was due to a play, concert, or AP homework I would spend more time at school than I would at home. Not much has changed in college with regards to business or stress levels, but one this has brought a new light to Mondays.

I happen to love Mondays now! Why you may ask? Well, the answer is very clear--- Missionary Emails! Most of my very best friends are servants of the Lord and they are literally all over I have friends in Africa, Russia, Honduras, Norway, Germany, Paris, Mexico, Japan, and all over the States. When Monday rolls around I get so excited to hear how they're doing and to be uplifted by their inspiring words and motivation with my mission progress. There is nothing more in my life right now that I want to do than to serve the Lord by going on a full time mission. I've started my papers and I'm on my way which is so exciting, but I've also discovered just how hard the adversary works on those who are striving to live righteously and I've had many hard times because of it but I'm so grateful for friends who know what it's like and who encourage me to continue on! The Lord is perfect and His love is perfect; He has a plan for His children and that's perfect as well. I love this gospel with my entire soul and that may sound cliche but it's very true for me--- this gospel has given me everything and I will give it my everything for the rest of my life! 

These are just some of my missionaries that bring me joy :)
