CARNAVAL

This week has been a little different, because our P-day is today (Wednesday) instead of on Monday like usual! It was Carnaval here in Argentina on Monday and Tuesday, and almost everyone had work off! This meant that there would be lots of families spending time together at home, so my Mission President decided to experiment by changing our P-day so that we could take advantage of everyone being at home. It was a great experience, we got to contact so many references and visit many families! I´m sure you´re all wondering how the Carnaval was, but I wouldn´t know :) we stayed clear! But we heard the music and saw the fireworks during the evening, it was definitely a fiesta!

I´ve been focusing on gratitude a lot this week and I found this quote by President Uchtdorf, "Gratitude to our Father in Heaven broadens our perception and clears our vision. It inspires humility and fosters empathy toward our fellowmen and all of God´s creations. Gratitude is a catalyst to all Christlike attributes! A thankful heart is the parent of all virtues."
Isn´t that a golden quote?! Our purpose of coming to the Earth is to obtain a body, gain experience, and prepare ourselves to live with God again one day. An important part of praparing ourselves to meet God is to try to become more Christlike, and we can do that by having a thankful heart! Always remember to give thanks and to count your blessings :) it can make ALL the difference!

Love you all, stay safe :) have a great week!!
Con mucho amor, Hermana Orgill

I finally got the picture of my entire zone at the temple, so here it is :)
