Crazy Week

This past week has been a little insane but I was able to help out alot. I have helped some friends move, take care of some cats, and took a friend to the dentist. It felt so good to help out friends and that they know I would do anything to help. The best thing I had happen was receiving my second calling. A couple weeks ago I was asked if I would accept a calling to serve on the missionary committee. Today I was officially called and sustained. I'm very excited to help out inactive as well as nonmember get excited about the gospel. I know that I have been called to serve as a ward missionary for a reason. Along with this I have still been strong with the Book of Mormon and Way to Be. Today I read about being positive. There was a phrase that struck me. On page 84 it asks who wants to be depressed and feel negative. "Optimism, on the other hand, and looking on the bright side, refreshes everyone." Being optimistic does refresh a person and everyone around you. You have energy and it is contagious. Being pessimistic brings fear and depression which is the opposite of Heavenly Father's plan of happiness. I think it is amazing how in the worst of times there are still people who are positive and have faith things will be better. I hope I can be an optimistic person and help lift those around me that may be struggling. Today I recieved a really nice compliment. Someone told me that they love how smiley I am. I have been complimented on my smile and I know I need to learn to see that. Smile, be positive, and remember you are awesome! :D
