Goals, Goals, and more goals!

So as I walked up the hill this morning I was thinking to myself I can do this I can do this! This last week has been a good but trying week. I feel like Satan was really pushing me this last week. There were quite a few days where I said to myself "Why am I doing this" "This goal is so unrealistic" "There is no way I can keep doing this"

I pushed through it. Without the help of the Lord I don't know where I would be. I picked up my phone during sacrament meeting yesterday and decided to read a conference talk and it so happens to be the talk by Paul E. Koeliker and the thing that stood out to me was this: "I love being with the full-time missionaries. They are full of faith, hope, and genuine charity. Their missionary experience is like a minilife packaged in 18 to 24 months. They arrive as spiritual infants with a serious appetite to learn, and they leave as mature adults, seemingly ready to conquer any and all challenges placed before them. I also love the devoted senior missionaries, who are full of patience, wisdom, and calm assurance. They bring a gift of stability and love to the youthful energy that surrounds them. Together the young missionaries and the senior couples are a powerful, persevering force for good, which is having a profound effect on their lives and upon those who are touched by their service."    


This is the reason I want to serve a mission. He continues to talk about missionary work and it makes me feel so much better to know this is why im doing all this hard work. :) As I continued my walk I was talking to Melanie and was telling her my goal is to walk to the top of Unity pass and down by the end of the month. If I set little goals I will be able to achieve the bigger goal at the end. So we set up a plan to do just that. 


So aside from the emotional week I have had it was a pretty good week. I did really good with the walking and good with the diet. So have a happy Monday everyone and remember that with the help of the Lord all things are obtainable!
