It's not too good to be true. It's too good because it IS true!!



This is my email to President Hill this week. It pretty much captures my thoughts and feelings right now. GO AND DO WITH FAITH!!!! JUST BE HAPPY, EXCITED, AND GO CONQUER THE WORLD!!!

I´m honestly EXCITED for this week. Just EXCITED!!!! I´m learning a lot about what faith is lately. Faith is not listening to the voices of reason all around us and in our head. Faith is telling yourself that fear doesn´t exist. Faith is remembering who you were before your life, and being that same person now! My dad LOVES to solve problems and innovate solutions. He´s SO good, and I´ve always admired this in him. The thing that stands out to me most now, is what I´ve always heard him say whenever anyone questions the probability or possibility of the task he was taking on. His response has always been simple and direct, "Well, why not?" This is my new motto! Why not?! Why can´t we be great? Isn´t that what we´ve been sent here to be? Why can´t we baptize every week? If you´ve told us to do it, that means it´s not only possible, it´s EXPECTED! So why not?!?! When we have plans to reach our goals, the only thing that´s lacking is the doing and the Heavenly help. So DO and SEE the results! See them before they happen! Have faith, believe with everything you´ve got! When that little doubting voice tries to creep in, JOGA FORA [THROW IT AWAY]! 
It´s possible. That´s what I´m learning. It´s not easy because this is the work of the Savior, and His life wasn´t easy, but because His life wasn´t easy, and because he gave EVERYTHING, it´s possible!!!

Things here are lining up as you said they would. I need to not think that´s it´s "too good to be true" because it´s not. It´s too good because it IS true! We are working with some amazing people, and I´m learning SO MUCH from them and from Sister Bastos. My goal this week is to decide to be a different person than I was last week-in specific, with my contacts. I´ve learned a lot about HOW to make them now, and I can speak Portuguese SO much better than in he beginning, but I haven´t been able to lose the fear. So, I´ve decided that I´m just going to ignore it because it´s almost impossible to hear the Spirit when you´re scared out of your wits. So today and forward, I´m not the Sister Little that is afraid of what will happen if I open my mouth. Today and forward, I am an instrument in the Lord´s hand, and it´s His work that I´m doing, and when I give what I have, He makes it so much more. 

Thank you, as always, for your patience and dedication. Have a FANTASTIC week! The best week EVER!
Love you all so much! Keep being who the Lord knows you are!

Sister Little!!!
