Opposition

I know I just posted yesterday, but I forgot one thing. This all on a more serious note. I think I've written before about the challenges of "pre-mission", but it's just become more and more evident to me that Satan does not want me to go on a mission. I never really thought that Satan would try to get at someone physically when he didn't want them to do something... just spiritually, but I've been proven wrong. The most bizarre things just seem to keep on happening.

I was so excited to do my taxes and to get my tax return, and it turned out that I actually owed on my taxes. So, instead of getting money I gave money. Then, my camera randomly broke today, and not to mention I had to replace my windshield due to a crack that I got in it a month or two ago. The most bizarre thing of all though happened this last Sunday. I was going down the stairs on my way to my cousin's baby blessing and my heal caught on the edge of the stair and my foot twisted and I ended up at the bottom of the stairs. I'm so grateful to all of my wonderful friends that were there to help me though. One thing I have noticed is that the tougher things seem to get or the harder Satan is working on me, the more I am blessed as I try to stay close to the Spirit. I've felt such an overwhelming gratitude for my friends that have supported and been there for me through everything since I've made the decision to serve a mission. They've been there for me through everything! Anyway, here's some pictures of my beautiful ankle. Isn't it

pretty? =)
