Missionary work has a funny way of making life better. Yáll should try it some time. Last week I asked my companion for a blessing, and we just put ourselves to work, and life has been great.
It is so true that when we carry the burdens of others, we forget about our own. My favorite scripture says it all, I believe it is the last three verses in Matthew 11. There are so many sad people in the world, but there is no secret to happiness: it's just putting others first and serving them.
¡love you!
