I found out something really cool though. We went to help Hermana W. to pack, and she had the painting Reflections by Carol P Harding. I don´t know if you know the story, but she was trying to paint this lily pad and water scene, but couldn't quite get the water right. So she kind of smudged it up and walked away. But when she came back, she realize what the smudge had turned in to. It caught her off guard, and she hid the painting for a while. And then later she brought it out and showed it to one of her daughters, who saw the same thing. This artist is Hermana W.´s grandmother. Its really a very cool story, but take a look at the image yourself and see what you can see.
How often do we not realize what is right in front of us? I´ve been trying to take the time a bit more this week to count my blessings, and realized how very, very much I have. The gospel really does make a difference in our lives. Having an eternal perspective really is mind blowing sometimes. People always react interestingly when they find out we serve for a year and a half. But really, a year and a half of my eternity is so very little to give. Sometimes we really do need to wake up and do something more!
