change

I am laying in bed thinking of how the day went. Sundays used to be my favorie day of the week. It has always been the day of the week I look forward to the most. As a child we would come home and eat lunch and take a nap, maybe watch some Disney movies and have dinner. All done as a family. We were able to talk about what happened at church and tell each other about all we learned. Then as I got older, we would replace naps with feeding the missionaries (they had to stay at church for BOTH wards that met in our building and didn't have enough time to go home and eat) and then we would sit and talk as a family, or maybe take a drive down to the ocean. NOW as a married adult living in a state where I have NO family and am in a "military" ward, people come and go quite often. I can hardly remember anyones name and it seems people can on vaguely recall our name but they KNOW they have seen us before. I think people have thought peter was deployed already because we missed church for a few sundays. I miss having visiting teachers and home teachers that are on a regular schedule. I also realize that I myself need to be better about that as well.

If we are going to make it through this deployment, we are going to have to rely on the Lord more that either of us have ever had to before. It seems scary now that I am thinking about it, but I trust in my heavenly father and know that he has both of our best interest in mind. Everything happens for a reason and it is all a part of his great and wonderful plan for our eternal salvation.

I'm going to bed now. When I rise, it will be in a new day and I will have the will and power to continue and embrace the challenges that I KNOW are coming for us.
