Sister McGill took us to the Richmond
Museum of Fine Arts today! As you can imagine, I LOVED it! It was the
best art museum I've ever been to. There were Kandinskis, Reniors,
Monets, and a bunch of other awesome things!! Happy mimi :)
On Tuesday we vonlunteered at an assisted living
center. WE played bingo with elderly people, and it was way fun.
Virginia, the woman I was playing with, fell asleep randomly and then
started waiving her arms around with her eyes closed. I got all panicked
and thought, "Oh shoot! What if she dies?!" (She didn't.) Other than
that moment it was great! Just before going I read Pres Uchtdorfs talk
on gratitude. (It was a rough week as far as homesickness goes for me..)
I like how he says gratitude does not necessarily mean you are pleased
with your circumstances, but that you are happy and grateful IN your
circumstances. A landy at bingo mentioned something to me about not
being able to remember enything, then said, "But I could loose a lot
worse things than my memory! I have my hearing, AND I have this
beautiful wheelchair to move around in! So The way I see it, I'm as
lucky as a person can be." :) So sweet. That really struck me because
there are a lot of people who have it a lot easier than she does, myself
included. Yet she chose to be happy and grateful in the moment.
I don't have a lot to update you on because this
week was really hard and slow. But I have many things to be grateful
for. I'm learning patience one cancelled appointment at a time. ;)
Love you all lots. Sending lots of prayers your way! Please pray together as a family. :)
Love,
Sister Miller
