this is real life, people.

dear people...
do you want to be happy? be obedient. live the gospel. it is as simple as that. bad news, but in the end, the world and money and people around you aren't going to bring you any sort of satisfaction. the world does not care about you. your family cares about you. god cares about you. wake up and smell the roses. this life has a much greater purpose than you realize.
it doesn't feel like p-day. actually it doesn't even feel like the mission. probably because we went an helped clean up a bunch of trash from the future home of a newly wed couple moving into our ward. we found 2 dead rats. i picked one up. i thought, mom would appreciate this moment, but unfortunately i didn't have my camera. but if felt good to do some manual labor. i feel nice and refreshed for this week.
maria came to church yesterday and bawled through the entire thing. she says that's why she doesn't like coming, cause she just feels the spirit and just cries. but i was happy to see her there.
this week has been a bit of a rollercoaster and i'm really tired, but i learned a lot and am very content because i know i am leaving in 3 weeks and things have changed a bit in this ward. the bishop loves us now, the ward is much more active in mission work. therefore, i am happy.
i hope you are all happy too. and if your not, go ask your next door neighbor if they need help with something. then you'll be happy. i love you all infinitely.
love,
kelli jean, hruss.
peace+love
