The Week of Learning....

I title it that this week because my Heavenly Father REALLY likes to humble me, in a good way. To be honest, the thing I learned the most this week is how many weaknesses I have. And for any normal person, that's pretty hard to admit, so this is gonna be a really honest email about who I am and the things I really learned this week. 

I am a perfectionist, I learned that mostly from dance, from always checking my lines and making sure I was on the right count in the right place at all times, and that can be good and bad. In missionary life, its not the best to be a perfectionist... haha. So Heavenly Father taught me this week, through many ways, that I dont need to be perfect. I just need to be learning how to become better. I'm so grateful for the atonement. 

This week we had an exchange (which means that us and another set of sisters switch places for the day to learn from each other) and so me and this other sister came back to my area for the exchange and i've only been here for three weeks so i dont know ANYTHING about the area still. And we have a mileage limitation of how far we can go so we have to make sure we arent using the car too much and we normally only go like 20 miles in a day and we just walk a lot. BUT THAT DAY I USED 71 MILES! That is way too much! So that was my weekend, it was pretty crazy!

We met an awesome family last night that is so prepared to recieve the gospel. And we have been teaching some awesome less actives. I love the family ward life, its different than the YSA life but its been good to me so far.

Well anyways. I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK. 
Have a fantabulous week! And change one thing this week to come closer to God.
Love, Sister Schoemig
