Everything's better with butter

Okay, so I don't really believe that everything is better with butter, I just felt like saying that. I am feeling better though. I mean I don't have an, I AM HEALED, kind of feeling, but I feel good. The past week and a half or so has been a bit difficult, but I'm on the rise again. :) Really what has helped me feel a bit better is that I taught a lesson tonight, I am a Branch Missionary, and planning and teaching with my Companion often helps me to put things into perspective. My companion is really amazing- she's helped me out in so many ways; she has this quiet strength, and amazing love for everyone, and an awesome sense of humor! So she knows how to help give me support, and to feel important and make me laugh, and help me to see things in a more positive way; she is a very dear friend. Also the sister we have been teaching is amazing, every time I talk to her I feel like she teaches me- and it's not in a lecture kind of way, she just shares the things she's going through and what she's learned- she also is hilarious, and helps to brighten my day when I talk to her. We're supposed to teach her, yet she seems to always "turn on the light" for me, so I can understand things a little better. Anyway after going over and teaching her I feel renewed. Part of that comes also from the fact that I'm not thinking of myself when I go to teach- Service really is a way to forget yourself and to heal - the Lord does help you heal while you're focused on someone else. I thought I should write this post, so that my last post wouldn't be this sad depressing one. :D I just feel like I've been given more strength to face my trials, which haven't gone away, but don't seem so overwhelming.
