I feel happy

I love my companion.

I think I help keep her positive. Like one day, she was really stressed cuz no one was home that day and an investigator dropped us when we showed up to their house. They said they weren't interested any longer. So, as we were walking a neighborhood later, I started saying "happy!" To everyone we passed, just as I had done in the MTC. That made her laugh so much. She loved it, and people were kind of confused, but a good confused I think . . . . More of "this is strange, why is this nice stranger waving at me and yelling 'happy' at me?" But, I could tell that it was making her day, and brighting everyone's  spirits and I loved it. It was a fabulous day because we spread happiness and laughter to people that day. So now, whenever she tries to tell people that we've had a rough day or something, I yell (playfully) "today's not a rough day!!! Today was a fantastic day!!! I'm just too excited to even be on my mission, to even care if we don't teach anyone anything specific that day. We smiled at people, and that was good because maybe they felt the spirit through our smiles. I always pray that they do. But seriously, this is the Lord's work, there are no bad days here!

God grants us every single day of our mission, and even our lives, so no day can be bad, or rough, because every single day is a gift from God! And, I'm too happy and excited to be on my mission at all, to even let her say that any days are bad! :P

We have a companionship motto - "Don't feel nervous, feel the spirit!" Because one morning when we were leaving to start our day, my companion said, "I feel nervous. . ." So, I whizzed right around and yelled (playfully) "don't feel nervous, feel the spirit!" So now it is our motto. And, sometimes I joke with her whenever she says "I feel. . .", no matter what mood, I always say, "don't feel-----, feel the spirit.. .  Even if she says I feel happy . . . Hahahaha
