Patience is a Virtue! :)

So my dear sweet Mission President's wife, Sister Hacking, used to always remind us of this wonderful quote and lately I've really needed to remember this!  This is obviously something that I'm still working on since I have to be reminded of this often but I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father is so patient with us.  I wish I could say that moving to Wyoming has been easy and we just fell in love with everything about being here and the new culture we're learning about but to be honest it's been one of the hardest tests I've had in my life.  We have received numerous blessings since being here but it still doesn't change the fact that it's hard not being close to the people you love when you're in such a draining situation.  I should probably say that it's hard for ME because Raymond's always saying that all he needs is me! :) He's such a sweet husband.  But I've really been working on counting my blessings and I know that we we're meant to be here for many reasons.  I'm sure number one is so we could grow together as a couple and that part I love about us being here.  Being here is a totally different environment than I've ever been in and I've lived in a lot of new places.  But I'm learning to take one day at a time, I'm so grateful for Raymond and all the support he gives me! Thinking of all my blessings has really helped me put things into perspective and realize how much Heavenly Father truly is in our lives.  Even those little things like Spring finally coming and seeing beautiful flowers, simple but what a testimony of the love He has for us.  I have so much to be thankful for and I hope that this will someday be my biggest strength and I can look back at our time here in Fort Washakie, Wy being some of our greatest days of our lives!
