Today at Church I learnt about fasting and also about how the gospel is a shelter for us. A phrase in the fasting lesson really changed my perspective of fasting (which I dislike, with a passion, but need to learn to love!) went something like this, "Would you give up two meals a month, so that someone else could eat?" and the answer is of course YES! I would, without a doubt, so why do I find it so hard to fast? With this new perspective I am going to try and fast next fast and testimony Sunday, with a purpose! But I think that this purpose needs to be decided by us as a family, even if we all have our own individual purposes, I just know that it will go better if all of us are together in this.

For my personal progress, I am working on my Faith 10 hour project, which means I am aiming to teach the children all 13 articles of faith in time for Nathan's baptism (27/12/2014). I am also learning about what it means to be a peacemaker...yeah, I need that!
