Endure

So I didn't get my Visa. I really don't know what to say other than i'm barely holding back tears. All I want and have been praying for for the past month is to go serve the Lord in Norway. I have so much love for the country, the people, and the work to be done there. This has been such a trial for me and I will have to endure waiting in Montana a little longer. I really am doing my best here in Montana and taking so much out of it, but I know I belong in Norway. I'm not sure whats happening but I'm super worried. The two I came here with are leaving to Norway tomorrow. I'm super excited for them and i'd be lying if I didn't say I was jealous. Norway's been in my thoughts and prayers since November 2011. Sorry for whining but there's just so many emotions right now.

Heavenly Father has a specific purpose for me in Montana and its pretty obvious. I'll have to keep doing what i'm supposed to and hope everything works out. I know they will but its so hard. I've always been a patient person but this is killing me. I will never quit though. I will keep going and doing what the Lord commands of me. No matter how tough it may be, apparently He trusts that I can handle it. 

General Conference was awesome though and I'll definitely be reviewing my notes for some encouragement. Thanks for being so awesome! I love you all so much and think about you guys everyday. The Church is true. Following the Commandments are infinitely important. I see witnesses of it every single day.

Love,
