It's really funny how much can happen in a week...
This week was... interesting (aren't they all, though?)
I swear this whole week I've been composing and recomposing this letter that I'd be writing today.
And now I'm sitting here in this library... trying to find words.
Highs and lows this week were.... high and low.
Both kind of weigh on me, where I feel that they're important things....
but they feel.. kinda not worth writing out.
How about this: what I've learned this week.

Let's start there.
-This week I have learned that I am not bulletproof.
-I have learned that it's "okay not to be okay."

 Ether 12:27
27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give‍ unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace‍ is sufficient for all men that humble‍ themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak‍ things become strong unto them.

 -I've learned that things need to get done, whether or not you feel you can do it.
So you do it. And it gets done. And you feel silly after. But THAT is potential realized.
-That's been a blessing in and of itself.
-I've learned that it's totally possible to have your heart smashed and still smile.
-I've Relearned just how loved I am.
-I've realized how much I care about the wards I've served in.
-I have felt the Spirit testify to my heart of the Plan of Salvation.
-I've been ministered to by angels on earth. People placed in my life to help heal. Crazy, right?
-I remembered just how much I love cotton candy.
-I've received hugs that I needed
-I had the opportunity to serve and minister to the aching hearts of those I love.
-I learned from Sister Hardy on exchanges. SO much.
-I talked. A lot. Don't know if this is a good or a bad thing... but I did.
-I've identified my Achilles heel as a missionary, and have taken active steps to strengthen this.
-I learned to make a list that's supposed to be about 1 thing, but ended up being about... not one things. Organization, Sister Bush c'mon haha!
 I'll talk to you next week okay?

Love you all
 xo, Sister Bush
