What a beautiful time of the year, blossoms are out and it is the perfect temperature for short sleeves and some light shoes! The Sun is shining with some humidity, what a beautiful Easter it was!
This week was a week of, "wow you've been here for 9 months and you have 9 months left" realizations! What a crazy realization that what you have just experienced for 9 months you are doing that amount of time again.... I don't know if that even seems long or not, looking in the past it seems as if I've been here for a month, looking forward it seems like I have 3 months left... like how the MTC was... a day felt like a week and a week feels like a day! Sometimes you don't even realize where you are or where you've been. It just seems like this apartment is all you have ever known and the people you talk to are the only people you ever know! Then I look back at the last area I was in and it seemed like a year ago since I've been there... what a strange world I live in! hahah

It has really been a reflective Easter week this year! Amount of miracles and tender mercies and Joy this area brings is amazing and is worth everything to me!!
"Deep beneath the surface
Of this cold and calloused heart
Is a soul that’s filled with goodness
Searching for a brand new start
And I’ve left behind the old me
The things I did before
And I’m headed towards the new me
As my bare feet touch the floor
And like healing water on my skin
Rushing rivers crashing in
Like a child I’m born again
To start a brand new life
And I feel the sunlight shining down
I’m walking on holy ground
My grateful spirit crying out
Oh, I believe
I was lost but now I’m found and I can see
’Cause I’m clean
We know nobody’s perfect
Though at times we may pretend
But through all of our failures
We know that’s not the end
There’s something called forgiveness
No matter what we’ve done
And when I take the bread and water
That familiar feeling comes
And like healing water on my skin
Rushing rivers crashing in
Like a child I’m born again
To start a brand new life
And I feel the sunlight shining down
I’m walking on holy ground
My grateful spirit crying out
Oh, I believe
I was lost but now I’m found and I can see
’Cause I’m clean"
"Healing water" from the lds youth music!
I know the Jesus Christ is our healing water! And I am continually trying to use that healing water the best that I can in my life so that I can helps others do the same!
Love you! Have a great week!
Always love,
Sister Chaffin
