First off, I'm sure a lot of you know this, but I'm an uncle now!! I have been dubbed Uncle Colton for forever and to be honest it makes me feel SUPER happy (and also kinda old lol). I'm a little sad that I won't actually be able to hold little baby Hudson for a solid 20 or so months, but this work is worth the wait!
My week was FULL of walking. I walked about 50 km in 48 hours! My feet don't feel very great but all is well haha, my legs are much stronger because of it.
Something funny that happened this week wasn't too funny for me but for you guys it might be. So I do not know what happened, but as I have washed two pairs of pants they have slowly turned pinkish purple until now they are too discolored to wear (see attached picture). The funny part is I didn't notice for a while so I've been walking the streets of Uberaba with pink pants lol.
To end, I want to share a scripture I found this week. It is Alma 34:41, ''...have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions.'' God does not want us to be discouraged, but He does want us to grow. So what does He do? He has us bear affliction in order to become more like Him, and reveals His perfect plan to us to give us hope and a goal to work towards. Yes, we may be in a dark tunnel, but God has given us a light at the end (and also showed that it's not a train haha). I love the plan that God has given us, and I also love teaching others about it!
