         Ah—the week-end is here and as always we welcome a change in our routine.  We talked tonight about how we will adjust to being home in a few weeks where we do not have a set routine and where we will have lots of space to get lost in.  A blessing of our mission has been finding out that we can live happily together 24/7 in a small confined space doing the same things over and over again.  We know each other better, have become better friends, and have loved having our “work” day be on common ground sharing in the same experiences with the same people.  All of these things will most certainly bless us in the future.

         Suggestion number ten follows:

10. Repent daily

Repentance has some negative connotations, but daily repentance helps disciples of Christ become closer to the Savior.

“Because the Atonement of Jesus Christ is very practical, you should apply it generously 24/7, for it never runs out,” Elder Jörg Klebingat said. “Embrace the Atonement of Jesus Christ and repentance as things that are to be welcomed and applied daily according to the Great Physician’s orders. Establish an attitude of ongoing, happy, joyful repentance by making it your lifestyle of choice. … Keeping your eyes on the Savior, care more about what He thinks of you, and let the consequences follow.”

         Have a beautiful Sabbath Day and may we all count our blessings.
