"A little unsteady"

I'm having a hard time coming up with much for my letter this week. The past couple weeks have been rough haha, and I feel like I'm still trying to find my footing. Don't worry all is well, but life just happens sometimes, and that's ok!

This week we had a few different sisters come stay with us because they're actually going to their original countries, which is super exciting for them. Not gonna lie, it was a little tough for me. I have a hard time with new people sometimes, and I just had an off week. But that's life, right?! I'm learning a lot of valuable lessons for my future, that's for sure. Something that has been on my mind a lot this week has been our thoughts and the power they have. Will we let God take up our thoughts, or will we let Satan? I realize that too often I let Satan in. "You aren't good enough. You can't do this. You should be this or you should be that." And can I just say, I'm sick of it! But this week a wise person in my life told me that power comes from knowing where our thoughts come from. If we have a thought that is harsh or demeaning or belittling, it's from Satan. The sooner we recognize this, the more easily we can get rid of the thought. The same goes for thoughts from God. The thoughts he gives us are good. They are full of love, they cheer us on, they tell us to keep going, even when it's hard. The sooner we realize what thoughts come from God, the more easily we can hold onto them. We want those thoughts to stay with us, because only with those thoughts can we truly stand up to Satan and recognize our full potential and divine worth. On my mission, I've realized how easily some people can recognize the spirit (those messages from God). It's almost like they hear about the gospel, and they realize something in their life has been missing. This week, our friend Alicia- the one I talked about last time who doesn't have a leg and reading the Book of Mormon helped her phantom pain- came to church. She came in smiling so big as our sweet ward members pushed her in her wheel chair to join us. At the end of the meeting, another member asked her if she was visiting, and Alicia said "well, yes and no." It was like she instinctively knew this is where she belonged. As she was dropped off back at home, she texted us letting us know she felt as if her burdens had been lifted, and she already asked our ward members to pick her up next week. They said yes. Of course they did! When we listen to God, our lives CHANGE. We do what we know he wants for our lives, and we feel greater joy. On days when I listen to Satan, I just feel crappy. He wants to make us feel like we have no worth, while God wants to make us feel as if we are worth everything. Because to him, we really are worth everything. Don't forget that Jesus loves you, Sister Wallace ps -- if you are at a complete LOSS as to what to get your bestie Lacey for Valentine's Day, I like milk dove chocolate, Andes mints, and Chipotle. lol Also check out this dope video of me and my comp https://fb.watch/b1r1umw7ZB/ Pics: 1.
