'15 Goals

Back at the start of 2015, I made 15 goals I really wanted to keep in my life, and I've been meaning to share them with you all, hopefully to get some help and support in seeing them fulfilled. :)

Run - run daily! Waking up at 6 to run for about an hour. (which would mean getting to sleep early enough nightly

Diet - keep to my diet, eating healthily, not overeating

Typing - Improve my typing speed to 120 by practising daily

Study - Spend at least an hour daily studying physics/maths

Languages - spend time daily learning languages (esp Japanese, German, Greek)

Piano - spend time daily practising piano, so I can hopefully play many hymns by the end of the year

Worlds - spend time daily creating, writing stories, imagining worlds

Depression - publish what I've learned about depression, and help others with it.

Wife - search for a wife. :) aiming to date weekly. or something like that.

Virtue - memorise scriptures daily

Communicate - spend time daily talking with family and friends

Convert - help family and friends become more converted

Temple - seek to attend the temple weekly at least

Feast - keep having personal study in the mornings daily

Serve - give meaningful service daily

So it'll take some planning and effort to do, but I really want to see these goals come to fruition! :D So I'd love some help and follow-up in achieving them. :)

I think the biggest lesson I learned this week was how important the time we have is. We were out of our area a lot this week with exchanges and training, so we were both /very/ excited to get back to finding.

I love serving with Elder Møller - we get along so well. He's so diligent, obedient, and just a stellar friend. :D

Also! I've begun preparation for the easter Choir, but this time it's a lot more organised, which is such a relief and de-stressor. :)

Love you all! Cheers!!

PS: Here's a letter our Mission President's wife just sent out to the choir memebers, showing a pretty darn awesome miracle:

Dear Elders and Sisters

The music for "In the Garden" by Ryan Murphy performed by the Tabernacle Choir isn't published so that explains why we couldn't find it for the Easter Choir.  Elder de Vries asked his mother who asked Facebook.  Elder Penman's mother who is in the Motab, saw the post, contacted the choir office who contacted Ryan Murphy who has graciously agreed to release the music to us.  We are not at liberty to share it with anyone else or keep personal copies.  The copies will be gathered back after the choir.  Once the music is received I'll email it to you.  In the dropbox you'll find a download of the Motab singing it.

Tender mercy!  I really believe the heavens applaud what you are doing.   You will change touch hearts and change souls with your wonderful musical testimonies .

Love

Sister Brown
