Giant update for the month of January 2014

Hi! It's been a while! Not that that's anything new...
Since last time, lots of things have happened such as...

 - I turned 11 months old in the mission! It's a crazy thought to think I'm on the way out. But haven't been freaking out too much about the fact that I don't have too much time left. Some missionaries are freaking out and scared to leave behind missionary life and wish they could be missionaries for 14 years like Ammon. Others are counting down the days and getting "trunky" and ready to go home. As for me, I hope to be well adjusted and in the middle. I'm so eternally grateful for all I've learned and all the good times, all the personal growth and the opportunities to invite others to come unto Christ, but also excited about everything the future has in store after the mission. I'm especially excited for this chance to live life better and fuller, and as a dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ. That's how I see things currently and I hope I stay that way even when I'm almost done with my mission.

 - Transfers! I'm going to miss Belton a lot. There are so many amazing members out here in the middle of nowhere and they have my heart. There are also so many awesome investigators that are soaking up the Gospel like a sponge.

 - the first New Year's Resolutions I'm actually going to take seriously.
  •  read the Book of Mormon in Spanish
  • read the Doctrine and Covenants in English
  • run 1 mile (or at least 15 minutes cardio something if my companion won't run with me) every day (even after the mission) (Pardon the parentheses)
  • look for an opportunity to serve each day
  • Higher quality prayers
    • wake up and start over if I find myself getting drowsy
    • pray to be filled with charity every day
    • to talk to God about how things went that day and ask Him for help with the things that were left undone/not done well
