Aside from the unbearable heat, my time in Middletown was incredible. Our mission president challenged each of the missionaries here in the California Santa Rosa Mission to go out tracting (knocking on doors) or street contacting (talking to people on the street) every day from 3:00-4:30. During this time with Sister Cluff, we did exactly that. We went out, hit the street, and knocked some doors. What we found while knocking doors was miracles.One door specifically almost put the two of us into a coma.

Middletown Miracles
I despise the heat. When the temperatures start going higher, I feel like I am getting lower. Like I am melting and shrinking with every drop of sweat that falls off me. It's just gross. On Wednesday of this week I had the opportunity of going up to Middletown California for exchanges with Sister Cluff. It was hot. After being in Eureka for so long and then coming to Santa Rosa (which isn't too hot), Middletown felt like the Sahara Desert.

"Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude"
The little things in life can pass us by without being noticed. It takes an effort sometimes to notice all of the amazing things that we are blessed with daily. We are blessed with so many things in our life that get left unnoticed. During a dinner the other night, the mother asked us to name 2 things we were grateful for. My first thought was "easy, I know a lot of things", but then she added that they had to be small things. Something that we don't ever notice or hadn't thought of as a "blessing". Much to my surprise, this was a lot harder then I thought it would be. At that moment, I realized how much I truly take for granted. There is so much around to be grateful for! Notice the little things. Don't let them sneak by unnoticed.
