Too Many Eggs

Hey!  



This week was a good one. For those of you who were wondering what the most quoted  scripture of all General Conference was, it's Mosiah 3:19: For the natural man is an  enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless  he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and  becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child,  submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the  Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.  



I love this scripture and it's a fiery one, but it's very true. If there anything I've learned,  the more of the natural man I put off, I find more joy in life and it's the little things too. I  feel the spirit more and know I will get more out of General Conference, which I'm  looking forward to. I'd say since I’ve been on a mission, I am reeaaallly looking forward  to General Conference. 



As I mentioned last week, Brad Wilcox gave our devotional and it definitely was one of  my favorite I have ever been too. I wrote down soooo many notes. I don't want this  email to be a book so I'll share a quick thought. He talked about covenants and how  convents = accessing the power to keep them. This was something I haven't thought  of. I have a lot more but will save them for another day.  



For what happened this week, not much went down. We had a district activity and we  did basketball which was a lot of fun. We also dyed eggs. Speaking of eggs we have 70  eggs.... we're trying to get rid of them. Anyways, thanks for all your prayers and support.  I defiantly feel of your love.

Winner's New Year

Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. I love this scripture because at the end it says "Come follow me." It's at the end, which sometimes in life it seems last minute, last time we try, last thing we do, is our answer or our chance to "change things." How many last chances are we going to get? How many times can we make the same mistake? How many times are we going to stay the same? How many times do we need to be told what to do? I really hope 2024 is a year that we all grow a lot, grow spiritually, physically, and mentally. Let’s take up our cross and bear it, let's give up that thing we know we don’t want too, "because it is too hard”. Let’s face that trial, face our fears,”Don't let your fear decide your fate." Even though some of the motivation we have is from the date cha...

The Difference

Image
Think of the difference of your life without the Gospel and Jesus Christ's example.  Where would you be now?   What would you be doing?   How much different would your life be?   All that you know, the things that bring you peace, the things you enjoy you have been  blessed with, with all this you have, has it changed you?   One of the hardest things to do in life is change. I’ve reflected on how much the Gospel  has changed me. I feel like I've had 5 years of experience with having only being out for  what feels like a few months.   The Gospel helps us change when we follow it and live it, the change comes naturally  as God blesses us when we try to become like the Son.   As I look back from week to week, I see the change, though little, I see how each week  the Gospel helps me "overcome the world and find rest." It helps me know that we are  all children of God, and divine.  Those deep ...

New Perspective

Image
I am in Detriot. The city. Downtown. Talk about New Perspective. The adjustment has been an interesting one, but I love it. This will most likely be the last area I serve in. I have moved up closer to some of my favorite missionaries. As I reflect on my mission, my perspective has changed in life completely. Perspective is the way we see things when we look at them from a certain distance and it allows us to appreciate their true value and act accordingly. An example, you don't know how much you miss someone until you don't get to spend as much time with them... Distance kills what's fake and shows you what's real. Perspective is the window you look through to perceive everything. Is your window clean or dirty? Perspective helps you to know where you are now and where you want to go. While you're on the path, are you going to be looking for the tools on the way or the obstacles? Proverbs 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools...
