Imagine you had everything you needed to know.   Imagine you knew the things that really mattered in this life.  Imagine you knew exactly what you needed to do to live the best life.  Imagine you had a road map to life.   No need to imagine, you have it,   You have this knowledge.  Think about that.  We have a goal in our zone to put our "mates on date". There's someone I have in mind  I could put on date. Hopefully.   We were meeting with our friend Ray this week and he told us he wishes he would've  known the things we knew when he was our age.  I thought about how truly lucky I am. How humbling that was. How I would've felt in pre mortal life as God tells me, I'll give you the opportunity to be a missionary for me. How  happy I must have been. To not only know the Gospel, but to be able to teach it?   In a recent talk I was reading "a voice of warning" by Elder Henry B Eyring. He says  this...

There are only 2 options in life. Go grab it, or live without it. No one is going to give it to you. The average person has the average things. "There is no room for average or complacent disciples.

Don't bury your talents, God has blessed you with them to use! This week was slower than usual. I do know God answers prayers and that He blesses us when we pray especially when we pray specifically and are g...

If someone was to ask you the purpose of life, what would you say? Would you say to be happy? Would you say to find love? Would you say to find peace? You could say anyone of these things. However, plain and simply put, Alma 34:32; For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors. One of my favorite things about the Gospel is that we are aiming high. We are trying to become the best versions of ourselves. Trying to become like Jesus Christ, who lived perfectly. He lived this life making all the correct decisions, but that is because he knew the truth. He knew the Gospel. The Gospel is literally truth. Truth doesn't change, it is the same yesterday today and forever. So once you know, you know. I had transfers last week and I am still in Ohio, but I have a new companion, Elder Oliphont. He told me he's wanted to serve with me. It was hard to see a few people go this transfer, but I am ve...
