Hey fam hope all is well don't have much time this week but I love you
all! This week has been a good one! We've got a lot of stuff going for
us, but with that there is a lot of opposition! I've been pondering
and praying a lot though for guidance! I had an answer come to me last
night the piano guys performed for us, I can't remember who said it and what was
exactly said- but it went along the lines of when you surrender your
life to God he will make more out of you then you yourself could ever
do in this lifetime! It hit me hard! I've come to notice that it's
easy to come out on a mission and just adapt or change your behaviour
for two years but when you go home nothing will have changed! I think
President David O'McKay said it best- the whole point of the gospel is
to make bad men good, good men better and to change human nature! Being
on a mission I have come to notice so much! I have learned the difference
between a change in behaviour, to adapt to mission rules, then to experience the
mighty change of heart and to have our fallen natures changed. I
believe a mission can help us learn the process better of
becoming good men, to having our natures changed by submitting our all
to the will of the Savior for two years! I have had a lot of ups and
down and trials and tribulations but not one of them I feel was for
vain! They all have contributed for my benefit for my eternal growth
here on this earth! I think in the process of life it is so easy to
always look for the next step and miss the crucial refining, process
that occurs in between them! My mission has been such a great learning
refining and growing experience I am greatful for this opportunity to
serve and minister to heavenly fathers children! I know this is his
work!
