Hello
Everybody!!!
I love the
pictures y’all sent!! Looks like y’all started off summer the right way. It’s
weird over here the kids don’t get out of school until the middle of June.
Well I'll
fill y’all in on my week. We had our Zone Conference this week in Escondido and
President Kendrick gave us some really enlightening council. He said “Those who
grew up in church are like a fish that don’t know they’re wet. Understand that
those who aren’t members don’t understand much if not anything of what you
do" He then told us the contrast between the worlds view of life and ours.
1) In the world very little if not anything is sacred, in the church all things
are sacred. 2) In the world there are no answers, in the church we have all the
answers. 3) In the world there is no eternal perspective, in the church we know
there will be a life in the eternities. 4) In the world there is a belief that
no one can change, in the church we know that anything that has ever been
broken no matter what it is in the eternities can be fixed by virtue of the
Atonement. 5) Everything in the world is course and crude, everything about the
gospel is uplifting and edifying. 6) The world is bold enough to teach lies even
though it is dangerous. The church teaches truth even though it is unpopular.
7) The world is full of gloom and despair, and we are a gospel of truth and
optimism, we look forward with faith. 8) And we believe in the Savior.
We are
planning to have Al's baptism this weekend on Saturday. I’m so excited for him.
He is one of the must humble seekers of truth I have ever met. It has been
amazing to watch this man progress in the gospel and to see how he has been
prepared to receive it. He has now objections about anything and when he makes
a decision there are no ifs, ands, or buts. He is surer about this gospel than
he has been about anything in his life. I love being a missionary and being
able to be a part of others first steps into this gospel and back to their
Heavenly Father. A mission is seriously the greatest adventure of your life,
where ever you are called.
I love you
all,
Stay strong,
stay true, and look out for one another while I'm away, alright?

brother, son, and friend
