Well
every time a new month is coming up things get kinda busy..... so I am gonna
take advantage and get ya´ll out a good letter!
Winter here has been
trying to show up lately. We´ve gotten down to the lowest of 14
degrees....celcious haha thats about 60 degrees in the states.... haha the bad
part is that even though its only about 60 out it still is stinkin cold! I have
gotten used to the warm here and that’s got me worried. I’m gonna die when I
get home... or maybe I´ll just head back to Hawaii haha
The weeks seem to be
going by faster and It seems that I begin to enjoy the work a little more each
week. It’s gonna be a hard one when it gets to be time to go home but I
learned young that if you leave it all on the mat you might miss it later on
but you won’t wanna go back to get rid of regrets and that my friends is a good
feeling.
I have really liked
this video... 1- because it has motorcycles and 2- because it is in my
hometown.... but 3- because it teaches a principal of the gospel that is very
important. It talks about how we should be... or our CHARACTER. Character is
something that all of the LDS members need. Many times we proudly declare that
are members of the True church of Christ... but then outside of the church we
forget how powerful that phrase is! We must never let our guard down or never
begin to lose the value that the restored gospel has for each and every one of
us.
Sometimes it’s hard to
always hold precious what we always have. So how can we always remember the
importance of what we are doing without having to lose this perfect gospel that
we have? One thing that has helped me is always recognizing that what I have is
never sufficient. Sometimes we get comfortable and Nephi clearly explains how
dangerous that is. We must understand that whatever amount of knowledge of
conversion that we have... it is not enough. That is why Nephi says "Wo be
unto him that saith, we have received, we need no more" That is a Phrase
that is as applicable inside the church as outside of it. We must be careful
and always be looking forward. If we do so we will be blessed in ways that we
cannot imagine and we will be able to create a relation with our father in
heaven so strong that we will be surprised at how well we know him as we return
to his presence.
I am learning this and
it is helping me take advantage of my time here and well I hope it to be as the
same help for all of you! Love you all and happy Thanksgiving!
