So hey how'd yall like conference?!.
I sure loved it! every part of it. all of it was so GOOD! starting with Holland and then going through till the end! man what a pick me up! IM SO PUMPED. seriously... somebody's gotta start playing Pump Up the Jam...wheres that sports jams hits cd that we'd always play Freeze dance to when you need it! #worldlymusic so all of you take the time out to listen to it for me today.
SO other news. this week was full of miracles. some big some small but miracles none the less. What's even cooler is that since the temple is done(and apparently ultra beautiful) we can go SEE IT! if the ward we are serving in gets a bus and nonmembers go. GAH! we are basically telling everyone in our ward to go so we can try to get a bus. I want to see it so bad. But if i dont its mos def not the end of the world. (oh and to answer the Q the Hart's had - No, the temple in the other mission has not created added interest for my area at least...)
Oh we got to do service at sister Fisher's house. "hidden cyprus Hollow" in longwood fl. google it. super rad place. i cannot wait to come back here. she is so cool! and her property is amazing. GAH! i love it in longwood. so glad i get to be here for so long. (7.5 months or more)
training is going a lot better. conference really helped. i have a lot of weaknesses. liek 50,000,000,000,000. im imperfect - what can i say... made from fallen material - and even though my parents are THE BEST - I am still not nearly as great as i could be - BUT here's the best thing, I can become BETTER! Through the atonement and grace of our savior i can become the person the LORD wants me to be. what a novel thought. to become the kind of person our loving father in heaven, who knows us better than we know the freckles on our fingers(i know all mine), WOW, what an divine ideal to hope for. If we rely on the saviors atonement - i mean truly rely on it - and pray to do the things the lord would have us (not mine but thy will be done attitude) and be the person he would have us be WE can become BETTER! gah! how cool is that to become better! SO MUCH HOPE!!!!!! i can hope for better things. chyeah boy! this gospel is so cool. This morning i was reading a great lil scripture that brought hope. It was in : Ephesians 5:8 8 For ye sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: http://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/eph/5?lang=eng
Which then led me to read hymn 304, Teach me to walk in the Light. Which says:
1. Teach me to walk in the light of his love;
Teach me to pray to my Father above;
Teach me to know of the things that are right;
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.
2. Come, little child, and together we'll learn
Of his commandments, that we may return
Home to his presence, to live in his sight--
Always, always to walk in the light.
3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day
For loving guidance to show us the way.
Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight!
Gladly, gladly we'll walk in the light.
Don't forget that this life is our 4 minutes to become great. We've prepared for this, we've waited anxiously, and now is the time to put forth our best effort to do what we came here to do and to help others a long the way. There is no stopping our greatness with The Lord on our side! We can truly do all things through Christ, if we are willing to repent, to truly repent and change our hearts and come unto him. He can help us through to lead us to what our father would have us do. This knowledge has given me a lot of comfort. I know I am very very far from perfect but thankfully I can become better. I can change. I am so grateful that I can. I'm really grateful that I can help others to know they can change and begin to reach that divine potential that our Heavenly Father has in store for them. Seeing people come unto Christ is so cool.
Hey I'm sorry I don't always give you a daybyday of what's going down... You can suggest different things you want me to write about but for now this is what it is... Sorrynotsorry. Oh fun fact. A guy that just moved to our ward knows the Hansens! He's from the la cañada first ward. Brandon Scott. Cool guy. Anyway. Thanks for the photos dad...I have to ski as soon as I'm home.., I was talking to elder brown and figured out that he is one of the propane guys that comes tot the grove...small world. Uh also mom sis Snyder is going to be asking you via text or email or calling about prom dress editing ideas....oppsie if you didn't want that. I love it out here. I love you. Thanks for being so cool.
