Hey Everyone,
This week was crazy!!! Every Tuesday we have a general authority speak, this last week was M. Russell Ballard. It was great, you can feel the presence of a apostle. He talked about a positive attitude, being entusiastic about the work so that others can see the light of christ in your eyes. It was really neat and a great spiritual experience to hear him talk. . .that was just tuesday. The theme for my email this week was between two very different things. .I feel like i should talk about this one. I want to talk about. . . .Eternal perspective. We as people only have a limited perspective of things events and feelings, only through the atonement of Jesus Christ can we have a whole new perpective given to us. Our savouir, suffered pains of every kind, sorrows of every kind so he would know how to succor his people. When we abandon the natural man and his perspective of things and gain the perspective the holy ghost can give us. Our eyes are opened. We begin to understand the feelings of others and that petty things do not matter, that in the eternal aspect of things, the only things that matter is having faith in jesus christ and following his example. I challenged all to read Mosiah 2, and pay careful attention to verse 41. .telll us the key to happiness in this life and the next So I'm learnig a lot of russian her in the MTC, It's crazy how much information you absorbed and how hard you work when you've got the spirit. I teach the 1st lesson in russian in a senario next wednesday, I feel comfortable with my language skills I just need to refine them. . .and help my companion study. So I finished the book of mormon this week, I'm restarting it again tomorrow, I challenged all who read this to give me your insights as you do your personal study, because when we read the book of mormon, write down your thoughts, it's the spirit talking to you. and if you want to share those with me. . .do it!!!!!! I would love to continually hear from all of you, your letters brighten my day, and if you put your insights of the book of mormon or even your testimony, we'll both grow as you share it. Letters or dear elders are both amazing ways of getting it too me. I love both of them. Send them as often as you can. . .I love to hear from you all. .. and Tell everyone to write me, I love letters and hopefully today I can catch up and write everyone back. anyway. . .tell everyone to write me or send me messages throgh dearelder.com . . .packages are good to, really good.Thank you all for what you've already done and for what you continue to do.
