Good morning!
This week has come and gone so fast! I hope the next one does too because I really want to see you! But we are working hard here and we have 2 baptisms lined up for my last 2 saturdays. About my arrival in the airport mom, it's fine if it's just you guys. They can all just come over that night. And I am super excited about that watermelon... This week was awesome. I spent a lot of time thinking about the things that I have learned on my mission. I also read over my patriarchal blessing a few times. Until the other day I thought that a lot of my blessing was about my mission and the things that I would learn, accomplish and the people I would help here. But the other day I realized that it's not talking about my mission. My mission has been my training ground for me top learn how to serve in the church for the rest of my life. Most of the blessings promised there are blessings yet to come. The end of my mission will mark the beginning of my "great work" in helping build the kingdom of God. I also was so uplifted and inspired by general conference. There will be lots of trials and persecutions that come at us as we continue in the faith. But God's message to us is to never give in... Never compromise the things you you believe. We need to start now, strengthening our testimonies and standing up for what we believe. There is no place for members who want to stand on the sidelines. Our Savior needs us in the game! I love this work! I can't wait to come home and see you and continue on living he Gospel and doing what we can to hasten the Lords' work. Try not to miss me too much! 2 weeks na lang :)
