Week #65

  Well I don't have a lot to write about because my companion was

pretty sick all week and all of our investigators disappeared. haha

yeah I can't really explain what happened but General Conference was

super great!

  As someone who is naturally hard on themselves, this week was

difficult for me, but I found great strength and hope in General

Conference. One of my favorite talks was Jeffrey R. Holland's talk

Saturday Morning. One of my favorite quotes was "I also know that, as

children of God, we should not demean or vilify ourselves, as if

beating up on ourselves is somehow going to make us the person God

wants us to become. No! With a willingness to repent and a desire for

increased righteousness always in our hearts, I would hope we could

pursue personal improvement in a way that doesn’t include getting

ulcers or anorexia, feeling depressed or demolishing our self-esteem.

That is not what the Lord wants for Primary children or anyone else

who honestly sings, “I’m trying to be like Jesus.”4"

  I think a lot of the time, I think of improving as a sign that I am

just not doing good enough. And now that I realize it, I never am

doing good enough, once I am like Jesus Christ than I will be doing

good enough. But like Elder Holland mentioned, that is impossible in

this life. I am just focusing on continuing to steadily improve,

increase my faith in the Lord and his plan. I can honestly say right I

am finding pure joy in sharing about Jesus Christ. I have been beyond

blessed to have this Gospel in my life. I am trying my best to be

faithful and work hard, and then rely on the Lord when it comes to

outcomes.

  But all I can say is that life is good. To quote W. Christoper

Waddell "In this mortal experience, we cannot control all that happens

to us, but we have absolute control over how we respond to the changes

in our lives. This does not imply that the challenges and trials we

face are of no consequence and easily handled or dealt with. It does

not imply that we will be free from pain or heartache. But it does

mean that there is cause for hope and that due to the Atonement of

Jesus Christ, we can move forward and find better days—even days full

of joy, light, and happiness.

  I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, and the this

is his true church on the earth today. I hope everyone has a great

week!

We went back to Buddha Mountain for Pday. 

 And we had to move our beds to the living room because the AC in our room broke!
