Mom,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 29 again!!!!! YAY!!! :D haha it will be weird in a few years when I turn 30 and am older than you! ;) Give all the cousins and aunts and uncles my love, and let them know that I´m doing FANTASTIC! It sounds to me like everyone is enjoying a break right now. As for your cruise, make sure Dad practices his Spanish because I want to speak with him in Spanish when I get home!!!! Enjoy your time with Nathan and Mindy, and tell them to send my best to Jared and tell him thanks for serving alongside :D
Anyway, that is great that Connor is tall now! It will be fun to have family reunions when we have all returned from the service! I´m excited to see how much has changed!
This week was a great week for me and my companion. We grew a foot or two, beat up more bad guys, taught more good guys, and are dominating the world!! (make sure David reads that ;) I am enjoying myself thoroughly, more than I have all the mission. I think that the more time you have in the mission, the more the things of the world start to disappear and your focus becomes real, something that takes time and experience to gain.
There is a scripture that I read this week again that has really caught my attention, and that I am going to memorize and apply in my life every day. In D & C 6:33-36 we have some great scriptures and verses that have a lot of doctrine and advice. In 33 we find the LAW OF THE HARVEST! Obviously this caught my attention fast, seeing as we have talked about it a lot and I am harvesting as a missionary. Everything we think, say, do- it all brings blessings and there is always a consequence. For good thoughts, words, and acts, we receive blessings and happiness. With bad thoughts, words, and acts, we bring negative consequences to ourselves. I´ve slowly realized that there is real power behind this principle. One thing that I have learned to do is to THROW AWAY THE EXCUSES from our lives. We don´t have time for them! Excuses are for people who don´t understand the laws of God. The only real control is self-control. If we can accept the blame for the things we do wrong and LEARN from them, we will have a deeper satisfaction and peace in our lives. I have stopped blaming other people for what happens. Sure, there are things that are out of my control. However, I always have the control of myself, my attitude, and how I react when things don´t go MY way.
In verse 36 it says Look unto me in every thought. Doubt not. Fear not. If we read in the bible dictionary, fear was the first consequence of the eating of the fruit by Adam and Eve. It says that fear is a feeling that doesn´t belong in a child of God. We have NO reason to fear IF we do what is right! Fear is the consequence of disobedience and the breaking of the laws of God! I want to develop myself to the point where I no longer have fear in anything. I hope you all can read this piece of scripture and if you want, let me know your thoughts and feelings! I´d love to see how you interpret what you read :)
Katherine, GO BARBIE!!!!!! heheheh. Show all those people that Barbie is a member of the true church! ;) You are an example to all of us and everyone notices your happiness and energy! Always represent yourself how you know you should and you will have an inner happiness that very few people find!
Chris, stay sexy. Hahhahah. Keep building those muscles, and start building your spiritual ones right NOW. The earlier you start, the better prepared you will be and you´ll feel more comfortable with yourself in the teaching of the gospel.
David, go play sports with your friends! Make sure to share and to smile a lot. Give mommy a kiss!
Jacqueline, help mommy with the chores in the house and then you can serve a mission in Disneyland!
