Happy Easter!

We had a good easter week full of hard work!


This area is still very large and I am very greatful for a car!

I have been taking advantage of a car, because my last transfer We were on bikes and it took solid amount of time to get from place to place.

But now as soon as we finish up a lesson or a visit. We get back in the car and zoom to the next point!

The biggest thing I think i've learned on the mission is time management. It's very important not only as a missionary but for life. That's something I really want to improve on because time passes slow but it sure does pass, and you cant get it back!

I'm getting very close with the other elders in my apartment. They are all serious goofballs and they are serious about missionary work which I love.

My companion is still a gangster and puts on a tough face. sometimes It seem like he's mad at me but that's just how he is. He's Never really mad. He just seems like something is upseting him but every now and again I make a joke and he burst out laughing in the most high pitch hilarious laugh i've ever heard!
Hes a softy on the inside

This week we found 7 people to teach and not just people who say they're interested but people in which we have a lesson with them and and they Learn a lot and I can tell they feel something special about this message.

I have a lot of things that I love about this work. But one of them is when people notice that these 19 Year old teenagers are preaching the gospel of jesus christ. It's something That blows my mind, That teenagers are responsible for the salvation of the world.

.......

And if that doesn't strengthen your testimony that the church truly is true, Then I don't know what does, Because if the church wasn't true missionaries would have destroyed it a long time ago.

I also really love the rules we have because honestly back home. I was kind of a Rule breaker.
And since I've been here on the mission I have heard a lot of complaining about rules and about how high of a Standard that we get put on.

But every time I hear somebody complain or break a rule it makes me think about About the reason we have rules.. Especially on the mission our rules are here to test us. The whole point Life is hard is because life is a test and if it were easy; what Would be the point of being here?

And all of the rules we have and all the standards we have. Are there so that we can fulfill our purpose more effectively, And that purpose is to Is invite others to come Unto Jesus Christ.

Because I am only here for Seventeen ish months more.

That's really not a lot of time so I'm trying to make myself as obedient as I can so that I can fulfill the purpose of being here. Because that's silly to come on a mission and not get work done.

Another favorite I love is finding how to apply the gospel to someone's life. Because the gospel can be applied to any kind of person, Is any kind of situation, And any kind of problem.

The best part about it is it only offers good things.
