Lima - Post 6

June 30, 2014

OOOOOOH OOOOOH! I'm halfway there! 

OOOOOOOH OH! Living on a prayer!

Yeah guys I hit my halfway mark on Wednesday and I am feeling pretty great!

Honestly, I really do not know what to say about this week.  All of our investigators we found either stopped meeting with us or told us they did not want us to come by anymore.  It is sad and we are back to ground zero trying to find people to teach. But it is okay because we know there are people prepared here in Lima.  We just need to FIND THEM!

SO I found a super cool quote this week that I wanted to share with everyone. It is from President Gordon B. Hinckley -

"Life is a mission, not just the sputtering of a candle between a chance lighting and a gust of wind that blows it out forever... While here, we have learning to gain, work to do, service to give. We are here with a marvelous inheritance, a divine endowment.  How different this world would be if every person realized that all of his actions have eternal consequences.  How much more satisfying our years may be if in our accumulation of knowledhe, in our relationshps with others, in our business affairs, in our courtship and marriage, and in our family rearing, we recognize that we form each day the stuff of which eternity is made... Life is forever.  Live each day as if you were going to live eternally, FOR YOU SURELY SHALL!"

This life is seriously so important.  Everything we do, every choice we make, affects eternity.  We need to do our best to choose the right and find the truth, because our eternal salvation truly depends on it. That is why I am here so far away from home.  I am trying to help people find the truth and do the things they need to do in order to return home to their Father in Heaven.  And I LOVE IT!  Sometimes it is hard but in the end it is all worth it.  And I have 9 more months to share the greatest message the world has ever heard!

Well I really don't know what else to say, except HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD AND BROTHER!  (also mine is coming up July 16th.... hint hint!)

Love and miss YOU ALL!
