The weeks are starting to just blur
together and I honestly don't know what to say anymore. I´m tired but happy. There -- that about sums it up. I'm extremely
tired but very happy.
Not really anything monumental
happened this week. Just a normal week of trying my best to do the work of the
Lord. I really do feel so grateful for everything. My prayers this week were
just of gratitude. Everyone has started with, I love thee, and I love thy son.
I just feel so grateful to be where I am, to be doing what I’m doing, and to
know what I know. I just feel nothing but gratitude right now. I love these
people with a love greater than my own. This love isn't from me but from the Savior.
I love my mission.
I have no reason to complain.
So anyways, I started re-reading the
Book of Mormon from the beginning to see if I can read it one more time before
I come home. Over the duration of my mission I have come to develop a very deep
and sincere love for the Book of Mormon. It truly is the evidence of God´s love
for us. This week was a good week and I think that was partly because I was
spending every spare moment I could reading and pondering the Book of Mormon.
It amazes me how I still continue to receive answers to my prayers and questions
from verses that I've read a thousand times. Oh how wonderful the gift of the
Holy Ghost. I just really like the Book
of Mormon.
Overall things are good. I´m happy
and really trying my best to lose myself in the work. That's what has made
me the happiest: losing myself in the service of others. Better yet: losing myself in the service of
the Savior. All I want is to please Him, to bring Him joy, and to make Him
proud. I know that there is nothing that brings Him more joy than when we chose
to come to Him and what brings Him even more joy is when we decide to bring
others with us.
I love my Savior with all of my heart.
This isn't my mission but it is His. There truly is no other way to live than
through Him. He is the source of everlasting peace and happiness and I'll never
get tired of letting others know that.
Have an awesome week and enjoy the
4th of July!!! HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! It´s a good place.
Come what may and love it!
