So the biggest thing that has happened to me is the knowledge that our family will be sealed and together forever. I know this because while in class this week we were testifying and talking about what we most desired in life. It had never occured to me that I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted. That was until this moment in my life I had a thought of our family. Slowly that seed has grown. It has been testified to me that our family will be together forever. The feelings I have had with knowing that makes me so excited. I feel comfort and joy every time it comes to my mind. It makes me happy to know that the joy I feel and I'm sure you feel can be with each one of our family members. If that is able to happen than I dont' need anything else. If I am able to be with you all forever that I would be completely happy because the joy I felt knowing that it could happen has been the biggest joy I can't even explain.
Another thing that has happened is that I have been able to start to understand the love of Christ for each one of us. As I use the atonement everyday to be strengthened I can feel of the mercy and love of Christ. As I learn every day I have noticed that it is only through Christ's mercy can we return. I then think of how merciful he is to come and give up his life for me who is only a single person. However, he did it because he loves us and just as he knows the joy of immortality he wants us to experience the joy he feels.
I have learned that the only way we are able to come closer to him is to be as much like him as we can. We have to consistantly think of others. That we must put off the natural man and become a saint like him. We have to stop worrying about ourselves and try to not worry and help others. A story told to me was about how Christ, even on the cross to die, prayed for others that we need to at our weakest times and lowest times help others.
This week has been the one that I grew the most. It has been the one where I have become the most humbled. That I can't do this work without his help. That only through Christ can this work be possible. I know that he helps us in this work and gives us the tools we need to accomplish it.
Well, now on the day-to-day stuff. Well district leader is pretty easy, nothing too hard. I just am the one who goes and gets letters for our district. I also interview everyone in my district to see how they are doing. I run t he district meetings which we have a topic and we talk about it. We also have a meeting after devotionals, which is when an apostle comes and talks to the missionaries. So after that we go and talk and I just run them I just make sure that we are doing what we need and doing the things to get closer to Christ. I just try to be the best example I can and they usually just follow and try their best. I Love it because I am able to serve and help everyone in my district.
As for everything else it's going well. There hasn't been to many problems. I Love everyone in my district so I don't have problems with anyone. I can't believe how much I have changed though, I haven't really done anything childish. It's weird to say but it's boring to me. I would much rather go and read the scriptres or learn more about the gospel. The food is about the same. Things are speeding up quite a bit however, I love it a lot. I feel like we just had a p-day yesterday. I Love it I am trying yo do everything I can to get all I can so then I can use this time to prepare for investigators other that that not much is happening.
I Love you!
