Howdy,
Yes the pain I feel is tremendous… Elder Andersen is being transferred. We got the call that the Brampton Boys are being split and I’m getting a new companion. This is a loss for not only the mission but also for mankind. Freakin love Andersen he’s a beast and it will be a rip to not be serving with him.
We had a good week other wise. 3 of our friends are still progressing and we’re pumped about that. Rosalie is praying about being baptized so fingers crossed.
I read a freakin dope talk this week, ponder on this wisdom:
Life offers you two precious gifts—one is time, the other freedom of choice, the freedom to buy with your time what you will. You are free to exchange your allotment of time for thrills. You may trade it for base desires. You may invest it in greed. …
“Yours is the freedom to choose. But these are no bargains, for in them you find no lasting satisfaction.
“Every day, every hour, every minute of your span of mortal years must sometime be accounted for. And it is in this life that you walk by faith and prove yourself able to choose good over evil, right over wrong, enduring happiness over mere amusement. And your eternal reward will be according to your choosing.
“A prophet of God has said: ‘Men are that they might have joy’—a joy that includes a fullness of life, a life dedicated to service, to love and harmony in the home, and the fruits of honest toil—an acceptance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—of its requirements and commandments.
“Only in these will you find true happiness, the happiness which doesn’t fade with the lights and the music and the crowds.”
-Elder Richard F Evans
Love you all, have a good week!
