Hey everyone!

May 18, 2015

Well I will start out this letter by giving a big thanks to everyone that wrote me this week. It is always great to open up the emails and see that people still remember you! hahah. 

Here it has been a good week, enjoying all of the little moments that bring the happiness. Waiting in church and watching your investigators walk in just on time, for example. It really is something that is incredible. I thought that the mission was something that I would do to serve God and pay him back for all that he has given me. I now realize how completly wrong I was. I have seen now that it is actually one of the biggest blessings i have ever recieved. 

It is absolutly incredible how much God loves us. He gave his Son, a sacrifice that none of us could ever imagine, to bring to pass our salvation. There was no other way. Without this sacrifice, we would be completly damned without any way of finding salvation. But God did it, He gave us his Son. 

Sometimes in our life there are sacrifices that need to be made to reach our divine potential. There are many good things, many things that are important, but very few things that are truly necessary for our salvation. Remembering this helps me to work when I am tired, to be obedient when the trials come, and repent when I mess up. Always remember your true priorities, and make sure that you complete the necessary steps for this goal before any other want or desire that you may have. 

I tagged some photos of me enjoying a grenade as they call it here. This things is bigger then my two fists put together! It cleans out your insides very well too as I came to learn. Also enoying some banana pancakes. 

Love you all and hope that you can all remember what are your true priorities!
