Joy in the Work: March 14, 2016

Thank you for that relative scripture I totally agree on that thanks
dad the mission life is hard but so is life so I can't complain This
week I learn a lot most important is to be patient. I actually thought
I was good at this but haha I was wrong. Time is the measurement of
mortality it's also the measurement of how we grow and learn. over
time we have opposition which develop us to change but a lot of the
things we can't change with out the savior and the atonement. This
month our mission president wants us to focus on the savior life and
his atonement and how it is the center of all things and the gospel
which is faith in Jesus Christ repentance baptism gift of the Holy
Ghost and enduring to the end all of these pro apples would fall apart
with the atonement. this week has been very hard and I wanted to give up. I was to busy blaming every thing around me when really I was the one at fault "you can't change what's around you Intel you change your attitude"  at the moment I was mad at heavenly for giving me these experiences but now I'm a SOOO glad. I learn if you step back and take a couple deep breaths try not to break any thing or any body and just say a prayer and ask for help then read your scriptures every thing will be ok. It was amazing how I could of made a problem or fix a problem. 

This week we had a (trainer trainer ) come by his name is elder Olsen
he was fricken tall he spent the whole day with us boy that was fun
haha preaching the gospel with some evaluating ever thing you do I
learned a tone though. I learned the importance of preach my gospel, I would try to to ask the Elder Olsen what I should do to be a better
missionary and every answer he came up with was from preach my gospel it was incredible every question I had  about missionary work like how should I talk to people how should teach what should I do to find people to teach it is in preach my gospel ! I really have been taking it for granted but I'm trying to learn more from that manual. Me and my companion have been tested a lot this week a lot and a mean A LOT ! ! Of our appointment fell through so we try to go out and find people it is hard though in Arizona every one want to stay in door cause of the heat and they also do a great job letting us know that they are not home by turning down there Tv and shutting up there dog after we nock I almost want to say we know your in there we are angels knocking at your door and you think you can hide from the lord but you can't  haha "I can see your arm " what movie haha so
yea the mission is crazy it has it's good time and the bad and in between. I know that the savior lives and he died for me and also
lived for me and was risen on the thrip day, can't being to say how I
know but I know because I have tried to change my life by me self with help of others but I couldn't do it he has changed my life for the
better and know I go and help people receive him to change there lives.
