Jacob - April 25, 2016

Heavenly Father knows what he's doing. It reminds me a little bit
about a talk that I read a few days ago. It was by Elder Bednar and
how not shrinking is better than surviving. It was really good and
changed my perception on the work here. I think a lot of missionaries
expect to have results, but from what I understand.. We're suppose to
have faith to find and to teach, the faith or I guess the hope that
everything will turn out awesome. But after reading the talk, there's
another part that I think people will sometimes overlook, not just
missionaries but everyone. Out here, no matter what happens, it's all
up to Heavenly Father. I think rather it's important to develop the
faith in God and to succumb to his will, but at the same time
understand that whatever happens is and will always be for our
benefit. Which reminds me of The opposition talk from elder oaks. Man
I could probably go on this for a while. There's so many cool things
I'm learning and experiencing. But this week was pretty good. We had
president interviews which were awesome! We talked about President
Monson's talks and the commitments he extended us. Also we talked
about things that I can do to become better which included putting my
thoughts towards others and avoiding casualness. Really good stuff. Um
a crazy experience I had is that I was almost attacked by a dog. That
was crazy, but I'm fine. Nothing happened. But I'm having a tough time
of thinking about what else happened this week... We've been doing a
lot of finding lately so it's tough, but I'm enjoying it. Anyways I
love you mom, hope you have a great week!
