25 March 2018

In response to me sending him a video of his Josh's baby, Titus:

White babies look weird.

The weather is finally getting warmer here in the beach town! Woo!
Although we are still in long sleeve season till may 1st sooo... But
it’s cool.
Oh by the way, my new companion is Elder Brown from Ogden. He is
ridiculously good at Japanese. Almost Elder Draper level of good.
Pretty cool. Also he is a twin. Also, the other elders in the
apartment are twins as well... I am especially now special because I
am NOT a twin haha. Twins galore!
I love this ward so much. Even from day one here I have felt like they
are all my family. We are able to work together with them a lot too
which is perfect.
We had zone conference last week and it was awesome. Got to really
learn to apply my dads unending lesson of changing my mindset and
attitude. Nope. Still not good at it. But it’s a good lesson and a
total game-changer when applied.
The only thing that can hold us back from improvement and progression
is our own pride. As soon as we learn to overcome our pride we can
shave away at the qualities and mistakes that hold us down and really
start going. At the end of the day, we can make all kinds of excuses
that keeps us from breaking down that pride but it will all come to
and end at choice. It’s our choice to make the change. It’s our choice
to change what’s inside us. The things that happen around us only
cause us to make choices that influence what is on the inside it can’t
effect it directly.
Choose to be happy! Choose to be bold! Choose to do great things!
Choose to do hard things! Choose to follow the example of Jesus Christ
and turn outward instead of inward!
Thanks for prayers and emails! Hope and pray everyone has a great week!
