Good morning family from villa sur chile!!! All is well here and i am living every day. This has been a crazy week. Me and my comp are getting along and having a blast. The mission is so much fun but so much work at the same time. One thing, if you guys could tell me stuff that is that is goin on in the world that would be awesome. anything special that i have missed out on? oh ya and another thing that i have heard a lot about. mom, you think i am being a disobidient missionary with my music video or whatever. just to clear that up, it is a song about joseph smith and his life. anyways sorry i just wanted to make that clear that i am a obidient missonary. i want you guys to know that i try my very hardest every single day to be obedient to the mission rules.
to update you guys i got kissed 2 times this week. that is my 3rd for the mission...haha the old ladies here are funny... something funny that i heard is i was walking down the street and some guys started yelling stuff at us. we are use to that so i didnt pay him any attention. then my comp was like, "do you know what thoes guys just called you?" i said no and he said that they were calling me prince charles. haha i thought that was pretty funny.
so i finally got my package. thanx so much fam it was awesome. jenna thanx for the pics, mom thanx for the sweaters...haha and expecially thanx for the mt dew!!! oh man i have missed my mountain dew so so so much haha. i forgot how good it is. dont be afraid to send me more if you get the impression :) but you forgot one thing, i want to have razors for my regular shaver. when you send the next package if you could send pics and extra razor blades that would be awesome. tori thanx for the prom pics but i have to ask how you got mom to let you go in a immodest dress. i am kinda disappointed in ya. we always have to obey every single law of god, even if they seem stupid. a quote that i found about this is awesome. "sometimes the things of god seem stupid to men. when noah built the ark all the people thought he was an idiot. but in the end who was right? when we follow the commandments of god, all of them, we will always be right!!!" i just want to tell all of you that we always need to follow every commandment we recieve no matter what.
this week we got the opportunity to listen to a member of the 70, elder johnson. he was so incredible. he gave a sweet talk on being obedient to every law we have, and here it is.
as a missionary who has more work. the missionary who wakes up on time, leaves to work on time, goes to bed on time, tries his hardest every day. or the missionary who sleeps in, leaves to work late, stays in members houses eating and talking and laughing, goes to bed late...the 1st missionary has more work but here is the punch line, who is more happy...? the one that doesnt do very much or the one that works his butt off.
this made me think of my own life. when i worked construction it was one of the hardest times of my life. i had to wake up early, work all day, i didnt get to play very much in the summer. i thought that i wasnt happy. but when i got my teeth pulled and i sat home all day and watched tv and sleeped and didnt do anything i was not happy. why not? i wasnt working very hard, i should have been happy right??? WRONG!!!!!!!!! this is the biggest lie that satan uses. when i was working i was getting blessing. i got tan, got muscles (ya i got a little bit of muscles), i got tons of money, and now i know how to make a house, and i was happy cause i was working hard. when you are lazy your not happy. it may be easier in the moment but think of the blessings that you are missing out on now and in the future.
sure right now we have to work hard but think of who is goin to be more happy in the day when we are in front of the lord. i dont want to be the lazy servent when that day comes. i am goin to be in the celestial kingdom, resting, for the rest of eternity. and why?? because i worked hard in this life. that is the key. DONT BE LAZY. ITS NOT WORTH IT. SATAN IS A LIAR AND HE WANTS YOU TO BE SAD FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY!!! DONT LISTEN TO HIM!! KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS. WORK. SERVE!!! I PROMISE IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REST FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY IN HAPPINESS!!!! DONT QUESTION, JUST DO IT!!!
haha sorry fam, but i had to make that clear. you all are goin to be with me in the celestial kingdom k??? i want every single one of you to write me an email and promise me k??? :) love you guys haha
sorry ya. haha so this week we had divitions. i went to another sector with a elder from colobia named elder jimenez. he told me about his life, and he has had a hard life. 3 days before he left on his mission his parents disowned him. he didnt have anywhere to go, no money but he came anyway. he spent every penny he had to buy cloths for his mission. his girfriends dad paid for his mission. what an example he is for me. i know the church is true!!!
fam i love you all so much. tracy and shae and mekhii happy b-days!!!!! i hope its awesome. you guys are sweet. keep choosing the right and living good lifes. i love the work here. its hard but in the end its work it!!!! i have grown so so so much and its because of my mish. i love it and i love the people here. families can be together forever!!! JUST DO IT!!! have a great week guys.
