June 15th- What a Week!!

This week Brother Danny and Brother Aurelio were baptized. But they have not yet been confirmed because we had Stake Conference this Sunday. So we are going to make sure we help them stay far away from Satan's temptations this week so that they will be ready to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and be confirmed members of the Church. I know that what it says in our call letter is true. This is the happiest I've ever been. I know that as we serve and love God's children and help them come unto Him, we will be able to feel just a little bit of what They feel for us. I know that each soul is precious to our Savior and our Father. In adult session of Stake Conference they had all of those who had received their mission call to bear their testimonies. It was so humbling to think of the many things they had sacrificed in order to serve the Lord. They had put off personal desires, education, family, and everything that stood in the way of giving the Lord their heart, might, mind, and strength. They were courageous and felt the necessity of the Work that each one of us needs to be engaged in. It made me appreciate this time I have to serve the Lord with everything. I know that the only way to really be happy in life is if we lose ourselves in the service of the Lord. Which I am trying daily to do. It really is a daily struggle. Missionary work is NOT like learning to ride a bike. It takes constant effort and a constant desire to be better, reevaluate yourself and improve. It's rough, but it is so worth it!
