Hello everybody.
A pretty average week here in the field. We're about to go eat some Buffalo Wild Wings and then play some ball. Good day. Well, this week we committed a guy to baptism which is pretty cool I suppose. He's a stellar guy. I really love him but I'm getting nervous for him. I hope he continues to progress but who knows how that will go.
Things in my life are interesting. I came to an interesting conclusion. I've been thinking a lot and really trying to figure out how I can make this experience the best and put my heart into it. So, I came across a scripture in 3rd Nephi 13:21. Christ is saying to the Nephites and he says "For where your teasure is, there will your heart be also." So, that got me really thinking. Wherever my treasure is, that's where my heart is.
So, if we can make something our treasure. If we can truly study it and focus on what we know we need. If we can find our inner desire as to why we need/want it, we can somehow turn it into our treasure. And I'm not saying something we treasure, I'm talking about your TREASURE. Like the thing that you desire, the thing you dream about and what gets you through the day. So, I got to thinking, how can I apply this to missionary work?
First though, I had to take a step back and think, what is my treasure right now? I couldn't put my finger on it. It's nothing in specific. My treasure is happiness, joy, and being content. How do I achieve that? I'm not sure. So, I figured I would apply that to missionary work. If I can make a successful missionary my treasure. Then, my heart will be in this work. I just have to figure it all out first.
On a cooler note.... Two years ago I met Max Bemis. After my brother's wedding, we came across each other and I got to talk to him about our conditions. One of the coolest experiences of my life. Awesome situation.
Well, till next time...
