Teaching in Ireland
If we don't try were just
LATTER-DAY SINNERS
if we don preserver were just
LATTER-DAY QUITTERS
and if we don't allow others to try were just
LATTER-DAY HYPOCRITES
as we try to preserver and help others to do the same we are truly
LATTER-DAY SAINTS
- Elder Dale G. Renlund
HOWDY EVERY ONE!
I found this quote my studies today and I really like it. Why? Well I have
really understood how unperfect I really am as a person. I mean, I'm not all
that great. I sin, lie, think bad thoughts, am sometimes lazy, and I complain. But you know what I really am? I am a hard working missionary that puts
my his shoulder to the wheel every week to try to be better, think better,
and act better. No one on this earth is better than another. We are all
beloved children of God and this is something that we need to be
smiling about. The best thing about Latter-day Saints is they keep
trying.
This week has been up, down, left, and right. First, to
start of the week, we had to travel to the area were I started my mission
for exchanges with the zone leaderss and a leadership meeting. I got to go
teaching with the first man I baptized. That was a cool thing to do, to
teach with him...
A Church member who is coming back to activity stopped
contacting us for the whole week, so we gave her space and then tried visiting
her at the end of the week. She is not doing too good. My heart goes out
to people like her who are trying so hard. Just trying is hard for them. I know how they feel and I love them for it. The number one thing I
love about my mission is God's children. They are what puts a smile on my
face. You always hear missionaries say, "love the people," but you really don't know what it means unttil you love them. It is the greatest thing
ever to love and preach the gospel at the same time. What a blessing!
Well, I wish you all well and love you all so much. And don't forget to be a Latter-day Saint !
