Dinges...

We had 3 other exchanges this week, one with the Assistants, one with the south elders and one with Schiedam. I went with an Elder from Brazil. He's a cool guy. 

We have been able to meet more and more people that we can keep working with. It’s still in the beginning phases, but it's going the right direction. And I’m happy about it. We have a mission leader conference this week, and next week is our zone training. 

I had a thought. Well, it wasn't my thought, but I stole it from our hoge raad speaker this Sunday. He read Doctrine and Covenants 78:19:

19 And he who receiveth all things with athankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an bhundred fold, yea, more.

And he emphasized that it says to receive ALL things with thankfulness. It is then that we are blessed. 


Although it's true that it's hard to be grateful for the crummy things in our lives, we can learn to accept them. If we accept that it must needs be so, and that we can learn from that thing, and then we actually strive to learn from that thing-- It is then that the Lord is able to bless us.
                                     It's for sure difficult. And for sure worth it.

I will send some pictures now

Elder Chantry!
