Choose Joy

What's up everyone!
This week has been such a good week! It started off with meeting the
new mission president and his wife on Tuesday! They are awesome! Such
great people and have a wonderful spirit about them. They went through
a slide show of their lives so that we could get to know them!
President McCuistion is from San Bernadino (originally) so that was
cool! It was a great meeting with great energy!

Then Wednesday was MLC, which was so good! It was definitely different
then it has been in the past, but it was a good different. We all came
prepared with sheets to Update the "KWM How To" book (Which is
basically a book with the best practices for the mission and how to
best accomplish certain things!) and it was just a great meeting.
After the meeting President told us that we should go on exchanges
with a certain companionship in our zone so we booked it home to plan
zone training because we weren't going to have anytime the next day.

The exchange went super good! Had some really good experiences and got
to talk a lot about the book the continuous atonement. If you haven't
read that book you should because it will blow your mind. If you ever
have any question about how the atonement can apply to your
personally, read the book! It's amazing! There is quote that I love,
it says "Heaven is not a prize for the perfect, but a future home for
those willing to be perfected".

Then we had zone training and we talked about be consecrated
missionaries and giving it our all, and desperation (always being
desperate for success) and progression and how we can help other
people's progress. It was a good meeting and then we were able to see
some amazing milagros!

This week I have been thinking a lot about the scripture, "By small
and simple things are great things brought to pass". As I was
pondering what I could do during sacrament to be better that scripture
came to my mind. I was thinking about how many times the Lord has had
to teach me that lesson. (haha) but it really is by the small and
simple (Church, Prayer, Reading scriptures, being kind) that the Lord
can make great things come to pass. I know for me it get's easy to put
it off because its so small, but that really is the building blocks of
eternity. Those small simple patterns are how we progress and become
more like Him.

Love you all tons!
