Hey everyone how's life going? I hope all is well in the
lives of those who read my emails. To start off my email today I wanted to give
y'all two quotes that may be helpful to you if you are struggling at this time.
The first quote is from Orson F. Whitney
"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is
wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as
patience, faith, fortitude, and humility. All that we suffer and all that we
endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters,
purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and
charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God...and it is through
sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we
came here to acquire and which will make us more like our father in
heaven..."
The next one is from Gordon B. Hinckley
"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to
waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is
that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be
just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration;
most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail
journey...delays, side tracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts interspersed
only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick
is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
These are a couple of quotes that have helped me come to
terms with changes that have been happening in the last couple of weeks. I hope
these will help you as well in any times of struggle that may beset you.
Now to my actual letter there has not been very much that
has actually happened this week. All in all it has been a pretty boring week.
One thing that was interesting though is that I was out Proselytizing on both
new years eve and day. It was interesting to because I found it very
interesting to see how many people were actually home on new years eve and new
year. I hope y'all have a good week this next week and I will try and make this
week a little more exciting for y'all!
