But, first lets start with the anything else. We were doing our weekly planning this last Friday, when I happened to look out our window and see this man with his sweatshirt and hood on hopping the church fence. I figured that was weird. He walked into the little walkway we have and then came back out and paced. We could tell he had something in the pouch of his sweatshirt, so we decided to check stuff out. We felt pretty cool as if we were going to find something super interesting and have to bust this guy. We were actually singing the song from Mission Impossible as we quickly ran down the stairs. Turns out, it was a YSA member who had forgotten his USB drive in the bathroom and wanted to see if it was open or not. We felt cool until we realized it was him and then just felt silly. But, a good story to tell, right?
Our Mission President, President Murphy, told us a great quote that I loved. He said, "The only benefit of choosing an easier option, is that it is easier." (I'm not claiming this to him, I just don't know who the true source is). It is a good thought to have in mind. Easy options don't help us grow. They don't help us push ourselfs. The don't let us realize the potential we could reach. they are just, easier. So, don't choose the easy. As President Monson has said "Choose the harder right than the easier wrong".
We also had the great opportunity to listen to our prophet, President Russel M. Nelson, his wife, Elder Stevenson, his wife, and Elder and Sister Fallabela.How I love our prophet! Sister Nelson, however, shared an amazing story about the preparation for the Special Youth Devotional. She stated, "When there is somthing that could change the balance of the forces good and evil, Satan throws all that he can." She shared the difficulties she and President Nelson had as they prepared the talk they shared at the devotional. From computers shutting down, to larangitis, to weakness. There was a lot they went through during that preparation. She shared that to our trials. When we try to do what is right, it seems that everything is against us. But she also helped remind us, there are more on our side than theirs. We have people on the other side of the veil helping us complete what we need to do to help others receive the blessings we have received. Don't give up. Have faith. Have hope. Endure to the end.
Love you all. Hope you all have a great week and focus on Jesus Christ this week!
