Time to get to business. I feel it's about time we recognize how much we are in debt to our good Lord, and the blessings he showers down on us. I stepped one first in the internet place and snap it started raining mega. That is in every description and every from a blessing from God. Even more, a lot of times we have a hard time counting our blessings, but how bout all those blessing we're not permitted to see?? Huh? Can you count any of those?? We have a million see and even more unseen ways we's being blessed by papa god who loves us more than we can see.
Pres. Anderson said it pretty well. If we're dancing the dance we best be hearing the music. It doesn't have much sense if we are danncing to just be seen doing the jig. I know it's true, cause the spirit will enter my thoughts and when I press play on my moves he's follow suit and I'ma dancing every where I go. I really liked that talk.
I know I'm bouncing around, but Conference just puts it all right where It needs to be. Hearing countless talks about eternal families and about the importance of our savior in all of our choices we make just draws it out perfect for me. I know my time as a missionary is every day getting shorter, but it doesn't me this great energy I have has to go with the plaque. I'm really trying hard everyday for the blessings of an eternal family and like E. Larry M. Gibson said, I completely agree - I wouldn't do anything that wouldn't make my father proud. (Both of 'em). I know this whole plan is mean to see a lot further than our earthly eyes permit, and I know this life is really just the beginning. I owe all I've got to this gospel. I love my family every day more, and my friends that I feel are gonna be connected to me somehow in the eternities as well. It's gotta be forever, if not then whats this all about anyway? The church puts more money into the missionary work than anything other fund, and why? Cause this message is gonna be sounded in every ear before all this is said and done, and before the bright and comforting presence of our bigger brother Jesus returns to earth. What a privilege it is for me as one of his unworthy sons to carry his name and the name of my family to share this message with errbody. When you put church service into perspective they're really totally bonus blessings (again, more often the ones you don't see), we really don't appreciate the blessing we have to serve. Theres no better way to spread the gospel the do reach out a helping hand without the littlest thought of payment. Thats what it's all about. If theres something you can take from Elder Tate, who's bustin his buns everyday for this cause, it oughtta be that as members of the church our work our work is a lot easier than it's cut out to be. You don't need to put on a tie or make an appointment to go visit someone in need. Just go do it. Even if they're not there to attend you, it'll make their day to know you care. Just go do it! It'll do more good than you know. I am truly grateful for this path I've taken, choosing to serve and take his name to his children is this far away land, and for the experiences he has permitted me to see to help mold me into a better future father and son.
Although its not the typical letter you see me send, I really feel what I said is true. I Know it is.
