Mission Log: 9 Sept. 2013


CARLOS GOT BAPTIZED!

He's the greatest and we love him!
 

I love a quote by Thomas S. Monson, “decisions determine destiny.” I love it because it is true. Life will always be crazy. There will always be situations, people, or occurrences that invite us to feel negatively. That’s life. The important realization is that we are not objects. You are not a rock, you’re a person. You and I are acting things and with a simple decision to be happy or to change or to improve we can change our circumstances. Our fate is not determined by outside factors, we determine what happens in our lives and how we feel about it.
In the Book of Mormon a prophet, Lehi, teaches this idea to his sons. He says, “And now, my sons, I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon… Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself.” (2 Nephi 2:14 &16)
I’m so grateful for the freedom to choose. I hope you are too. Now, let’s all choose to be happy. Let’s choose to love and serve others. Let’s choose to see the miracles that our in our lives each day. When we do our worlds change from being dreary and frustrating to everything wonderful!
Love you!
