I had some spiritual thoughts that I was gonna share. Ima keep it to one tho. One of my favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon is ether 12:27 "if men come unto me I show unto them there weakness... if they humble themselves before me and have faith in me then will I make weak things become strong 💪🏽unto them" I always thought it meant that if I gave God my "weak" character traits he would CHANGE ME and give me the corresponding "strong" character trait. For example maybe my weakness was that I am easily distracted. If I was humble God would take away that weakness and bless me with hyper focus. The thought that I had this week though was that God doesn't want to CHANGE ME. I'm not saying that we just accept who we are and never try to get better because God's plan for us is all about progress. What I am saying is that God made us all different and we each have different characteristics for a reason. As we humble ourselves before God he can help us see how each trait we have been given can be used as a strength. In some circumstances distraction, what I saw as a "weak" trait can be seen as being aware of your surroundings or maybe you notice things that others would miss and hyper focus, which I saw as a "strong" trait can be seen as being oblivious to the things all around you. Thought over

Love you all! Happy Valentines Day 😘


Quick! Take a Pic! Hopefully the pictures send in the right order or this email won't make any sense.

For those of you who read this first thank you for reading the heading and you can now start from the top. I HATED when the teacher gave you an assignment like that to see if you were reading the directions. You know the ones I'm talking about! The ones that make you go 😑

Pace 8:1

(I somehow missed this email so it is out of order!) We had transfers again. I am now in the Bronx. It is the best area in NYC by far. So blessed! All the fire hydrants here are broken and spew out water 24/7. There is a great deli right next to our church building so I'm gonna be fat. There is also a new drink there that is my favorite. People here are super humble and prepared by God. Should have some baptisms coming up. There are a lot of street vendors here selling a bunch of cheap fake stuff so that could be cool. One of the missionaries has a pickle ball net so we will be playing that on Mondays. My apartment has a washer and dryer. There is also a lot of places in the city where you can get big slices of pizza for a dollar. My comp is from Surprise Arizona. We went to a members house the last day I was in Long Island and she made us a cake and had lots of balloons and she won't leave Ashlyn alone on Facebook Bye Bye

No letter today but he sent these two pictures. Eating with a member (can’t tell what the food was) and before he left the Bronx.  This is the mission leader of the Spanish ward but Justin really liked him.  He said he was awesome!   Justin has said he’s gaining weight and I can see some extra fluff around the middle in this picture.  He eats a lot of sandwiches.  He says they are cheap!  They don’t often eat at members which is what he prefers.  He says a lot of time is wasted eating with members.  He’s got work to do!!
