Dear Mom,

As usual you are right.   I came to a big realization this week.  The Lord called me to a mission. But I had forgotten why he wanted me on the mission. It is not only for the people I will teach but it is for me to improve the skills I have and make me a better person. I also realized that we are not perfect, and we may have learned something in the past but not used it for a while so we need something to jar our memory and get us going again.  Mom I love the work and the people that I am teaching. Hey something that I have found very useful this past week from my study is Preach My Gospel the first chapter at the end of it has a quote page.  I think it would be really good for anyone to read.  Also I got the St. Patricks day package.  My language is improving every day.   Keep praying for me.  I will keep praying for the family.

 

Well everyone this week, I realized how important motives behind things are. We have been teaching a couple of investigators and they weren’t progressing until we explained to them that we simply were trying to help them become better people and obtain the same gifts and blessings we have. I will give a simple promise this week; If you love your  Heavenly Father and you love your 'neighbor' And you sincerely desire to help anyone who comes in your path whether it be by a smile or whether it be by a hug or service, you will see the beauty that is in the world. Remember it is your choice how to live life. It is your choice to take something bad and turn it into good and it is your choice to be happy. I love each and every one of you!   Remember the Lord is walking beside you. Read your scriptures, say your prayers. Trust the lord love the lord, trust yourself, love everyone.

Love,

Elder Green
