Hello Family and Friends!!
Well I would like to start with this.... WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS…I WAITED FOREVER AND HAD TO WAIT TILL I WAS 19!!!!!!!! (some might comment you didn't turn in your papers until you had 19 to them I say shhhhhh don’t ruin the fun and that’s beside the point!!! hahahahha) BUT SERIOUSLY HOW INCONVINIENT THAT IT HAPPENED 2 YEARS LATE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But I’m glad they made these changes the truth is that it’s a great change that will help in many ways. So many youth like me waited for the call and well I know some that started to get into problems around that time of waiting. It’s great that they will not have to wait like I had to. Also the women…how awesome that they can serve earlier too. Some will be able to serve and have the great experience that Dena and I are having (but this also makes things a little more complicated for me because I fear that all the girls will be preparing for the mission when I get home hahahahhahahaha). Well, if that happens that just means I’m going to have to figure out a plan B haha.
I hope that everyone was able to enjoy conference. I know that I did. Which talk did you like most? I liked well Elder Bednar, Elder Holland, President Monson, President Uchtdorf, President Eyring, President Packer, and Elder Christoferson. The truth is that I liked them all but I liked the ones that made me feel like I'm not doing enough the most. Elder Christoferson and his talk about being hombres was so awesome!!! It made me laugh because of the truth of it all and then feel bad because I have been one of those guys that haven’t done my part hahaha. (and then I hear a comment from my parents "We told him that for the last 21 years and well it never sunk in.” My response is well when I was 1-5 I really didn't understand what that meant and well I was not very focused on what you said due to other things...plus what do my parents know there old and they don’t know what it means to be young!!!!! hahahahahhahahah.)
So the last few days I have been thinking of the meaning of the heart and I have figured it out yet... hahaha. No I have figured out some things. In the Spanish guide to the scriptures we find the heart is the center of all emotion and feeling. But something better is that the heart is the symbol of our disposition and will. Then I was thinking about it. Clean hands and a pure heart... well has more meaning now. And then when you read the talk from Elder Bednar we learn a little bit more. "Clean hands and a pure heart." So I was also thinking about love. Love is such an interesting word with many different meanings. But we find profound devotion and affection in the scriptures. Then I think about Christ and his love for us in John 15:13-14 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends...” His heart in the right place and really loves us. I’m trying to figure out how to do this myself and well love like I should.
Some thoughts would be fantastic. I really do get bored having no emails to read or to contest.
I love you all and I hope that all have a great day and week!!!!
LOVE ELDER PACK!!!!!!!
