I dunno about you, but I'm feelin' 22
This weekend was pretty much the best! I won't go into details because I know y'all don't have time for that. Plus, we have more important things to talk about.

Let's just say I'm really not looking forward to going back to reality tomorrow. It was just the best. Was it not?? I just wanted to share a brief tidbit of what I learned.
It has a lot to do with agency. Now, I know something really frustrating as a missionary is the agency of the people you teach. Like Elder Bednar said: It means so much to us that we just want to share it and have them accept it because it's true!
Anyways. The point is you chose to come to earth. You knew all about the plan. You knew it would be hard. You knew that you would have to endure tests and trials. You knew the purpose of you coming here. You knew that Satan would be able to tempt you. And yet you chose it anyway.
Why, you might ask??
Because you trusted in the plan.
You knew that there would be help and guidance along the way. You knew that Heavenly Father knows you and loves you individually and that just wants you to return home. You knew that there would be a Savior and that through Him, all things are possible.
So just keep trusting in it. Never stop doing all the simple things. Like Elder Scott said, "When we do these things, the more anxious Satan will be to tempt us, but he will have less ability to do so."
I know that we are led and guided by a living prophet on the earth today. I know that this is His church and that each one of you is doing his work. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father who is always there.
smile. be happy. trust in the lord. pray. have patience.
I LOVE YOU!
