Hey Dad!
That's some real great insight from Pres. Hunter. I've often
found myself thinking about the definition of peace, and how we see it vs. how
the world sees it. One of the biggest connections I've made is that it seems
like worldly peace only lasts for so long, but the tranquility that comes
through the spirit lasts for eternity. Heh, now I just realized that's one of
the things we do out here, be peacemakers. Offering the only peace that lasts
beyond death.
I believe it was Harold B. Lee who said something along the
lines on how the Gospel is the only thing that can unite men of all cultures
and backgrounds together in harmony. Looking around the world, I see how that
is so. Devout Latter Day Saints all over the world seem like the most unified
of any organization on Earth. Treaties and whatnot eventually are locked up in
some glass case, but the gospel is proclaimed for the rest of the Earth's life.
That's the beautiful thing (one of the many) the gospel of Christ does; helps
us look beyond flags and rather at family. I guess the thing to do now is to
continue to preach it to all of God's children!
We had a lot of Member-present (MP/LTM) lessons this past week.
As a matter of fact, all lessons taught were with a member present, so we are
making good progress with using members more often!
Yeah, it's definitely a little challenging taking over the area,
you should know. Elder Vajner's only been out 4 and a half months, but we are
making do anyhow! I feel like I'm back in Staff to a certain extent, every day
there's a plan to be carried out and all that jazz. Feels good actually, being
back in the scene. But still, I shouldn't worry too much.
Anyway, thanks for the email! Yours are always the more
spiritual ones that I get every week, and I always appreciate the
insight/reminders you give. Thanks for all you did to teach and provide for me!
Love
you,
Michael
