This week has been an opportunity to use talents that I
never expected on my mission. It turns out, I know quite a bit more about
computers than... pretty much everyone in the office. So, I've been on call for
the senior missionaries. That's been fun.
Two days ago, we were on our way home from an appointment,
when we saw someone on the side of the road trying to fix his bike. So we
pulled over and offered to help. We got it all put together and fixed up (thank
you, dad) we asked him if he wanted to know more about who Jesus Christ is. He
said, "Yeah, absolutely!" Pretty exciting. Probably the most
successful contact I've ever had (that's not saying much up here, but you
know... God consecrates the effort of the faithful).
I honestly don't know what else to say this week...
Just know that God loves you. Believe in Him. Trust that He
wants the best for you, he wants you to be the best you can be. Jeffery R.
Holland said, "God doesn’t care nearly as much about where you have been as He
does about where you are and, with His help, where you are willing to go."
Believe in Him. Trust Him. He isn't worried about where
you've been. Where are you and are you willing to go where He wants you to go?
Will you trust Him? I will. Always.
I hope I never forget the lessons that the Lord has taught
me... I know it must be hard in regular life to hang on to the lessons that we
learn every week. It must be so hard to put off the things of the world, and to
live all the laws, from music, to movies, to being kind, to loving your
neighbor, even to sharing the gospel... But I can only imagine the power that
would be available to someone who chose to sanctify themselves to such a point,
that they could follow all the spiritual promptings they received, regardless
of their circumstances. Maybe someday I'll be that man that others can depend
on to always be there. Maybe, I'll be someone that can lift, inspire, motivate,
and glorify my Father everywhere I go.
I know this Gospel is true. I love you all so much.
Rock on. Peace, Love, and Temple Marriage. In that order.
Elder Taylor J. Hill
