Hey, there!
Hey, there!
I
would like to start by expressing my gratitude for some people right now, these
guys have taught me some of the most important lessons in my life and I never
knew it. I realize now, that when ever I was around them I had an urge to be
better, and they always pushed my to be better. They are some of the best
examples of Men that I could ask for. From them I learned Hard-Work,
Dedication, Honesty, Love, how to listen to the Spirit, Charity, and so much
more. And I have been so ungrateful of them. Here I have seen families that are
missing examples like them, I've seen the advantage that I had, and how much
harder it is for families that don't have such examples. I know that I could
have been more grateful for my blessings. So I want to say thank you to the 3
strongest men in the world, the 3 coolest, the 3 best examples I have, My Dad,
and My Grandpas. I love them and hope I can become even half of any one of
them. Happy Father's Day!!
In
light of Father's day I did some studying on the Priesthood! You I learned that
Fatherhood is a form of stewardship, that is why the bishop is the "father
of the congregation" and so forth until the Prophet. The Priesthood it the
right to be an authorized father, or leader in Christ's Church. The Aaronic
Priesthood is like the learners Permit, it prepares you to receive God's
authority to guide his work, then comes your probationary period, or your
mission or other callings in the priesthood when you receive the Melchizedek,
these help you understand more about the Authority and responsibilities that
you have. Then if you would like you can submit for a commercials driving
license (aka family) I will wait on that one. This also lead to a study of the
patriarchs. And the lead to me getting lost in the old testament and learning
that Ephraim will crown the others and that there will be a temple built in
Jersualem where the son's of Aaron will worship. And learning that a
Patriarchal Blessing is way cooler that I imagined, and that the whole lineage
things really awesome and that its personal scripture and all that! So pray
about getting your Patriarchal Blessings or read them again!!
Anyway
this week we met some funny people, not cool just funny one guy told me I need
to buy an apartment to rent out because I knew how to do the basic plumbing and
electric... I just helped him switch out a broken light switch and tighten a
faucet... He thinks I am a genius...but he is adamant that he is agnostic,
which is kinda an oxymoron... Adamant that you can't be adamant that there is a
God... But as we walked away he shouted out to us "but I am not atheist!"
So that was pretty funny. We also met a dude with a tattoo 1 only 1 but it was
on his face, and it was a cat nose and mouth on his nose and mouth... weird.
Hmm.
That's all that I can think about talking about, we had a ward party yesterday,
and the branch has unanimously decided that I must marry a Lamanita, they say
if I don't it will waste my Spanish and I will never get good food again! There
are a little less unanimous about which country she should be from but so far
it looks like Peru, Ecuador, or Colombia. We will see what happens!!
haha.
Any
way stay strong and push on!!!

Parque!!
