Be yourself

As people we always look at others and try to see what we can do to be accepted. Sure this can work but the question I propose is this. Is that being yourself? You see this group and you act this way then you see this other group and you act this way. I admit I was that way for a while. As I have been on my mission I have learned who I am and am still learning who I am. So take the time and find out who you really are. When you do, be yourself. It will be great. Being yourself is what people like and when you are yourself you will do great.

It's great

 So one way you can tell of how long you have been on your mission is by looking at your shoes. A couple of months ago I went to tie my shoes and this is what I noticed.

I said to my self oh man. Now I have to be extremely carefull in tieing my shoes. It so cool to think that the 15 months I have been out I have worn out shoes. It has been an amazing experience. I have met so many people. I have taught the gospel to many people. I have come to love the Book of Mormon.

As a missionry you get worn out many times. You want to come in and just go to bed a night. But you can't you have to plan for the next day. If you don't the day won't go well. So it's kinda like this shoelace. If I was to come in and say ahh I am just going to go to bed. Well then the shoelace would break. So I come in and plan and the shoelace stays together for as long as it can.

The Church is true. It is amazing being a missionary. When things get tough just keep going and you can make it. You will be able to hang in there until you can get new shoelace and buy a new one.
