HELLOOOOO!!!
Wowww.. I'm SO glad that everything worked out with Blair! That is
SO awesome! Tell them congrats for me and that I wish them the best.
That is really great! Caden is great ha ha those pictures are nuts!
Everything is going really great. We had some great experiences
these last couple of weeks! The coolest thing that I wanted to share is
just that a few times over the course of 3 weeks I really have felt the
Saviors love and appreciation for what we do
as missionaries. I really do know that He loves us and if we work hard,
no matter what He is pleased. When I left Barrie, I felt His love and
His gratitude. When we helped some people in our zone, I felt it as
well. I know that the Lord is SO happy with what
we have done and that is hands down the thing that makes being a
missionary worth it.
I know that the Priesthood is real. I have experienced the power of it and have seen lives change and really have come to know that we are beyond blessed for having it in our lives. We have been really lucky to be able to grow from experiences to exercise our priesthood.
I want to add a part into this letter from President Scott's this
last week... It really is a great one and helped me realize a few things
about life.
"I heard a story recently that some of you are probably familiar
with. It illustrates the value of the time we are given each day. I will
reference part of it below. It says, “Imagine that each morning your
bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account
for your use. However, this gift has rules, just as any game has certain
rules. Rule 1) Everything that you don’t spend during each day will be
taken away from you. You may not simply transfer money into some other
account. You may only spend it. Each morning
upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for
that day. Rule 2) The bank can end the game without warning; at any time
it can say, the game is over! It can close the account and you will not
receive a new one. Ask yourself what you would
do with this wonderful gift. Would you buy anything and everything you
wanted? Would you buy things for your friends and family? Would you even
buy things for people you don’t know? The options may vary but you
would undoubtedly try and spend every cent every
day because otherwise it would be gone forever. In reality we do receive
a similar gift each morning. We can’t see it like the money in our bank
account but it is very valuable and precious. It is our time. Each
morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as
a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is
not credited to us. It is forever lost. So, what will you do with your
86,400 seconds?” "
LIVE LIFE TO ITS POTENTIAL!!! ITS GREAT :) :) :)
The City has been great as usual. I'm really really happy to be
back. We have been playing like a game, that you have to speak with 2
people EVERY bus, subway and train that we take... MAN its challenging
sometimes but its SO fun ha ha. Its made it a good
way of measuring that we are working hard, rather than just going
through the motions!
Sorry this letter is short, nothing too crazy, but I really don't
have much to say other than that I LOVE being a missionary and am so
grateful for the chances Ive had to see the Lords hand in my life. I
love the Savior and know He is real, and feel true
sorrow for the people who don't have Him in their lives, because His love
is real. I know it. I have felt it, and hope that ALL people can feel
it as well.
Have a good week! Be happy and positive! its worth it :)
Forever and Always,
Elder B Beyer
