HEYY!!!!
haha I cant believe all those guys are home... yikes... I
remember like it was yesterday when all of them LEFT ha ha.. Holy cow...
If you see CJ tell him Hi for me please. I love that guy!
Things are pretty good out here in London.. No complaints from
me... Honestly I love it. I just wish it weren't so cold! Its seriously a
joke sometimes how cold it gets. I don't enjoy it.... But Hey... what
can you do right? alright... some quick things that I have to say
because I don't have much time.... this last week I got new pants :)
really good! and a new tie :) also really good! I luv um!! so thanks
to whoever I used their money with :) I got a lot of Christmas cards
too, really made me happy! I enjoy hearing from people and knowing that
they still care ha ha sounds weird but its true! You feel alone
sometimes! but that's where the Lord comes in!
One of the letters was from Dixie... It was a picture of Jesus that
Chris drew.... This is basically what I wanted to talk about... If you
look at Chris... first glance... you instantly feel so bad. That's not
being rude in anyway, its the natural reaction of the human brain..
especially because he is SO genuine and SO loving... "how could that
have happened to such a person?" Ive been told all my life that before
the accident he was a BEAST with sports too, really awesome guy, and
everything... "how could that have happened to him?".... That's the
biggest question that people get and Its a question that can really
damage someone... "why me?" But every time I look at that picture... I
think of Chris.... I think of how he has made the best of his life... I
know its not easy. AT ALL... but notice that hes ALWAYS smiling... and
that hes ALWAYS laughing... and that he makes the BEST of his life, he
brings happiness to those around him. Every time I think of Chris, it
makes me strive to be like him, he is one of the greatest examples of
the true love of Christ, another tender mercy in each of our lives.. he
brings the Spirit just when he smiles... He makes the best of
EVERYTHING... I love it. I only WISH I could be like that... then after I
think of Chris and how incredible he is... I add a T to his name, and
then I think of Christ..."why Him"... I think of Him suffering for our
sins, I think of Him being mocked, and spit on... I think of Him on the
cross of Calvary..."how could someone deserve something like
that?".... then I think of Him being resurrected... and how all of us in
the next life will be perfected... and How everything here is for our
TEST, for eternal life.... The last of all the questions should be "why
me?".... We have NOTHING to complain about. As long as we live the
Gospel and do what the Lord needs of us, we have nothing to worry about.
I'm so grateful for Chris, and Christ... and for all that they do. If
you think that you're life is hard... Look at them and see how happy
they are... We don't have any excuses. We should all be the best that we
can be ALWAYS. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has brought me such joy.. and I
know it can do the same to everyone around us. These past couple of
weeks were tough, holidays, away from home... I don't know... sometimes
they just weren't my favorite... ha ha... then I got this picture... and, I
slapped myself in the face and said "Be happy.... Be more like Chris,
and like Christ" I know that as you all do that, you will find peace. I
love you all. I know that told nothing about this week... but that's all
that I had to say... Smile. Be happy. Be the BEST you can be.Forever and Always,
