Love one Another

Family,

First things first Kinley does look pretty darn cute with her new hair cut!! She is growing up way to fast! 

Congrats to Mr. Liam for getting into the Chinese program that will help him so much in the long run! 

Dad you should seriously go back to school, it would help you so much in the long run and you could get a job that you like, so you wouldn`t just be going to work every day you would be going to do something you actually enjoy!!! 

Yes, of course I am always playing soccer in one form another whether with kids in the street, or in my free time on Mondays.

Congrats to Kyle also for completing the Army and I can`t wait to hear about his new adventure in school and I wish him nothing but the best! So when is he going to get married?????? (; 

This past week for me was seriously absolutely crazy with everything, rain, changing areas a little bit, meetings like crazy, etc.  So I was insanely busy this past week but I loved every moment of it! 

This week I have been thinking a lot about loving people and how I can love people more or develop a love for these people here. One thing that I have had a hard time with was loving people that are outside of the family, and or loving them even after they did wrong to me, etc.  I have prayed and studied this a lot while I have been here on my mission. Because here I can`t tell you how many times a day I am rejected, mocked, outcasted, and told where to go, etc. One scripture I read was in 1 John 4:19. (Read porfavor) How do we know that he loved us or loves us? How can we feel his love? Its because He served and is serving us! Its the same with people in our lives! We need to serve them with all we have, no matter what they say or do to us we need to serve them! Because ¨That which we serve, we grow to love¨. I testify that if we do this you will grow to love that person or those people.  It is what I have done here and it seriously has made all the difference, I love these people with all my heart and it kills me to see them doing wrong and rejecting me when all I am doing is trying to help! I know that in time they will love me and the Lord. Because when someone serves you and does things for you, they can`t help but love you! Its a fact! If you don`t believe me put it in practice for three weeks and you will see the difference in your life and that person! I promise you that, if we serve people they will feel your love just like you feel the love of the Savior, because He loved us;  First we love him back, and then they will love you back! This I leave with you in the name of Jesucristo. Amen.
