FAMILIA Y AMIGOS!!! :D‏ October 12, 2015

HEEELLLO! :) SOOO it has been a pretty good week. We have some people progressing to baptism. And I couldn`t be happier! HAHA Actually I could because for reasons not known to me. My comp has to change areas this Wednesday... GOOOOSH! Haha No I am just hoping that my new comp will be just as good! HAha But ya things are good. So this week I had to teach the class of gospel doctrine. I mean I have had to teach it many times. And on the spot. But this week they assigned me to do it. So I got to study it. And the topic was........ The MILENIUM!!! Haha And for the first time I realized that I didn`t know like the details of the Milenium. So I got to study it in the book called Doctrina de Salvacion. And Man!!! It is going to be sooo cool! I really want it to come now! It was also a really fun class. Like when I have time to prepare the class it is fun! We kind of had a skit to show about temple work. I had my comp be a person named Habib mohamad from some Arabian Country that never heard about the Gospel in his life. :) And we talked about temple work. And I don`t know it was just a fun class to teach. :) But that is really all that happened. I got bit by a little dog. And may have accidentally kicked in the face... But just a little like very soft. :) But I got my package! Woot Woot! Thanks for the shoes! And the treats! It shall be awesome to have them. So I don`t have much time but I want to share what our President wrote us. Super cool enjoy! :) I found this story that is a good point of how we can become the best we can be. It is in the details of our lives. The years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds and what we do in the moments that make us what we are. Several centuries ago, the emperor of Japan commissioned a Japanese artist to paint a particular species of bird for him. Months passed, then years. Finally, the emperor went personally to the artist's studio for an explanation. The artist showed a blank canvas on the easel and within fifteen minutes had finished a painting of a bird. It was a masterpiece! The emperor, who admires the painting and the great skill of the artist, asked why there had been a long delay. The artist then moved from his canvas to his cabinet where he kept his things. He took from his cabinet armfuls of drawings feathers, tendons, wings, legs, claws, eyes, beak - virtually all aspects of birds, from virtually every angle. He placed these in front of the silent Emperor, who nodded in understanding. The magnificence of any set can never be greater than any singular magnified detail. To have a great life, fight for an excellent year. Within that year, fighting for an excellent month, and within that month, fighting for a great day. On the day, fighting for a good hour. A great life is the sum of many great moments! That's what happens with our mission. The years are composed of months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. As we work to make those seconds, minutes, hours be the best. Then our whole mission will be a success. We will remember this as one of the best times of the formation of the character of our lives. We can apply this to our lives people! Take advantage of everything! Love ya guys! And my comp says he loves you guys as well! :) Elder Sladers :)
