My friends and family,
So as usual, not a lot of time to
write a super solid letter this week, so I will be brief. Transfers are this
Wednesday so I will have a new companion. He is Korean and I am super excited
for it. I will learn a ton more about the culture that I am sure will entertain
all of you.
So the message I have today is the
most simple, but most difficult message that the Savior ever shared. "Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be?
Verily I say unto you, even as I am."
In our quest to be
truly happy and find lasting joy in this life, the path is simple; do the
things that Christ did and become like him. We are to do more than just follow
his rules, we are to develop His attributes. These include faith, hope,
charity, humility, diligence, obedience, honesty, gratitude, virtue, knowledge,
and so on. If any of these attributes cause you to cringe a little bit when you
hear it, (I know some do for me) it would probably be a great time to
work with Heavenly Father through prayer and study to improve our weaknesses. I
know that as we develop these attributes, we will be happier in this life and
have more self confidence in our relationship with God.
I love you all,
Elder Coleman
