Hey everyone!
This week was a good one! We were
super busy and we had a lot of disappointments but if I have learned anything
on this mission here in Korea it is that we can still be happy when we are in
the midst of difficulty. This is because I know that even if we have some
difficulties now, in the future if we try to do our best, we will eventually
succeed and be happy. This belief comes from my belief in a God who rewards
those who follow his commandments and try to do those things that he asks us to
do.
Recently when teaching people I have
realized that a lot of people (myself included) forget some of the most basic
commandments that if we kept them, we would be able to stay on a path to happiness
and peace. I hope you take some time to read them and think about the 10 Commandments. They are for our benefit and they are for our day as well. I hope
that as you study them you will find ways that we can all be more obedient and
better people. These are not rules with punishments attached to them. They are
guidelines that lead us to safety and peace with eternal blessings along the
way. I know that if we try to keep them, we will be able to live happier
lives.
