Elder Goss---W15: Baptism Tomorrow!! (Dec 17, 2019)

Okay, sorry if I've confused anyone; this IS week 15. I'm really good at getting them out of order. I just calculated that just a few days ago, I passed the 100 day mark. That's crazy! It feels like I've been out a lot longer. 

This week has been pretty fantastic. I got to give a blessing in Spanish, which was extremely broken but I really felt the Spirit there, and that was awesome. 

Yesterday at the Temple was very sweet. We talked to this one Muslim gentleman, who was very nice and intrigued by the temple. It was cool to talk with him. 

Guess what?! Ana is getting baptized tomorrow! CRAZY! The date has been jumping around a bit, and she wanted to do it before Rhodes left (which is in TWO days!). We haven't seen Armando in a while; we don't really know what to think of him. He really enjoys our teachings, and talks about how much he wants to get closer to God, but he is rarely there whenever we've come by recently. I don't think that he's trying to avoid us, but we can't help him if we can't teach him. 

Anyhow, I was asked to spontaneously share a spiritual thought, at the temple, and I thought I'd share it with you. If you want to be happy, you've got to BE happy. You have to do things that a happy person would do. You have to think like a happy person. Talk like one. A big lie that the world likes to say is "just be happy." But you will never be happy if you aren't living happy. In my opinion, happiness is less a choice and more a habit. But it starts with the choice to change the way you live. The way you see the world. 

Thanks so much!

See you soon!
