This week has been so crazy. This weekend we had a Baptism! Neither Elder Smith nor I know her very well (Elder Smith got here just 3 weeks before I did), but we planned and scheduled everything. There were a TON of Missionaries at her service (at least over half), and some other Elder did the baptizing. I did have to play the piano, and man that was rough.
I'll be coming home soon! Half-way through August. It is a weird thought, but true nevertheless. And reminding myself that I won't always be here doing this often sparks a sense of energy and urgency. Is this how I want to finish my mission? Is there anything I missed? If I have any regrets, how do I spend my time to compensate? Do I FEAR the end of my mission?
It has made me reflect over my past, and helps me decide what I want to do for my future. I think a similar exercise would be wise for all of us. Life isn't forever. If I were to die today, would I feel fear? Disappointment? I mean, really think about it. If you feel ANY sense of urgency, or pressure, or dread, you and I have some changes to make NOW. Some possible points to consider: a change in focus, a change in perspective, or a change in character. Live like you were going to stand before God tomorrow. With that knowledge, what changes would you do today?
I love you all! See you next
week.
