So, I'M BEING TRANSFERRED TO REXBURG. I'm sad to leave Jackson, but I'm excited to go. I'm SUPER excited for cheaper groceries! (yes, Tim Decker is excited about groceries, the day has come) I can't believe that I've been on my mission for 7 1/2 months. That's nuts. Yesterday we spent a lot of time going around and visiting people and taking pictures with them. 

I've been changed SO MUCH (for the better, at least I think). I now notice how self centered I used to be. I notice how focused I was on myself and what others did for ME. I notice that I think about others much more. So, to all those who my pride may have hurt, I'm sincerely sorry. Please forgive me. When I come back, I'll try to make up for everything.

Again, as usual, I've been thinking a lot about Jesus Christ. How great is He? He will always be there for us. He loves us more than we could ever know, individually. He loves every one of you more than you could ever realize. He will help you through everything. EVERYTHING. Al that you must do is LOOK FOR HIS HELP. All that is necessary for success in life is working hard, and Spiritualing hard. Work as if all depends on you and pray as if all depends on God. Study and apply the scriptures to your lives. Then all will be well with you, and you will be blessed.

I testify to each one of you that Jesus is the Christ. I testify that he cares. I testify that He suffered and died alone, so that we will NEVER have to be alone. His love is infinite and eternal. His church has been restored in these days. I declare with all my heart that this is the true church. Come and see it for yourselves, and you will come to know it's truth as well. 

Honoring God
