Que tal!
Alright, our week has been incredible and
super enlightening. Stoked to hear that Kaley and Danny are naming their son
Fox! One of the games we've been playing here at the MTC is trying to guess
others' first names just by what they seem and look like, and sometimes I'm
right on and others I couldn't be further from reality.
Anyways, I've been focusing on the idea of
agency in my studies and the Seventy that spoke with us yesterday spoke about
agency as well. Agency is so important to Heavenly Father that He allowed a
third of His children to leave and "lose their first estate" to
preserve it. If we are given this incredible chance to choose for ourselves,
what are we doing with that gift?
I have been reflecting on what I have done with
my agency and I know that I can do so much better. I want to live in such a way
that my will is completely aligned with my Heavenly Father's and He can trust
me. As we were speaking within our district last night, I had the thought that
I want my obedience to the commandments and covenants to be reflexive, never
having to worry about what decision I am going to make when it comes to moral
decisions.
Besides that point, I'm so excited for
Thanksgiving tomorrow and gratitude is something so simple that we forget to do
daily. The Lord blesses us with so many things, big and small, DAILY and we
fail to express our gratitude for them. While being on a mission I have tried
to be more thankful for my blessings, especially for my progress with the
language and learning of the doctrine. As I have done that, I have seen the
Lord's hand in my life more and more, which has made me more grateful. It's an
awesome cycle!
Alright, well, I hope you all enjoy your
Thanksgiving and I encourage each of you (whoever is reading this) to kneel
down at your bedside tomorrow evening and pour your heart out in gratitude for
all of your many, many blessings to your Heavenly Father. I love you all!
Durante manana, estara pensando sobre ustedes y
orando por su felicidad.
Con amor,
Elder Wardle
