Do You Want a Miracle?

Ni Sa Bula Vinaka, from the Island of Fiji!

This is one of the houses here around my area!  This is an example of what Fijian Houses look like!  With how much it rains here, a house like this isn't a bad idea.  These fantastic people decided to build their house as a Boat.  

I think I'm going to do this when I get back to America and start my own family and make a house.

Too bad American building codes are ridiculous and make it impossible for one to build anything like this back home!  

Here, you just ask the village chief for a piece of land, and if he grants it, you're free to build whatever weird thing your heart desires! 

​Everywhere I go now, I greet people as I pass them and when I see them, like this:
"Bula, (or moce, depending on the time of day,) luve ni Kalou!"  

Which means, "Hello, child of God!" 

If this is one of the greatest, truest, most uplifting of all eternal truths, and the one that is the most worth understanding and teaching, and the one that inspires and lifts us the mosteverytime we remind ourselves of it... Then why not greet everyone this way?  

Remind the world, and each divine soul in it, of their eternal and grand origin, destiny, worth and potential. 
DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

DO YOU KNOW YOUR POTENTIAL?

It's Awesome!!! 

​I've seen miracles literally every day of my mission.  There hasn't been one single day where I couldn't see Heavenly Father's hand undeniably, awesomely, and unmistakably! If you ask Him to show you how His hand and love have been in your day, and then let His Spirit show you, you will find so many things in your day where He made Himself obvious.  

He loves YOU.  

I testify Heavenly Father loves you.

Look for His hand.  I testify that it's literally everywhere!  

I have decided I will bring the gospel to the entire nation of Fiji.  How will I do that?  By not doing it>>>

>>>>By letting Heavenly Father do it through me!  Not me doing it--HIM doing it and just using me as the channel by which He does it.
I will do it the way He does all His ministering and blessing of His eternal children:

One by one.

One at a time.
Loving, Serving, Blessing, & Ministering to Individuals.
Through taking advantage of literally every opportunity my Heavenly Father gives me--and doing it by His enabling and strengthening power.

Thus, I will reach His FULL potential for this mission and these 2 VERY short years--and not just SOME of His potential and vision for my mission.

Whenever we ask for our Father's help and strength, He gives it.  Trust His love.  Give yourself all the way to Him, and awesome things happen!


These lizards are everywhere in our house.  They act like dogs.  They bark, wag their tails, and playfully bite each others' heads.  They walk around on our ceiling, and randomly fall with a loud "SMACK" while we're studying.  

They're the Fijian version of the Squirrels back in Virginia!

Go get to work on something that will have an eternal differnece.  Some small act of kindness.  Share the gospel in beautiful and simple ways completely and only motivated by love.  Pray.  Read the Scriptures.  Smile. Write in your journal.

For, God chooses His while they're working;
But, Satan chooses his while they're idle.

Because of and thanks to, and most importantly through Jesus Christ, we have the same agency(power to chooose,) and potential as He.  If we follow someone, we arrive at the same destination they arrived at. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will help us reach literally all our potential if we live for one joyful purpose: to be completely one with them.

We can take in and become any good quality or characteristic we desire.  Any good and great and noble quality and characteristic we see in the people around us, or of whom we read about, we can be and have all those good qualities!

Every hero we have.  Every prophet of any dispensation.  Anyone in our neighborhood whom we admire.  We can have those good qualities.  We are free to choose to become anything and everything we want--and we can reach Heavenly Father's full vision for who and what we can fully become as His son or daughter.

Pick an attribute or characteristic or quality of someone you admire--and pray for help to make it a part of you.  Then, practice it.  Act as if you already possessed that attribute, and you'll become it.  

We are created with this capabilitiy.  For God has said in the New Testament, and in the Book of Mormon:

"I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father in heaven is perfect." _3rd Nephi 12:48
"What manner of men aught you to be?  Verily I say unto you, even as I (Christ,) am."
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."Matthew 5:48

He isn't asking the impossible.

He is inviting us to believe He can make of us, what we cannot make of ourselves.

Let's accept His invitation!

Become every good quality you see around you. 
Become all you can become! 
Ask for every good gift.

Heavenly Father invites us to ask Him for every good gift and to develop all our unbounded  and limiitless potential.

This gospel makes it possible to reach all of it.

This is more than worth traveling 12,872km/8,000mi for 2 whole years to share with the Children of God--these people of Fiji!

​You don't just have permission to shine your brightest & reach your full potential as a Child of the greatest Being in existence--your Heavenly Father--but 

it is yourDESTINY to.
