Improvement in Every Moment of Life.
(Picture I took on Saturday, of armwrestling giants in the clouds of Fiji)
Oh, how much we gain by committing to live the life our Heavenly Father highest believes and intends for us! He knows we're capable. He'll empower and enable us as we give ourselves to His will--and making there be no difference between our will and His, His work and ours.
This is the great test of life: Will we choose to have limits, or will we break all of them through the freedom that comes through obedience and yielding ourselves wholly up unto our Father's BETTER AND AWESOMEST version and plan for us? His way=joy that never dies, exaltation that has no limit, Christ-like life, now and in eternity with our Eternal Families, our Heavenly Father and all those we love.
Our way=emptiness and hunger that never is satisfied. Discouragement and endless searching for meaning and deep lasting happiness. Never realize our full potential, never attain it, no eternal progress.
The great test of Life is an invitation. An invitation to come and be completely one with Jesus Christ and our personal, loving, Eternal Father. Will we lose our life by keeping and withholding it (giving ourselves grievous limits,) or withholding nothing, and giving ourselves completely over to His better plan for our lives--a Plan that makes us Even As He Is.
The choice is ours.
This week has been too good!!
I spent the whole week in other areas, with other people besides my own companion. The Zone Leaders and Assistants to the mission President, came and did exchanges with my companion and I. They are the highest missionary leaders in the mission. They came and we taught each other mindblowing things! I have grown perhaps more than I ever have at any other point in my life, these past weeks on my mission.
We're seeing more success than we can handle. At the same time, we're experiencing so much joyful opposition and what some would silly call "dissapointments." Many fall-through appointments, and people that choose other paths than that of following Jesus Christ and being Baptized. We just hand it over to the Lord and choose joy, and press on super joyfully work, work, working non-stop! I love choosing joy!!!There's no end to the things I could tell you Heavenly Father taught me this week!! No end!! Wow!!!!!
I am prepared to open my mouth to literally anyone and everyone Heavenly Father desires me to bless and lift and love.
I have learned that the most selfish gift is the gift of service. For when we serve others, we ALWAYS get more than those we serve get. Whenever we bless another, it blesses us more than it does them. Whenever we teach, we learn more than our learners. Whenever we are grateful, we receive EVEN more. Whenever we shine light, it's brightest close to the source... us, the shiners!!! What greater principle!? Go be selfish by being selfless!!!!

Transfers are happening this week, which means I will either be leading this area, or going to a new area. Heavenly Father has prepared me to do His work, one with Him, to change the eternities of His children here in Fiji. Their exaltation and eternal life and fullness of joy in this life and the next, is my goal. To bring them the ultimate, lasting, and truth and meaning and happiness, through this, the true message of the Restored fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our day.
The Lord Himself personally leads and directs His church, through modern-day living Prophets.
Here, in order to keep the Sabbath by going to church, you "have to" break the Sabbath by paying the bus driver to work on the Sabbath.
I was told by Heavenly Father, to exercise faith that, if I asked for Him to part my little Red Sea, He would provide a way for me to keep the Sabbath Day holy by not having to pay the bus driver.
Each time I did this, Heavenly Father miraculously answered me!
It was always an impossible situation where I thought there was no way around having to pay for our ride. But, Heavenly Father opened the way every time!
Pray for help to keep His commandments, and He'll enable you.

We lost our key to our house and had to go without our house being locked up. The door had to be left open, and we had to go teach lessons. We knew we were about God's personal and eternal work, so we just asked that His angels and He, watch and protect our house. We went out and weren't back till late.. much much later in the night. On our way home, I was wondering if we really were in His hands and if our house would be alright, and if He was with us in this work. He then told me to look to my left, and I saw this and was blown away with amazement and He spoke great things to my heart and mind.
When we got home, our home was perfectly untouched and no one had broken in. We fell down and praised Him and thanked Him with full hearts, and now, full unshakable testimonies
I am a personal witness that He lives and this is literally and fully truly, His work. It is true. This gospel is from no man, He Himself restored it and leads it and us this day.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

It's a man, holding the moon in the palm of His hand
