Hello my dear Family and Friends who are adopted family,
Very first thing I will say so you don't take this wrong: No, I did not have any injury or anything that caused need of a REAL 'Heart Transplant.' Only one of my nature and whole life perspective. We had our Zone Conference and Interviews with our Mission President this past week. How could I transfer into one email all that was learned? It can be summed up on the most minute level:
link >>> Build or Destroy Your Eternity <<<
"The selfish individual has a passion for the vertical pronoun I. Significantly, the vertical pronoun I has no knees to bend, while the first letter in the pronoun we does." Be the best or be the lowest: Be the Meekest or Be the most Selfish.

Unchecked selfishness stubbornly blocks the way for developing all of the divine qualities: love, mercy, patience, long-suffering, kindness, graciousness, goodness, and gentleness. Any tender sprouts from these virtues are sheared off by sharp selfishness. Contrariwise, I cannot think of a single gospel covenant (such as Baptism,) the keeping of which does not shear off selfishness from us!

I found out I will not be coming home in October, but rather, November.
We are working with many amazing people, showing their faith despite impossible circumstances, to follow Christ their Savior; their 'Friends of Friends', through Baptism into a new life. It is the hardest work on earth sometimes to join the Savior in being rejected, attacked, misjudged, despised, turned upon, persecuted, but it is the most rewarding--for the souls we serve are family and our motive is love that can never die, joy that forever lives, faith moves mountains, the Spirit of the Lord opens doors, Christ lifts us every day to press on higher and humbler.
We went out with a prayer in our heart and helped some people in our area, and after finding someone who needed help and enjoying hard work with them while laughing and having fun talking in Fijian, and building a strong friendship, they wanted to know our message. We shared it, and they were very touched.
Just simply go out and love people, have fun, and share matter-of-joyful-factly. Stop complicating life.

This is a simple email with a simple message.
That message is,
Life is hard! Dig in! Enjoy it! Press on! Listen to God: link >> Living Prophets Speak! Be Teachable and meek, lowly in heart and easy to be entreated by the Lord, for you and I are never done changing and reforming, repenting, reshaping, realigning with God!
Keep the fire burning. There is joy at the end of every worthy endeavor we persist in and hold out through.
If joy is our choice and Christ is our route--it is sealed and sure
joy will be the journey and destination. Are you devouring EVERYTHING life has to offer?

in the name of Jesus Christ, the only One our eyes and efforts and priorities in life or eternity belong on,
Amen.
