"There Ain't No Rest For The Wicked, And The Righteous Don't Need Any"

That is a quote President Brad Hall gives us when he beats us out the door every day. He wakes up at 4:00am and goes to bed at 11 every night. The man is a machine. 

We went on 4 exchanges this week and it was so dang fun. The Elders we have in the mission impress me so much. We called 3 new ZL's and I went with 2 of them, I learned a TON on how to be effective and how to continue being positive when people/ missionaries are jerks.

Because we had all these exchanges we didn't have a lot of time in our area or time to prep for zone conference. Elder Norman and I are now scrambling to be ready by 8am tomorrow. Prayers would be appreciated :)

I'm so glad I got to talk with my dad yesterday. We got to talk about fun stories from my early high school years. For all you youths that may read this, when your parents say, "one day you'll look back at me and thank me" It's absolutely true. 

My dad knew his duties of Presiding, Providing, and Protecting our family. I am especially grateful at this time to what he provided to me and to us as a family. Some may think, "to provide a home, food, clothes, car, and a fun lifestyle" 

Those things are all great but they are "Treasures upon the Earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt" (Matthew 6:19)

I'm so glad my dad set the example of showing where your heart needs to be. Everything he does is to help our family live a Gospel Centered life. He always has counselled with the Lord and sought what would be best for us. He prioritizes the "treasures in heaven" (Matthew 6:20)

and those "Treasures in Heaven" were provided to us in our home. 

Having a strong, happy family is his highest priority, and he KNOWS the only way to accomplish that is through living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

I want this for my future family, I'm grateful I can follow in the footsteps of my pops. 

LOVE YOU DAD!
