A Missionary's (Awesome) Work: Grateful

10/2/2017

"Hey, you guys!!"- Goonies movie. 
Its been great here in the Phillys and a great experience. One of our missionaries in our district just left and we got a new one, Elder Walker. Rueben if you read this he's from your school (the tall and skinny guy, ha). He's sweet. His first day he bought a goat and killed and skinned it and we're going to have barbecue tonight! Besides that we've been rock'n and rollin' all day long all the way to our beds at night. I have never been a deep sleeper until the mission,ha! 
 
Anyway with my little amount of time I'd love to talk about something I learned today. I have been wanting to learn more about and gain the trait of Charity lately (which is pretty much just loving everybody, like Jesus). So while in deep thought in the jeepney today, I remembered about gratitude. So I started naming things I am oh so grateful for and immediately after I saw the other people's faces and started to think about their potential and how they definitely have a part in adding to this world and have great divine potential too. Now I just can't help but think about how we can impact so many by one simple thing of good. I love them so much and just want to help them become better and become part of their divine potential. 
 
Love you all seeya next week and make a list of 15 things your grateful for every day this week and see youself change too.
