A Missionary's Work: A Long Hard Walk

9/18/17

Hey guys! hows it goin' out there? Its great here with water everywhere because its rainy season, yay! It's fun to go running in the rain going home for the day, though its not fun having soaking socks all the time. So that's why We Scouts are always prepared (haha), so I have an extra pair with me always ha. 
This week was fun and get to walk a ton and we are always laughing because my companion is a talkative guy,ha! He's actually really cool and a great guy (fyi- "a great guy" in guy talk means a lot, ha). Well I don't have a ton of time so I'll share something I've been learning. This week I have listened to this great song called, "The loneliest walk" by David Osmond (I think its Osmond anyway). So I highly recommend it! It's about how there are tons of hard things in this life and lots of them are unexpected or really heavy stuff. Which is true, life is just hard sometimes, like with family deaths, sicknesses, school (ha), just a lot of things as such. But the best part of the song is about this one person we all know who has walked those paths before and felt all our pains, hardships,and sufferings. So Because of his lonely walk to feel what every man and woman has felt, he can now stand with us and support us with his compassionate arms when things get to hard and rough for us. That's one of the biggest reasons of Jesus's Atonement so that he could feel and understand us better so that he would be willing to give mercy to us if we follow him. He loves us and is there for us. He's the one in the whole world who actually understands how we feel and cares for us. So that means we are never really alone. Well the song's better ha.
