Aloha family!!!

Another week come and gone and here i am again happy as ever getting to hear from my beloved family members.....awww ive missed yous hard ae! hahaha for reals its been along and busy week but keen as to go even harder for another one. it was great reading your guyes letters this week...alot of good stuff happening ae...and a few surprises i see....moving to kaaawa???? ae????? stuff that!!! frik imma be coming home to a shack!? lol.......haha na jokes hard...i totally understand why and where your coming from and i fully support it....sacrifices is a very special topic to me! lol no but for reals...mum you said something that i liked you said..."this really is a short sacrifice for a long term reward" and its true....here on the mission this topic of sacrifice gets thrown around alot...you know alot of people talk about us being away from the family which is a great sacrifice right....all the mission rules which of some make it seem like we have to sacrifice alot, and just missonary work in its self...having to walk all day every day makes some people look at what we do as a huge sacrifice....but let me tell you guys the way that i look at sacrifices......they are opportunities! opportunities for what??? opportunities to grow, opportunities to strengthen our testimonies, opportunites for us to willingfully let the lord bless us....in the end these sacrifices which are looked at as giving up something valuable are ways that our loving heavenly father uses to bless his children. the mission up to this point in my life has been the hardest thing that ive ever done.the biggest sacrifice that ive ever given... and in the beginning it felt like a huge sacrifice with no reward....i couldnt understand how not seeing my family for two years was going to bless me, i couldnt understand why missoinary work had to be so hard, but knowing that i was sacrificing all this for the lord was the only reason why i kept doing it..no matter the size or difficulty of the task i always wilingfully did it....as unadequate as i have always felt i have always trusted in the lord and done what ive had to do....sacrificed where it was needed and family in the end i have come to realize that i havnt sacrificed anything....matthew 10:39 says "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."the lord has only blessed me beyond that which i can imagine thru what i thought was me sacrificing alittle bit of sweat, homesickness, and sleep for him. i have come as you could say found my life here in chile. just as i thought that i was serving the lord, i humbly came to know that he has only been serving me. opportunities for more blessings is the way that i see it so sweet as family....hahaha it will be alittle bit weird but sweet as.....lol soorry for the story time but thats our lesson for this week. hahaha
