hey everybody!
another great week in wyoming! great news, elder pena and i are staying
together! we are having a ton of fun and there are great things going on here!
we are busy today so i dont have much time! but we are getting a third
companion for this transfer today named elder bagley! this is gonna be a great
transfer!
we had awesome
lessons this week with jontay and gary. they are both doing really well and
progressing nicely. it is so cool to see younger people accepting the gospel
and families accepting the gospel. because you can see the future ramifications
of this decision! they will raise righteous posterity in the true church because
of the decisions they are making right now! so cool!

One thing that
has been on my mind a lot this week is how much the things we decide to do daily
affect our eternal lives. of course not every decision will change eternity,
but often things that we do not think about play a role in how our life turns
out and if we will return to live with God again. For example, the clothes we
choose to wear, who we spend our time with, and most importantly, if we choose
to repent or not. The Savior, when He first appeared to the Nephites told them
that if they would repent, He would gather them and forgive them. Sometimes we
complicate the Gospel. It is that SIMPLE: repent. Repentance and change IS the
plan of salvation our Heavenly Father has given us. When we read the
scriptures, go to church, and say our prayers, the Spirit shows us how we can
change our lives to become more like the Savior and thereby find the fullest
measure of peace and comfort. As we repent, we change ourselves to become more
like Christ. we leave behind habits, activities, and choices that have
previously brought us sorrow, heartache, and taken us further from God and
where we want to be eternally. This is what we must do each day: read the
scriptures, say our prayers, and then try our best to try and live more like
Jesus Christ. As we try our best to change and become better, we are repenting.
that is the essence of repentance. i encourage everyone to look inward and see
what they can do to become more like Christ.
Have a great
week!
Elder Green
