hey everyone!! way crazy day today
so no time to email! long story, no time to tell it! so I will just leave you
with a thought. things are going great here, working hard and finding new
investigators. wish I had time to tell you some experiences this week, but I
will just have to tell you them next week!

agency is not the ability to choose
to be free of influence, but the power to choose to which influence we will
submit ( god or the adversary)
the saying or though to live with
no regrets is really a gigantic joke. what does it mean to live with no regrets?
it means to live without sin. Jesus Christ was the only person to ever truly
live with no regrets. What most people mean when they say they live with no
regrets is that on a consistent basis, they give up things of great or future
import to fulfill a momentary and impulsive lust or desire. it means they have
no self-control.
living with no rules does not make
you free. living without established impediments or restraints does not mean
you are free. all it means is that rather than living by God's constraints you
will create your own impediments by the choices you make. those impediments
will be more permanent, and more difficult to live with than the simple,
love-inspired commandments given by our all-knowing Father in Heaven. His
restraints will, in time, open many rooms full of potential growth and
happiness. No doors will be closed to those who submit themselves to God's
will.
maybe I will get to expound on that
idea next week. think about it though! those who live with no rules eventually
end up living with many impediments, all of which they brought upon themselves.
the good news is that Jesus Christ can remove the stain and sin from those
negative choices. We can be made whole as if we never messed up in the first
place. that is the good news of the gospel and of Jesus Christ. accept His
atonement and let it work in your life. do not compare yourselves to others.
its futile. it weakens your faith. everyone is always doing worse than they
look like they’re doing. just love everyone.
