Lieve Familie,
Before you read this
email I want to invite you all to go watch the video called ``Because He
Lives´´ on the LDS page. You will feel the spirit.
Thank you all for the emails, love, support, and
care that you show unto me and that I feel from you each and every day. Despite
the busy, crazy and-at some moments-stressful week, I have felt the love that
Heavenly Father has for me on a daily basis. It has been humbling and so
edifying to know and to feel loved. There truly is no other greater feeling
that this life can offer. I am grateful to have the Gospel in my life.
This week has been great. We had a great training and
everything turned out to run smoothly. I am very grateful that Heavenly Father
helped Elder Torniainen and me. Following the training we spent the rest of the
week just getting rained on, biking in the cold, enjoying the mission life, and
working hard with the missionaries in their own areas. We were also able to see
some great success here in Rotterdam Zuid- we now have 3 baptismal dates and
still re-activating some of our beloved friends. Witnessing people come unto
Christ motivates me to do likewise- I have along way to go. Miracles happen
everyday I was able to witness a lot this last week.
A dear friend of mine emailed me and brought something
back to remembrance that I read just a couple of days ago with regards to “trust”-
“The Lord loves everyone, but He doesn’t trust everyone”
And also...
“It is a better compliment to be trusted then to be loved”
I have been very engaged in learning what
the Lord thinks about trust and how I can improve my trust in him. I tend to be
weak in that aspect, but I am learning lots and striving to become better.
General Conference is coming up and it is my plan to trust in all the words
that will be spoken unto us. To apply them into my life and show the Lord that I
trust in Him. It is also my plan to show the Lord that I am trustworthy and I
will strive to do that in all aspects of my life. I desire to feel not only
loved from Heavenly Father, but to feel that He can trust me no matter what the
sacrifice may be. I believe that building our trust up in the Lord brings many
blessing into our lives and I know that it brings more happiness and joy into
our lives. “..Whoso trusteth in
the Lord, happy is he.” (proverbs 16:21)
He lives peeps and #becauseHElives we may all experience
joy in this life and hope for an eternal joy in the life to come. Gospel is
true.
Miss you. Love you. Pray for you everyday. Be safe, have fun,
and Enjoy to the End!
Love,
Big Dude
