Hello everyone one!! I get to stay in Ontario for another transfer im so
excited! I love the people here its great! :) there are so many people I want
to come back and visit after my mission hahah ive made a big list! anyways,
today I want to talk about one of God's most over looked commandments. We find
a lot of commandments, and things Jesus wants us to do in the scriptures, but
everyone tends to look over the times when Jesus tells us to "Be of good
cheer!" In the church we can see plenty of people all with different types of
personalities and ways of doing things, but one thing ive noticed the most is
that those people who are doing what they should be doing, and are striving
there best to progress, are generally the happiest. To me being happy is most
definitely in my opinion an attribute that helps us to come closer to Christ.
Its amazing how much a good attitude can affect the people around you! and also
how much a bad one can have as well. Something im kind of known for out here is
always smiling and being happy, almost to the point where people think im a
freak haha but I remember a sister Missionary from my MTC district said she had
never seen me frown, or not being happy, which I was pretty proud of! I
remember a quote by President Hinckley, which said "In all of life have much fun
and laughter! Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." Everyone wants to be
happy, its a simple fact of life. Christ himself has told us to be so. So
smile, laugh, enjoy life! if we have the attitude of trying our best to be
happy, waking up in the morning and deciding that today is going to be a good
day? odds are it will be! and always remember that the center of all happiness
in our lives is Christ, the closer we are to him, the happier we will be. I love
you all!! hope you have a marvelous week!! :)
