Week 6 letter!

WELL HELLO THERE.

I mean, you could say it was another nice week.

I learned a lot this week about something I need a lot of. It’s gonna take a lot of it to get more of it. I know that if I continue to use a lot of it I will be a better person for the rest of my life... PATIENCE haha. Everything will come in its due time, but learning to be patient will help us learn a lot more. It’s like a cycle. The more patient we are the more we learn, and the more patience we acquire. It’s super tight.

I have realized that God has a timeframe for all of us and that regardless of what we think we know, He always knows the best. He loves you more than you can even comprehend. He blesses you with struggles, and also happiness, so you can grow. 

I have the strongest testimony of endurance. God will never give us a challenge larger than we can handle. Never. I know without a doubt in my mind that every struggle is only for our benefit, and that if we endure them with positivity and patience we will see the blessings pour from heaven upon us. The key is trusting in God and being patient in all things. I can only imagine how patient God had to be with me over the last 18 years of my life. We must be willing to do the same for Him.

All I gotta say is I have the best mom on the whole entire planet. Everyone at home please go give her a hug for me. She deserves the world.

So long story short I ended up with an extra suitcase. I had no clue what I was going to do with it and was praying for a way I could get rid of it. Last week an Elder from Mozambique came and he showed up with almost nothing. This Elder is without a doubt the happiest person I’ve ever met in my life. We all call him Elder Feliz hahah. I felt prompted to ask him if he needed a new bag and when I did he was so happy and just kept saying I love you I love you over and over again and it made me start dripping from my eye sockets. The Spirit was so strong and when I took the bag to him I popped in an extra white shirt and McBride put a tie and some socks in. Thats what it’s all about folks. If you feel like crap, go love someone. If you are having a rough week, or month, go love someone. It is the cure for any illness. 

I am so freaking ready to go into the field. I have a firm testimony of love and how it truly is the only way to change people. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. If someone is being a tool, love them. If someone bugs the freaking tar out of you, love them. The more you love the less you’ll care about what bothers you, and the more you’ll see God and angels manifest themselves in your life.

Everyone go listen to wake me up when september ends by greenday.

Be yourself nerds. (:

Love,

Elder Roskelley
