Keep On Keeping On!

dont worry dad, im not even close to being trunky. ive got a lot of battery left. even though every one of the missionarys here don´t mind telling you how much time you have left......every time they see you. man, loren, its a tough one. i remember a little while back listening to a talk by E´Holland. he talked about the atonement and said that many people had asked him, "if the church is true why don't people come running to the church?" why is it always a fight? he then said that we had to feel a little bit of what the savior felt. and my favorite part-- BECAUSE SALVATION IS NOT A CHEAP THING. esta demas. it is just like mom and dad said. and just to tell ya'll, mom and dad, your words helped me too. here in this area we haven´t yet had a baptism and have gone through about a dozen golden investigators. i don't know why. i know that i can always do better. but it is like dad says. there are times when you just have to hold in there. just. this last week we had some of the lowest numbers we have had here. my mind turned to swimming. and this is why i hate the saying that only perfect practice makes perfect. i remember days when i couldn´t swim with the best technique because i was so tired. but that was when i grew and learned endurance. i feel it is the same. thanks for every thing and we will talk to ya'll later. chou
