Or it will get stolen. Like mine did on Monday morning. Some people just really need to know directions to somewhere so badly, they decide to break into three separate cars in one parking lot to get a few GPS units. Definitely not for monetary reasons, just needed 3 different methods for finding a route from "Point A" to "Point B". Right...
Well anyway, it just goes to show you that things will happen to you when you least expect it, so it's best to be prepared. This goes for our spiritual lives as well! You never know when temptation or tragedy is going to hit, so the best you can do is stay focused on what really matters and learning from the mistakes that you will make.
Happy Easter, everyone! I am having a lot of trouble thinking of material and things to say to put on this blog, luckily lds.org is at my disposal and I have lots of videos and things to choose from! Other than that quite obvious statement, I hope we can all remember to focus on the true purpose of celebrating easter.
So, we finally have a nice sunny day here in the southern tier district of New York State. It is great to see the weather start to finaly change... Hopefully it'll stay this way, though we do hear that more snow is on the way on sunday. Keep your fingers crossed! Transfers are a week from Tuesday, time continues to fly. Ugh. Writer's block... How to clear it... write more... don't know what to say... We have a baptism coming up on the 16th, we are hopeful that it will go great. From what I hear from my family and cousins, I will be one of four missionaries out in the field at the same time in our extended family! AWESOME! Jared Liebelt, who will be serving in Germany at the end of this month, Aaron Liebelt, who is now in the process of putting his papers in, and Spencer Wood, who is also working on his papers. So great, can't wait to hear more about that.
I hope everyone who reads this will continue to work towards Christ, and follow President Thomas S. Monson's advice from General Conference, "If you haven't read it (The Book of Mormon) yet, read it!". He had a great talk during Priesthood Session.
The Church is true, Jesus is the Christ, and Joseph Smith is the true prophet of the restoration. Just like the leaders of the church, I would encourage everyone everywhere to share the gospel with everyone.
The Church has always had a huge emphasis on families, so I would like to share this short ad with you all. It's ok, it's got a great message.
Hi, I'm Elder Chris Wood, and I am a missionary for the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter Day Saints, serving in the New York Rochester mission. I was in Buffalo for a while, but got moved about six weeks ago to Wellsville, NY, where I have been doing my best to teach the gospel to anyone who will hear.
