This week we white washed into the Daybreak 5TH area and I’m training a new missionary. Daybreak has been a big change from West Jordan. It kind of reminds me of that movie where they make a kid grow up in a TV show, what's that one called? (The Truman Show). But our view right outside the apartment is amazing. The Oquirrh Mountain Temple is two minutes from us, in fact we bike past it almost every day. So now I'm even closer to grandpa now!
But we've been beginning to understand this area and it's been a really fun challenge. Yesterday and Saturday we had great lessons with strong potentials that committed to come to church, and the members they live with promised to help out as well. We also taught a man from Colombia yesterday. He used to be a player for the Real Salt Lake team and now coaches for the Monarchs, really good lesson.
In my studies I read from the talk "Becoming a Disciple of The Lord Jesus Christ" by Robert D. Hales. I was inspired to read this talk with a desire to become more charitable. Something I took out of it was that love and any emotion is completely our decision. We choose to love, but charity comes from God. I think it's kind of like believing versus faith. We make the choice to believe to bring it to the next level we have to go to the Lord. I'm very grateful we have been put here to serve in this Ward and with these people.
