Live Up To YourPotential

So, I am sitting here trying to remember something great that happened this past week that I could share with you. But I can't think of anything out of the ordinary. It was a good week. We worked hard, and we were blessed for it. We have a good teaching pool, and we get to meet lots of great people daily. Such is the wonderful life of a missionary. But actually one thing I focused on this week that really made it a good week was trying to become more childlike in my service as a missionary. Not childish, but child like. I really focused on becoming more like the Savior in my thoughts, words, and actions. Towards everybody. It really made a difference. The week went well, and we met lots of great people. Focusing on becoming more trusting in the Spirit, as a child trusts their parents, really is something. It is not easy at times, but if I just trust the Lord to lead me in this work, guess what? Things go better, and it is a lot more enjoyable. Imagine that? Something I have always heard but never really understood until mission is that we need to be independently dependent on the Savior. Does that make sense? We are in charge of our salvation, completely, independently, but there is absolutely no way to gain salvations without the Savior. I think, or what I have learned is that to be totally independent and free and in charge of our lives we need to be totally 100% dependent on the Savior, and His gospel, and His teachings. Without Him we are nothing. Literally nothing. But with Him we can become everything, even Gods and Godesses. Well, anyway, those have just been some of the thoughts floating around my head this week as I have been striving to become more childlike in my service. So do something for me, think of a child and all the ways they really trust and dependent on their parents, and then try to emulate that in your dependence on the Savior. It will make a difference. Try it. The Lord will bless you for it. This life is much easier if we have divine help along the way. Well, hope that helps some of you out there. Thanks for your prayers. Have a great week. Remember who you really are, and live up to that potential.
