Life is so great isn't it?! I wish everyone could realize that. Like, yeah, there are hard things, and times when you want to sleep all day but man when you look at all the good things, it can be really fulfilling. There are a lot of people here who don't grasp realize what life could be. A lot of people seem really sad. It just makes me want to work harder. If only they'd listen and not ignore us when we knock on their door. Honestly, at least twice a day we have someone who we can hear inside the home after knocking but they look out the peephole in the door and then just ignore us. It's kinda frustrating. But it's alright, because, the Gospel's true and that's all that matters.
I'll put my spiritual thought in the middle this time because this seems like a good time for it. We had Ward Council yesterday and our Bishop, Bishop Liberatore, talked to us about leadership. He's a lawyer so he's really good at talking. It was really cool. He was talking about how we need to keep the sabbath day more holy and ways that we can help the ward have better Sacrament meetings. This is so important. He told us how the world is quickly going against the morals of the church. And the sabbath is growing less and less important. But then he turned more positive and started encouraging us. He said, "Be grateful that your on the Lord's side." There are going to be hard times but we are going to be blessed for our efforts for the Lord. So let's be diligent in following the Lord. This week, I am going to invite you all to prepare for the Sabbath. Between now and then, think of things you can do to make your Sabbath more full of the spirit. Then, when the Sabbath comes, dedicate that day to the Gospel and your testimony. Focus on the spirit and I know you will be blessed for your efforts!
Keep up the good work!! You're all amazing! I love you all!
With Love,
Elder Barnett
