To all,
Hello this was such a fantastic week! A lot of blessings through diligent work. I love working in this area and with my companion here. Our mission president, President Jones, has recently been talking to us about binding ourselves to our goal. Binding ourselves to act that we might accomplish those goals. This aspect has helped us out so much, and it showed last week.
With that idea there are really two parts to having success in this. The first is setting inspired goals. Not goals determined from expectations that others have for you, or goals that you think people would like to hear but goals from God that you are committed to accomplishing.
And the next part is the doing and the accomplishing of the goal. This is the hardest part hahaha. Because it takes a lot of effort. But as we bind ourselves to act, knowing that God has set a goal for us to accomplish we will accomplish it. The completion of this will stretch us and we will be better and we will see the hand of God more in our lives. We will become the people that God wants us to be. And we will accomplish more in our lives.
Having said this, the actual miracle isn't in the completion of the goal itself. But it is what we learned along the way. We can feel more accomplishment here than in the result, and regardless of the completion of the goal it is our effort we put into it that matters.
I can honestly say as I have bound myself to my goals, I have become a better missionary and it is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Hope all is well! Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas music dance parties!
Elder Walter
