This week was a busy work week. We were always running about. I forget a lot of things that need to be done until it gets almost too late and it stresses me out a bit sometimes, but I am working on it. I am trying to be a more effective planner to make sure I don't forget as often. I was able to be present at a really spiritual district
Council. That is a meeting we have as missionaries where we discuss together ways that we can improve and ways that we can increase our abilities and confidence in sharing the truth we have cherished.
Anyways, at his meeting, the question was posed, "what things have motivated you to change?" That question gives some really good insights. I feel like I myself have been motivated to change as I see my failures. As I realize too late the chances I miss to help someone it makes me want to be better next time. On that note, I'm so grateful for Christ suffering in my behalf so that I can have a next time. So that as I look at those failed opportunities that I am given, I don't have to live with the feelings of guilt. Every week at church I feel
refreshed, forgiven, and renewed in my desire to follow Christ. The sacrament (bread and water) is the key for me to finding this respite.
I think back a lot on the quote, "I have wept in the night for the shortness of sight, that to somebody's need made me blind, but I never have yet felt a tinge of regret for being a little too kind." How true that is. Let us all go out of our way this week to be a little kinder. To not miss a chance. You just might change the course of someone's
life.
Love you all,
Elder Pace
