It has been awhile


 How is the rest of the world doing? man it is good and sad to be back i miss my little island with no phone signal, stamps or internet haha. It was definitely my favorite area so far it was a great time and i learned so much. I can't quite speak fluent yet but i can pretty much hear fluent and i have had my testimony on hard work and obedience built up so much! There is one experience i want to share when we met with an investigator on this island. Solid investigator started out not wanting to listen and now everything is so different but it is just a experience when we were talking with her after a lesson and she saw a picture of the mountains in Elder Buhler's Bible and she asked about them. She goes how tall are mountains? "Oh theyre huge soo tall cant even think of anything to explain well" and she goes "So theyre as tall as that maneaba (a big meeting hut probably about 25-30 feet tall. and we tell her no no no it is waaay bigger and she persists with so it's like 3 of those maneabas stacked on top of eachother? "haha no no no it is soo much bigger and she refused to believe us as we all kind of had a good time about it and laughed. but we realted that to our vision in this life and the life hereafter. yes we know that there are mountains in america, yes we know that there is eternal life and rich blessings in store in the life after but do we really know how big? We can feel so joyful right now for what we can see but there is so much more that we can't see. It's bigger that we think we know it's better than we think we know and it's been promised to us by our father in heaven. I know that the plan he has for each and everyone of us is bigger than we think it fits us perfectly and we cant fully comprehend how much we are loved. Our Father in Heaven loves us and He knows the joy and happiness that awaits us if we will follow His plan. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.
