 This past transfer has been going by way fast


Someone told me pretty early in my mission that there will come a day when you will feel confident in your skills as a missionary but then you will get a companion that will feel like he has to retrain you
This is what this transfer has felt like
My companion is really good and quite the skilled missionary, i am learning alot from him
It was a little humbling at first but this is good 
I always want to be the best at whatever im doing so this is a great way to help me realize i have a long way to go
So now i can put my head down and go to work 

Im still in staten island and it has been going great 
Only problem is that it keeps snowing on us... today we had to dig out our car from 3 feet of snow 
Not a lot of fun stories to put in this email because i have been really focusing on the work recently so yeah sorry im kind of boring 

A smal spiritual thought 

Last week i was reading a talk that my dad gave in my home ward and he shared it with me
This line really stuck out to me...

"In my opinion, one of the greatest experience a family can have in this life is to be gathered together in the celestial room of one of God’s holy temples. I have tasted of this experience from time to time when my parents and some of my siblings have gathered at the temple. I have been in the celestial room with children of my own."

This really hit hard for some reason, i think its because i see the people of nyc running around everyday like busy bees, and sometimes im not sure if these people know what they are working for...

Sometimes i feel like the normal everyday work cycle can get distracting and can suck people into being of this world. I dont think thats what we were meant to do here on this earth
Moments like what my dad shared should be the things everyone is working towards

Sacred celestial moments should be the main thing we seek in this life time, and my dads talk was an amazing reminder for me



Anyways thats about it 
Love yall
