"Happy Canada Day one and all!
I cannot believe that I will miss two Canada Days. I really should have planned
better and missed two Christmas’s instead. Las Vegas is having a heat wave. I
heard that it’s supposed to be one of the hottest summers in years. Turns out
that this cold loving Canadian can actually handle heat pretty well. We ended
up teaching the Restoration on a doorstep in 110 F. weather, and well everyone
was dripping sweat everywhere I was just feeling a little clammy. Blessing from
above. One thing that I never stop learning is to just love people. Really the
best way to help anyone is by giving them Christ-like love. Everyone needs that.
I cannot force anyone to read or to come to church but if I care about them
they will understand that it really isn't me that wants them to read or attend
church but Heavenly Father. People will better be able to understand the power
of the Atonement if they are shown love. It would be hard to comprehend
Christ's love for you, a person that you haven't seen face to face (well in
awhile); if you haven't had a person you know show love to you. I have realized
that if I really love those who I meet that Heavenly Father will know that I
care about His children, and He will tell me what to say, or what to do to best
help them. One of the greatest things about a mission is that you get to learn
everything, and relearn everything super fast. It's like learning under a
pressure cooker. Missions are the greatest tool to help prepare you for
eternity. Love you."
