OLA MINHA FAMILIA!
So this week was super good. We had normal
days Monday and Tuesday, and then Wednesday for new years we got our
pday. on Wednesday we got to play soccer, and I got your package mom! Thank you
tons again. I am slowly eating one reeces a day, and its heaven every night!
so the pictures i sent are at soccer opening up my
package, and then elder Clifford directing the truck to back up, he looked like
a boss so I thought I’d throw him in there, and then a really bad picture of an
Angolan hearse. it’s a pickup truck hearse.
Anyways, this was a very normal week, sorry I dont have
alot to write, I said most of it in the recording. Me and elder Banta are just working hard. We dropped almost all
of our invesigators his week because none of them were doing anything to
progress, so were looking to find some elect. I’m super excited for contacting
this week to find those people who really have a thirst for the gospel and don’t
know it yet. I love working with Elder Banta. transfers are a week early
because we will be receiving three new elders this next week on the 15th, so
I’m excited to see what happens I feel like Ill probly die here in Benfica, as
in finish my mission, but president Merrill is very very good at throwing us
all curveballs in our transfers, it makes it really fun because we never how
whats gonna happen, but the Lord does, and the revelation is received and it
happens the way it’s supposed to, not the way we think or want, but what the
lord wants.
So I’m just truckin along trying to grow each day. Dad,
you wanted my new year’s resolution, so here it is, I got this quote from sister
Merrill’s desk, I dont know who it’s by but it goes a little something like
this>
"If you always do what you have always
done, you will always be what you have always been."
So with that in mind my new years resolution is to be a
new me. to be a better me. I have always in my life, to be completely honest,
felt extremely mediocre in everything I did. sports, school, callings, and for
the last two years, a missionary. SO this year and from now on, I am going to
be extraordinary at the few things I choose. I want to have an extraordinary
relationship with my Heavenly Father, so I will be exactly obedient in keeping
the commandments and serving him and others, and I will be extraordinary in
school and work by putting myself 100 percent devoted into those things, among
others. I’m gonne live my life at an extraordinary level, so I can be an
extraordinary person. If that makes sense to you all, there you go. if not
another scripture describes my goal.
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as I, and Your father
in Heaven are perfect."
No I wont be able to be perfect, but I will perfect
myself everyday!
So anyway, with a new year, comes a new attitude and a
new outlook on life. I have complete 2013 the YEAR of my mission, the only year
in my life I will spend every day as a missionary. I am so grateful for
everything i learned but that would not all fit in an email, so ill add to it
and share in a few short months.
Don’t do what you have always done, so you wont be what
you have always been, be better!
I love you all! Have a good week, and happy new year!
com amor,
Elder Montgomery
