"Whatever comes, comes."

Good line right?
I thought so too.
It came in a letter that I received today from my friend Alex.
He was telling me some funny stories about how, more often than not, life seems to take us by surprise. Now these surprises can be good, bad, ugly, exciting, funny, nerve-wracking, sad, happy, beautiful or any other adjective you can think of.

An example:
When I found out that I was coming here to McMinnville, you can bet that I was super surprised! Excited to be going to a town that I've spent the last year hearing nothing but good about, scared that we were both going to be new in the area, sad to leave the members and friends that I had grown to love in Hermitage, nervous for the unknown.

An example:
When I found out that I had been called to serve a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Nashville, Tennessee, I was surprised.
Excited. Nervous. At peace.
When I found out that I was going to be learning Spanish there, the surprise doubled. [And the peace went away..]

An example:
When the spirit told me that I needed to serve a mission, I was surprised. [And reluctant.] It wasn't in the plan. I was supposed to go back to school. I didn't like that surprise. So I took the easy way out-- I didn't listen. I kept on going on with life as if the Spirit hadn't told me anything.

But surprise! Here I am! Full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Some days I think that it would have been easier if I had just kept ignoring those promptings to serve. But then I remember that Heavenly Father is a whole lot smarter than me. He knows what I needed then and He knows what I need now. He knew exactly who I needed to meet and what experiences I needed to have. He knew the person that I was, and He knew that I needed to be

better.

braver.

more humble.

more patient.

more loving.

more accepting.

more Christ-like.

He knew that I needed to be all of these things so that I would one day be accepted into His presence. He knew that I wasn't good enough then, and trust me, I'm still not good enough yet, but if I had never accepted His will in the first place, I wouldn't be the tiny bit closer that I am right now. That's what brings us back to Alex's thought: "Whatever comes, comes." I know that when we accept the plans that Heavely Father has for us we'll also receive the blessings that He has for us.

So I say, "Follow the path that Heavenly Father has for you."

Alex says, "Whatever comes, comes."

And Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, apostle of the Lord, says,

"Come what may, and love it."

I'd say we're in pretty good company :)

10.

Pues, hoy no tengo ideas propias, entonces, vamos a usar las ideas de un apostle del Senor.

Diez Axiomas para Guiar Su Vida: por el Elder Hales
1. No es el obstaculo que cuenta, sino como superarlo.
2. Perseguir sus metas con todo su corazon, alma, mente y fuerza.
3. Desde una chispa pequeña puede venir un gran fuego.
4. Nuestros puntos mas fuertes pueden llegar a ser nuestras mayores debilidades.
5. El fracaso es uno de los mas grandes maestros, si tenemos la fe necesaria para aprender de ella.
6. No es la forma de empezar la carrera, o cuando usted esta en la carrera. Lo que es importante es la manera de cruzar la linea de meta lo.
7. "Si quieren ser ricos, ahorren lo que obtengan. Un tonto puede ganar dinero, pero se requiere un hombre sabio para ahorrarlo y de la misma para su propio beneficio."
8. No puede saber el voluntad de Dios sin el ejercio de su albedrio y llegando a ser uno que renda sus cuentas.
9. El cambio mas las cosas, mas permanecen igual.
10. El templo de Dios es la mejor universidad.

Una entrada un poco raro? Tal vez.
Pero estos puntos me ayudo? Si.
Van a ayudarles tambien? Yo se que pueden. Espero que se los dejan cambiar.

Well, today I don't have any of my own ideas, so we're going to take from the nuggets of knowledge of an apostle of the Lord.

Ten Axioms to Guide Your Life: by Elder Hales

1. It’s not the obstacle that counts, but how you overcome it.

2. Pursue your goals with all your heart, might, mind, and strength.
3. From a tiny spark, can come a large fire.

4. Our greatest strengths can become our greatest weaknesses. [And vice versa.]

5. Failure is one of the greatest teachers if we have the faith to learn from it.

6. It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race. It is how you cross the finish line that matters.

7. “If you wish to get rich, save what you get. A fool can earn money; but it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage.”

8. You cannot learn the Lord’s will without exercising your agency and becoming accountable for your decisions.

9. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

10. The temple of God is the greatest university.

Random post? Maybe. But I don't think it's cliche when it comes from one of Heavenly Father's chosen servants.
But did these points help me? Yeah. They did.
Will they help you too? I know they can. And I hope you let them.

I believe in Christ. and I'm not the only one.

Cristo ha resucitado!

“Reímos, lloramos, trabajamos, jugamos, amamos y vivimos; y luego morimos…

"Y permaneceríamos muertos de no ser por un Hombre y Su misión, sí, Jesús de Nazaret…

"Con todo mi corazón y el fervor de mi alma levanto mi voz en testimonio, como testigo especial, y declaro que Dios vive; Jesús es Su Hijo, el Unigénito del Padre en la carne. Él es nuestro Redentor y nuestro Mediador ante el Padre. Fue Él quien murió en la cruz para expiar nuestros pecados. Él fue las primicias de la resurrección y gracias a Su muerte todos volveremos a vivir”

[Presidente Thomas S. Monson.]

Se que Jesucristo resucito y que por medio de El podemos tener todo el gozo que nuestro Padre Celestial quiere que tengamos. Podemos vivir orta vez tambien. Y podemos tener esta esperanza unicamente por medio de Cristo y su Expiacion.

“We laugh, we cry, we work, we play, we love, we live. And then we die. …

“And dead we would remain but for one Man and His mission, even Jesus of Nazareth. …

“With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again.”

[President Thomas S. Monson.]

I know that Jesus Christ resurrected and that through Him, we can have the joy that our Heavenly Father wants us to have. We can live again too and we can have this hope only through Christ and His Atonement.
