Happy Birthday Cayleb!!! You are getting so old!! That is crazy! Stay awesome little buddy!
Kiamama Happy birthday! I don't remember being 6 but I don't think you will too much earthier stay awesome!
It has been an eventful week! We have had many wonderful lessons and it has been great!
last Monday we had a huge Zone BBQ some people gave my comps and I a bunch of beef and so I made Burgers for about 24 missionaries (for all those who feed us I am so sorry I did not really realize how much we eat) It was really fun we had about 3 elders getting transferred so we had a really fun Zone activity! Everyone was like 40 mins late though. Then we played flag football for a while it was really fun!
On Tuesday morning we loaded up our truck and because no one was transferring into the SanLuis Valley Zone I had the great pleasure of driving all the way up to Colorado Springs to drop of the 3 transferring Elders and then drove back down, it was a 4 hour drive one way so Elder Thompson and I had a about and 8 hours of driving, it was an eventful day we got back in time for our appointments in the afternoon as well and so that was wonderful!
President Rehm set us this quote and I really love it and want to share it with all of you. Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” The Gospel teaches us that we should always be learning, growing and changing. I know from my own 19 years of life that this is so very very true. If you try and flip a switch with out there being any power the light no matter how hard you try it will never come on unless you do something different. The commandments of God are not changing, they allow us to chose our own path and figure things out. If in life you come up to a problem, try and gain a new perspective and change the way you go about life so that that problem will one day go away.
Things are going wonderfully here on the mission the work is really hard but it is the best work I can be doing right now with my time. The Lord gives trails to those who he loves, when the hard times come as they always will trust that God is with you, the Savior is always walking beside you.
I love you all and hope that you feel the lord’s arms around you always
Elder Stewart
