Hello family!
This week has been absolutely insane for us here in the office! Lots and lots of late hours and hard work. Just to let you all know, I should be in the office for another two transfers or so. 6-7 months is the norm. But time is flying past. The hermanas that I came in with on the plane left this week. WEIRD!!!!! But no biggie.
Sad to hear of the passing of Bro Johnson. Send my love to Mary. He really was a wonderful man and will be very missed. Congrats Ammon for your performance in Pride and Prejudice, sounds like a fun show. Did you get to dress up super fancy British like? Hopefully.
So not a lot to report about here in Spain. Things are going well and all is calm on the western front. For the moment that is. Soon we will have even more to do than we had before. Did find some really cool swords today on Pday. Really tempted to buy one. Probably will :) They were only like 30 euros, which is super cheap. And they´re from Toledo, where all the best steel in the world comes from.
So without much to report this week I´m want to share a spiritual thought. The Lord asked Peter three times, " Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" and every time Peter responded, "Yea Lord thou knowest that I love thee." And the Lord responded, "Feed my sheep." The Lord desires that we keep his commandments, that is the way to show our love for him. But what are the two greatest commandments? Love the lord thy God with all thy heart, and love thy neighbor as thyself. If we do not love others, we are not obeying the commandments. In fact we are not obeying one of the greatest and most important commandments that the Lord has given us. I know it´s not always easy to love. But as we strive to do so, and to overcome our own pride, that is when the Lord gives us HIS love for that person, and we begin to see them with a new light. I challenge each of you to try that. We all have people in our lives that deserve more love. Love them more this week. And remember "They do not love who do not show their love" (William Shakespeare). So show the Lord your love by showing someone else your love! And speaking of love, I love all of you. I feel your prayers and want you to know that you are always in my heart. Keep on going! Keep moving forward! The Lord is by your side to support you when you stumble, just keep pressing forward!
Have a wonderful week!
Elder Charlie Flint
