Let's move forward!

Hey familia.
So I´m still alive, no worries. I just got a little sick, but now I´m okay. And yes I know that an urinary infection is more common in women, but it does, on occasion, occur with men too. I am not ashamed :) And no matter where the condo is, I´ve learned to walk and use buses, so if I need to I can do that. Or maybe I can work on getting money and then a cheap car. That would be awesome. Wait, what?! DeGray´s back?!?!?! AHHH!! Well of course he is, I come back in 4 months! That´s so weird. Is he doing Les Mis? He´s awesome. I miss him. Tell him hello for me and give him a hug. So, dad you are correct I have not been sending as many epistles as I was. The main reason is this, I don´t have time to think! :) It´s all work work work. You always say that you want to make sure that I am focused on the work. I´ll tell you something paps, I don´t have time to think about anything else. And that includes my life and progress at times. I need to be better with that and get a better balance on that. But since you missed my words of wisdom so much, I´ll give you some :)
In church yesterday we were talking about getting a testimony and conversion. As we talked I started thinking about a comment somebody made. They said, one of the adversary´s greatest tools is to keep us from changing. As I thought about that I reflected on a lot of people I have met in my 20 years of life. There are a lot that I´ve heard say things like, "I´m not smoking or drinking or doing awful things like that, I´m just not doing some things like going to church or mutual or things like that." The adversary doesn´t have to make us start smoking or drinking or doing terrible things, he just has to stop us from progressing. "That´s just that way I am." "I´m older now, I can´t change now." It´s a lie. It´s a lie that comes from the adversary. We can ALWAYS change. "But I´ve sinned so much, I don´t think the Lord even wants me to change now." "I´m too low, I can´t get up now" All lies. We can ALWAYS change. And we NEED to. We always need to be changing. We always need to be bettering ourselves. Even if we´re doing well, we can always do better. The adversary does not need to bring us down, he just needs us to stop moving forward. So let´s show him and move forward every day! I love you all, keep up the good work! Let´s move forward!
Con amor,
Elder Charlie Flint
