This week I wanted to start by talking about a Micheal Jordan quote that I heard this week. It says "I've
missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I have been trusted to
take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over in my life and that is why I Succeed."
So when we fail do not think it is a bad thing it is just a time to realize what we need to work on. If we
just skated through everything and never failed we would never learn. To be honest it would be a lot
like Satan's plan. That is why failure is not a bad thing we need it so that we can return to our Heavenly
Father. So the next time you fail or do not do something up to what you think that you should,
remember that it was part of Heavenly Father's plan for us to fail and get knocked down. This way, we
learn to get out of the situation we can be stronger. We can always learn something when we fail and
that is what I hope we all do. This week when something does not work out think what can I learn from
this. What could I have done better to have made it work better and what can I do differently?
I found out that I will be in the same area next transfer. I will be with a missionary that I do not know a
whole lot about, but I am excited to get to know him. He will be the District leader and I am a little sad
that I am not the District leader any more, but it will be nice to take a little bit of a break and just be a
normal missionary for a little bit. I have not been one of those because I was being trained, training
and then District leader for two transfers so it will be nice to take a break from all of that for a little bit.
I am excited for the next transfer and I love you all. This past week we have been working on a new list
for the branch so nothing really all too interesting. Have a good week and I love you all. Study your
scriptures every day and pray
Elder Sproul
