It is in the doing that brings results

I have heard this a few times during my mission, but I just wanted to talk about this a little bit. You hear people say a lot of the time that he is really good at this or he is really good at that. When you think about it all the people are good at something are people that just do it. If you want to be good at math it is because you do the homework and the work necessary to get the results. If you want to be good at scripture study read your scriptures. If you want to be good at praying then start praying. If you want to be a good member missionary then talk to your friends about the gospel. It is all in the doing that gets results. Do not think that someone is just better than you at something. They are better than you at something because they did the doing in the past to get the result that they are at today. Sometimes it takes a lot of doing to get the results we want, but we will always get the results that we want if we do the doing that takes to get us there. It is dependent on if we our willingness to make the sacrifice to get to the results.

Other than that we meet a less active named Radik this week and he said that it was time for him to make a change in his life and come back to church and he said that he would come to visits with us 2 times a week. It really is super cool that sometimes having time away from the church helps you realize what you have been missing. He was a super cool guy and knew the scriptures fairly well. He said that he could not come to sacrament every week because of work, but that he would be able to come when work did not call him in. It was a blessing because we do not have a lot of males to go on visits with us and now we can visit some more people with Radik. 

That was basically the highlight of my week and I am super excited to work with him. I know that The Book of Mormon will bless you life and if you say I am not good at studying the scriptures, just give it a try for 10 min a day and if you can not find 10 min in the day obviously you do not want to blessings that comes from the doing. Prophets have said it plain and simple if we are doing our reading we will get blessed. So I will leave you with that. I know this might come across a little harsh, but it is true we really will get blessed just for reading and showing God that we want the results. I love you so much and have a good week.
