So far so good on the weight. Ive been about the same all the way through, and hopefully that will continue throughout my mission. I guess we'll see. but at least i can exercise in the morning. We get fed every night for dinner, unless someone cancels, so thats pretty nice, and for lunch I normally have chow mein noodles. Its pretty good, its cheap, and easy to make.
I'm starting to get better at talking to strangers, although sometimes i tend to say the same thing to people, so i'm working to mix it up a bit. Another thing ive been trying to do is memorize more scriptures, thats always been hard for me, but i know i can do it and i'm excited to get started.
Thats a great scripture, I love mosiah 4! its so good because it gives such a good explanation as to the joy that you can receive by obeying christ and making efforts to change and improve. But you're definitely right, all the joy comes from god, so its always important to keep him in mind and be thankful.
Lets see, its hard to pin point my favorite scriptures in the book of mormon, but one of them is 2 Nephi 4: 26-35. Its one of my favorites, because its helped me in hard times. But there are so many more that are just as good. I finally understand what it means to feast upon the scriptures. There are some days i just wish I could study all day, there's so much i want to know and understand. Because I know if i have a better understanding of the scriptures my teaching will improve and i'll be able to help people more effectively. Sometimes its frustrating when people won't listen, but I knew it would happen and when somebody actually does take the time to hear us, it makes up for everything else, i'm so thankful for that.
Right now i'm in 3 Nephi. Sometimes its hard to do my personal study cause i'm studying for other people, but ive been trying to keep it up, and slowly but surely I'll finish it. sometimes its hard to believe people who say they've read the book of mormon and don't believe it. It just doesn't make sense Because everytime I read it I get that much more convinced of its truth and it makes me want to read more. Who knows though, I guess some people just aren't ready.
Love, Elder Farnsworth
