"Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others. By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

This week, we finally started getting to know more about the sector and area. It was really great to be less lost and surer of where all the streets finally are. We still get in a few rough areas, but it isn’t too bad.

We also had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a world-wide broadcast to all the missionaries in the world about how we can better teach repentance. It was a broadcast that hasn’t been seen for about ten years, and for the first time in ten years, we had a worldwide broadcast. I really liked we learned about simplifying the teaching process and taking everything down to the basics. The way Christ taught was simply that we must repent and be baptized. That's not a bunch more than the basics. I find it simply amazing to take part in this wonderful opportunity to be a missionary. 

I’m grateful that we have this opportunity as missionaries to talk to our families and do something I love which is talking about the truth. God is our loving Heavenly Father. He loves us and has commanded that all people repent and be baptized in the name of His beloved Son. I love you all, and I hope that you have a great week!
