Email from Elder Lofthouse 5/26/15 The Great White North

This week was awesome!!  R got baptized on Saturday, and was confirmed on Sunday.  It was so awesome!  This week we also got 4 investigators on date.  It was awesome.  They all are going to get baptized within three weeks of each other.  I can't wait!!  Last Thursday was mission conference.  Elder Brent H Nielson of the 70 was there.  It was awesome.   We had a training on being safe and secure when using our mobile devices.  It was super cool.  We Found out we are getting our Ipads on June 17 or thereabouts.  So we had a pretty good week last week.

This week I learned a lesson in perseverance.  We will not go anywhere in life if we do not keep going through the hard times.  As Rocky Balboa says "Life will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.  Life's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and just keep going."  I agree 100%.  If we let it our trials and our challenges will take us out of commission forever.  We cannot afford to be taken out.  We must keep pushing and fighting and improving and progressing to the very end.  Life won't take a time out, so we can't either.  If we put our trust in the Lord and do what he wants us to do, life will be a little bit easier to deal with.  Trust in Christ, and push through with your eyes on the prize.  Eternal Life.  That is what is at stake here.  Go for the gold!!

Have a fantastic week!
