Week 103.5 Words of Wisdom & Last Interview 6/26/2018

Well this week has been good. We were able to teach some people. Not much really to say, its all the pretty good! been saying goodbye to everyone :( Sad stuff. 

I guess there isn't much to report on this week but I was just thinking what "wisdom" I might be able to share with all of you maybe?? I don't know I'm young, but I will try.

1. We all have plans and expectations for people, but we should remember to love them more than that. If they fail we should love them, if they rebel we should love them.

2. I also now understand that the easiest way to live life is living God's commandments to our best ability and never looking back. Since we now know its right, if we deviate from it, we will feel guilt and then that action will no longer help us be happy

3. repentance is changing ourselves into what God wants us to be. It is not necessarily about the actions, or what we do, but about our intent and what we want to do.

4. because I have covenanted, anything that God asks me to do through the prophet, mission president, zone leader, district leader, senior companion or whoever have been asked to minister to me I need to do because God has asked them to help me. Obviously within reason, but especially the things I don't think I need to do.

5. Faith is action and how miracles happen. That means belief+action= miracle not belief = miracle.  we will all wonder if the promises that God gives to us is true. I know that they are, but you may not so you have to put forth some action, then you will get an answer.

I was talking with my mission president today for my last interview and he was like "well elder chou what have you learned"

I have learned that a lot of churches believe that God loves us, and that Jesus Christ is the center of many many churches, but we believe in one more thing. Since God still loves us, he has given us another prophet Joseph Smith to help us again. He literally did see God and Jesus Christ. So many will say "but did it happen?" we can consult religious professors, missionaries, and a number of many other people. I can throw scriptures around and so can the opposing side, but it is only through God that you will know the answer. If we only rely on the knowledge of men then we will always wonder, always question if our answer we came up with is right, whether we think it is right or wrong, but the answers from God are undeniable, simple and powerful. I know that to be true. I thank God for trusting me enough as an 18 year old boy to come do something much more grand than I myself could ever do. See you all soon! :)
