Well guys, this is my 100th post on Reflections of a Smart Kid. On May 5th 2011, I posted the first entry with the following paragraph: "Woo! First post! So, welcome to my blog. I'll try to occasionally update it with my thoughts on life, sports, school, etc., etc. So if you would be so kind as to check back on the blog every once in a while, it would be much appreciated. And if I'm extra boring, tell me!" My blatant awkwardness never ceases to amaze me. Oh well. Except for one early post about the 2011 NBA playoffs, most of my entries have taken on a more inspirational aspect of things. But what if I, for some reason or another, didn't have those other 99 posts to deliver the messages I would want people to hear. What would I say if I had one post to tell it all. Well, more or less, I'm going to try to write what I would say in one post. Bear with me. About two weeks ago at school we got our 20...
Hola familia y amigos! Espero que hayan tenido una buena semana. Everything in Molina is great. This week Karina didn´t progress as much as we hoped and we are going to have to move her baptismal date until the end of the month. She didn´t make it to church yesterday, but we´ll get her there next week! But yesterday we had another investigator named Hector attend Church, which was an awesome miracle! Hector is an investigator from about a year ago, but he went to live in Concepcion for a while and lost contact. But two members went and knocked on his door the other day, found him, and then brought us on Thursday. We taught a little bit and he said he would definitely be in Church this week. He doesnt seem to have any major problems, so we are going to try to teach him everything and help him towards a baptism at the end of this month. When the members help in missionary work, miracles happen! Apart from that everything else is good. This week flew by and this Saturday we are going to h...
We are the chosen generation, brought forth to the earth in this day to spread the Gospel. We are literally stakes of Zion, and representatives of God in our schools and communities. In some places of the world, faithful youth are few and far between. As the old addage goes, "United we stand, divided we fall." So as youth of the Church we need to be united. Divisions and cracks among peers only gives Satan more power over us. Believe me, I know the drama. I have best friends that are pulled apart. And they're still all my best friends, they're just separate now. I know that everyone has their reasons for these divisions, but I challenge everyone to let them go. I know that is really hard, it really is, but just try it. We can't afford to live separately. I'm not asking you to be best friends with everyone. I'm asking you to forgive and forget, so that we don't give the adversary any more power than he has now. And I know some of you have been really em...
