Be Great!

If you know me, you probably know that I love most sports. I could easily spend all day watching football, soccer, basketball, or most other sports (probably not baseball, sorry). I love the action of the games, but I also enjoy learning about athletes who excel as people and stand out as strong role models. One such athlete for me has been Chad Lewis, who was a tight end for BYU and the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't think I ever actually watched him played (he retired from football in 2005), but many years ago I read his memoir, Surround Yourself With Greatness . The details of the book have mostly faded from memory, but the message has recently been impressed on my mind: to be your best self, you must surround yourself with greatness. This advice carries several different meanings. First off, we must fill our time and our efforts with great things. We can't expect to shine if we waste our time doing things with no real value. We should actively be pursuing our goals and dre...

Hola hola, This week we have had a pretty good week. There have been ups and downs but we are working hard. We were about to put baptismal dates with 4 different people, which is always a positive moment, but already some of them are facing big challenges and doubting what they want to do.

April General Conference

     Every six months, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS or Mormons) holds a General Conference broadcast to all members teaching basic doctrine from the Prophet and other leaders. Over 100,000 people attend the two-day event live in Salt Lake City, Utah while it is broadcasted over satellite connections, TV, and internet to 175 countries in 94 languages then later distributed across the world in print, video, and audio forms. Basically, General Conference is a giant meeting of the Mormon Church. The 183rd Annual General Conference occurred this weekend, with 27 different speakers with varying messages.      The messages of General Conference are basically modern Scripture to the LDS Church. Speakers are not assigned topics, but ponder what needs to be heard and prepare talks to give.      One of my favorite talks from this weekend was given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a retired German pilot, who serves as the 2nd ...
