Baseball

     Yesterday we were in the backyard of a friends home and and they had a small ball that we were tossing around, and we had the bright idea to grab ourselves a large stick and play some backyard baseball. This is the best sport ever, just chill and relaxed and having a good time. I didn't hit a home run, but I made sure that I pulled a babe ruth and pointed out to the fence like I was going to smash it. I swung with everything that I had, and connected...... and right at the pitcher! Ha it was close but not gone.
  This got me thinking about playing college baseball over in Washington, and how much I love to play the game. Also how I was the only member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). I always had people asking me questions about why I didn't drink beer, and smoke with the rest of the other guys, or why I didn't do other things of that nature, and why I went to church every sunday that I could. And to think that now I am serving a two year mission in rochester, New york for my church and helping the people here out. I see now the things that have led me to this point in my life and it is a truly amazing experience to be serving the Lord!!

Everybody already knows the truth, they just need to be reminded..

If Necessary, Use Words

There has been a quote said many times that I have heard a lot in the last while. The quote goes "Teach the gospel at all times and if necessary use words." Now that is interesting, how do we teach the gospel without using words. President Monson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, often in conference will tell stories about the experiences that he has been through. Yet you might think that a prophet would rather teach the people the words they need to know and not just stories. But if really think about it, Some of the best writers have a knack of showing the story in their words instead of just saying them. By using examples of how to live the gospel, President Monsons paints us a picture of how we need to live our lives and the way that we can teach others the gospel by even just using our actions. Maybe our efforts to teach people about the gospel of Christ might be better aided by showing how to live it by our actions to others than just by our words of how to live it. Offer the Helping Hand..
