Rearrange

      We are all free to choose whatever path we want to go on. The Savior has asked us that we make the choice to follow him, to rearrange our lives if they are on the wrong track, turn the course, and make it right. If at anytime I feel like I am going the wrong way, or just making no progress at what I am doing, look for a change, or just rearrange your priorites to where the things that you want to accomplish most are the things that are first in your life.

      Why I thought of this principal today, ha funny story :) We were on our way over to visit one of our investigators, and had decided that we were going to watch the movie The Testaments with him. When we got there, we realized that we didn't have it. So we called a member that we knew, that lived right next to him. Amazingly they were not home which is unusuall. So we called them and ask when they are going to be back in about 30 min, but just climb through the front window because it was open. Ha so the first time in my mission, well I guess the second time, because once I locked my keys out of the Niagara Falls Apartment and had to climb a tree to get to the deck to get into the window, but that is a whole other story ha. But for the first time, I climbed through another members window to get in their house to get the DVD out. Now the real funny thing about this member is that they really like to joke around and have fun. So we decided to play along a little bit.. :) we decided to rearrange all of the furniture in the whole house. so when they walk in they wouldn't know what is going on. So for about five minutes, we rearranged the whole house's furniture and just had some fun. We grabbed the movie and went over to the investigators home, and we were there for about 20 minutes before the member came back to her place. Before they got back, my companion and I tell each other that second the member gets home, they will be over to the investigators home in the snap of a finger. And sure enough, we saw them walk into the apartment, and instantly they came right over to us and went off on us. Of course it was all in fun, and they really weren't that mad, but it made for a funny moment one of those times that you remember and look back on ha. After that we went back over and fixed up the house again, just as it was before. We had a good lesson with the investigator too, and it was a fun visit to that part of the city.



     This is my advice, If you seem to be stuck and things are just not going the way you want, Change and Rearrange!! It is just silly to keep going in the same direction and the same way if it is not working for you. Every person has their own style and their way. Their is always the Goal that you are trying to reach, the end sight. But if you can't seem to reach the goal, look for a new route. Pray for imspiration from the Savior through the Holy Ghost, because if you are looking for help, that is the best source to find it. have fun, and in the words of a great song, "Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change."



Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.  (2Nephi 2:27)
