What Drives you ????

       So what drives us two elders around right now? That is a good question, and about a week ago, it was our own two feet. We are just walking around the city of rochester, down all the streets and making friends with all the people that we see. Honestly, people are pretty nice over here, almost all of them say hello back to you, and you never have to go far to find someone to talk to, just a couple yards or so ha.



       Recently we have had an upgrade from the slow pace of walking, to the speed racer pace of biking. I'll tell you what, biking can get you places a whole lot faster. And on those hot summer days you can actually get a little breeze blowing on you, ah so nice:) But even yet with a bike, it is hard for us two to get to all the places that we would like to go. Sometimes the people we want to see are all the way over on the other side of the city, and the only good time to see them is when you are this side of the city. So it is hard. We often are able to have the assistance of the amazing Brother Robinson (B-Rob) to help us get to the places that we need to go, especially those places at the edges of our area. Without him it would be hard to do what we do. So I'm super glad we have him with us!!


     But why would I write about something that drives us;  because we are about to get a car in our area. Talk about an upgrade! Now we will have four wheels on the ground, and be rollin' nice ha. We will have the assistance from the ward and still be able to get around to so many people that we wouldn't of had a chance otherwise. So we have had an upgrade in what drives us around and leads us to do our work.'




     The real question now is, What drives us? And this time I'm not talking about a car, or a bike, or even our feet. What is the real force that drives us to do what we want in this life. For some it is money, for others power, for some just because they love it. And that is what I really hope we will be able to get to. To get to the point where we are driven by the fact that we love it. So all in all, the qoute of the day is "Love it!" When you love what you do, and you make an effort to love the people that are around you, you will find that success is met with happiness by our sides. Jesus Christ was the leading example in all we do, and what was something that he always taught the people, to love one another. To do the work without needing it to be to our advantage, but to do the work because you love it and you love the people. The Savior made the Atonement for us because he loved us. Love is what drove the work forward, and is what is always going to drive the Work forward. Seek for the best things in people, strive to find ways that you can love them, and let that love be the thing that drives you to the success that you seek.
