April 23, 2012 - Hello my long lost family:

Hello my long lost family:
            Wow, you can believe I have completed 10 months yesterday?  That’s crazy! And the work is still going.  Well, first things first, CONGRATULATIONS KATIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let this be a lesson to everyone.  If she can do it in her life, then SO CAN YOU!  Remember it’s a commandment to always further your knowledge.  Mom and Dad, if you are taking at least one class in something, you guys gotta do it!  Really, that will benefit your life so much.  God doesn’t like when we just stalemate in our life and just keep doing the same thing.  We had a class this week about your talents.  We all have talents and we just have to develop them.  Go and take a class, make goals, and learn something new!!!  We always need to set goals in life and we need to put a time to end them by also.  We make goals everyday for people to get baptized and change their lives. It’s not like we just baptize people, it’s a bigger process than you think if you haven’t been on a mission.  You need to learn how to plan always one week in advance what you are going to be doing the next week.  At times, plans change but it’s better to have a basic outline of what you are going to do.  The big business men in Japan plan for the next 3 YEARS OF THEIR BUSINESS!  I recommend for all of you to plan out your time well and stick to your plan because if not, when we don’t plan it, we waste time.  I can see how much time I wasted in college when I had “time to kill”.  If I would have planned something, I would have more money and better grades, but that’s why we are here, to learn.  Get Preach my Gospel and read the part that says weekly planning then apply it in your own life.  BriAnna, you can do all that stuff you have planned if you want, but don’t plan just to do it, but how to do it and in what time span and you will work harder and get more stuff done.  MAKE GOALS everyone, it will benefit your lives so much.
            Well that’s enough of, well, what they call it here is “Machete”
            Oh, so this week my companion and I made a grill out of a fan, haha.  We are going to cook hamburgers this Thursday night because he is going to complete 6 months in the mission.  Instead of burning a tie for his six month anniversary, we are going to shake things up a little by making hamburgers on our roof.  Oh, and just in case you are wondering, No, I didn’t burn a tie at my six months, I just ate chocolateJ  I am my grandfather’s grandson.
            I showed one family we are teaching a picture of my family and 23 year old Stefany, who is living with your boyfriend and has 3 kids and is trying to change her life.  She was amazed how happy our family looked and she told me that Mom looks like an angel.  I have to agree.  When I see you guys faces, it really brings me so much joy to see a happy family because we work with so many sad ones all the time.
            Guys, I love you all so muchJ  Please listen to my counsel.  It’s actually counsel from my President who is a VERY successful businessman.  He knows Japanese, English, and French along with Spanish.  He is into international business and is a millionaire.  He says the only way he became like that was planning.  Plan your lives because if not, one day will come and you will not have done what you really wanted to do or learn.  When you get back to Heavenly Father and he asks you what you did with your talent, you will have to tell him if you cultivated it or didn’t do anything.  Think how you will feel telling him you tried your hardest or if you didn’t even try.  God loves us so much and he is always there.  I love you guys so much and I’ll see you in a short 14 months J
                                                                                                            Love,
                                                                                                            Elder Profaizer
