So I just wanted to follow up and see if anybody had an experience helping someone out.... So I have one to start out.. Well we were headed to an appointment and we got there a little early(because we have a truck haha) and all day I had a feeling like I needed to call this girl we have become friends with we will call her Suzy but so I was like well I have a few mins before the appointment and so I called her. And as soon as she answered the phone she didn't sound the same I thought I woke her up but she was actually crying because some one in her life had just passed away from cancer..
And so I learned from that experience that one there is always some one in need of us, and if we listen to the holy ghost the Lord will tell us who it is that needs some encouragement. And I just thank my Father in Heaven for the chance I was able to be the instrument to help brighten one of his children's day
So now its your turn lets here what has happened in your life and share your experiences on how you have been able to help others..

Sorry its been a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well life has been pretty good in the overall scheme of things this past month and a half it is crazy to think that it has been that long since I've written!!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry and if it wasn't for my mother I would've just gave up on this along time ago so you can thank her....
So lately I have been thinking a lot about my life you know the questions like, What do I want to be when I grow up? Where will I be in 5 -10 - 15 years from now? And as I get closer and closer to the end of my mission it seems that the more these questions are coming into my mind.
And so as a result of that I have been focusing on me rather then the people I have been called to serve and I have also realized that Satan can take something good and great and turn it into a distraction and get you to forget about your purpose.. Weather it is me as a servant of the Lord or the guy down the street doing the best he can to provide for his family.
This past conference we had great council from a member of the first presidency. President Uchtdorf said that any virtue, when taken to an extreme, can become a vice. And that is so true at least for me. If all I do is think about my life ( which isn't bad to think about what I want to do etc., just need to make sure it is under control and doesn't become a vice) then I will not be able to help those around me.. Because there is somebody out there today that needs our smiling faces to help them through a trial or something.
So my invitation to all of you is to step back and look at your lives and change something that will help you be come more like the Savior. And forget ourselves for a little bit and help those around us. I know that you will feel the spirit of the Lord in your life and and any trouble that you are going trough will be made light I promise I have seen it work!!!!
