That's All, Folks!

Hey children of a loving Heavenly Father.

It has been about 2 weeks since I returned from serving a full-time mission in Tahiti.

Incredible.

Love is the trick. You have to learn to love the people you serve. You only get credit for what you do if it is motivated by love. 

TAHITI is a small island with thousands of coconut trees, dysfunctions, pounds of rice, beautiful people, perspectives, and ways to love. Charity is the pure love of Christ. If we learn to love those around us, we become more like Him. He is love personified. 

The gospel of Jesus Christ is very simple. Faith that He is who He says He is. Repentance is realizing that we all make mistakes and we need to say sorry. Baptism is when we're forgiven and washed clean. The gift of the Holy Ghost is the constant guidance of the Holy Ghost, who is a spiritual personage sent by God to testify of truth. Do all of that for the rest of your life with the goal of becoming perfect, like Jesus Christ is perfect.

I have no more doubts because I know where the truth is found. It is found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know that there is a Divine Creator, a Supreme Being, who is God. He is our loving Heavenly Father who watches over us. Prayer is talking to Him. He sent his Son, Jesus Christ, as an example for all of us imperfect people. 

I will continue blog writing, at http://cocobean-detailsmatter.blogspot.com/ if you're interested in my current happenings.

Bursting with love for this beautiful life and the people in it. 
Say your prayers and finish "in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
