01.18.2016 - La Arte de no Ser Trunky y Perseverando Hasta el Fin

Hey there!

So, as many of you probably already know, I got my flight plan this week.  It's kind of weird but I made a promise to myself back when I was with Elder Lachuma FOREVER ago that I would never ever be trunky  (that is, let the desire of going home affect my effectiveness in the mission.)

I made the same resolve with my mission life that I made with my entire life:  When I end, I'm not going to die and live for awhile sitting in a chair or a bed.  I'm going to progress until I fall over running.

The time in the mission is too good to waste.  Yeah, I'm tired, but that's nothing new, I've been tired and sore for the last two years.  The only difference is that I'm tired of being tired, but that's nothing to cry about.

The gospel of Jesus Christ talks a lot about enduring to the end.

"...but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." -Mark 13:13

I believe that that applies in all aspects of life.  We have to endure to the end, if we don't, it's like standing in line in Disneyland for two hours and leaving when you only have 10 minutes to go.  ¡Necios!

We can't think that we only need to obey the laws of God of a certain time, we can't give up. Enduring to the end is until the END.  If life, work, family, trials, the mission, everything.  This principle applies. So, that is what I will do, endure to the end.  I will see you all the end of March, no sooner.

For now, I'm gonna go work my butt off some more under the Lords forging fire.

I love you all!

See you soon

Cameron
