I will be serving a temporary assignment in the California Riverside Mission until I get my visa. Here's my mailing address:
900 Grand Ave
Riverside CA 92504-1328
If there's one thing I've learned in the MTC, it's the power of prayer and scripture study (with discussion). Also that Satan truly is a sore loser, and because of that he will take all the time in the world to get to you. We had a discussion last night about why God gave contradictory commandments to Adam and Eve. We talked about how it could've been thousands of years before Eve and Adam partook of the fruit. Then I realized that Satan could've been tempting them all that time to eat the fruit. That's how he works. Slowly and patiently. But another thing I heard was a Joseph Smith quote when he conferred the Priesthood keys upon the Apostles: "Now the Church can grow faster than the Devil can tear it down!" Another Quote by Brigham Young is: "If you have a bad thought, tell it to go to Hell because that's where it came from."
This week went by so fast. I can't even describe the feelings I feel. I'm scared, but excited, but wanting to be in Ecuador. I've learned a lot and learned how much I need the Lord in my life. I'm constantly trying to better myself, and I know I can be great with the Lord by my side. The only pictures I have for the week are pictures of my district and with my teacher. I'm gonna miss them.
I love you guys, So much. And I pray for you daily.
¡Nos Vemos!
-Elder Sharp
