Wats up!

I hope that all is good down there in the good old land of free and plenty lol. Its been pretty normal here...ive been recieving a lot of revelation here and its been nice but not much has been going on too much. Ive just been doing my best to learn how i can be a better missionary and be a better person. I really like what this article in the Liahona said..it was talking about what is pure testimony? and this article was awesome here are some things i liked. "Imagine you have a large box filled with puzzle pieces created just for you... When two pieces of your puzzle fit together, you know they belong. Testimonies work in a similar way. As you have spiritual experiences, different pieces of your testimony will start to fit together, and you will come to believe or know certain truths about the gospel.
Even if you don't know right now if everything about the Church is true, Heavenly Father will bless you and help you learn as long as you have a righteous desire to know and you sincerely try to learn." " Just as you can't take a completed puzzle out of the box without doing any work, you can't expect your testimony to come all at once. You learn, piece by piece, the truthfulness of the gospel." and this quote by Dieter F. Utchdorf "   Those who diligently seek to learn of Christ eventually will come to know Him. They will personally receive a divine portrait of the Master, although it most often comes in the form of a puzzle—one piece at a time. Each individual piece may not be easily recognizable by itself; it may not be clear how it relates to the whole. Each piece helps us to see the big picture a little more clearly. Eventually, after enough pieces have been put together, we recognize the grand beauty of it all. Then, looking back on our experience, we see that the Savior had indeed come to be with us—not all at once but quietly, gently, almost unnoticed." Laslty, Boyd K. Packer said this " A testimony is.... the moment when you have gone to the edge of the light and stepped into the darkness to discover that the way is lighted ahead for just a footstep or two."
 It was very inspiring and really helped me think of some cool teaching things :) So that was just some things that i thought were cool that id like to share from my study with you all. I am learning so much and im loving it...its tough because as a missionary God is constantly testing you...constantly but i know itll be worth it in the long run... things are going good :)
