ELDER KOOZER: “Satan wants us to be sad! Don’t do it!”

Well hey there! Thanks For the package Mom!! I got it today and right when I pulled out the dunford doughnuts they were gone in two seconds because I was surrounded by a bunch of Utah kids! haha! The Picture book and all the letters and drawings were awesome too!! Thanks!! What is that little pouch thing for?! I bet I could put lots snacks in it and carry it around with me throughout the day!

Wow Grandpa Robinson lasted a long time! He really was a huge blessing in our lives! I’m feeling really blessed from being here too! Honestly I haven´t really had a bad day yet! Yeah, bad things happen in life, but you can choose to be sad and don’t do anything or you can just look at it as a blessing! Because of these challenges I learn so much and I just am happy! Satan wants us to be sad! Don’t do it! Another blessing that I found that I have is that I don’t stress at all about things! When I first got here they gave me a bunch of “How to manage stress” books! I haven’t looked at one of them yet! I know that because I’m saying this I’m going to get hit with something hard… haha!

Well this week we had a big conference because our mission president wanted to change some stuff! He said he found a way to have more success! This week we weren’t really allowed to leave the house that much because we had to study a ton about Joseph Smith! When we teach investigators that’s all we are allowed to talk about for the first three lessons!! It seems crazy to do that, but Joseph Smith is the second most important person ever to live, after Jesus Christ! If you don’t have a testimony of Joseph Smith, Go get one! Read D&C 5:23-25! It will help when you pray to ask God if he was a true prophet! Also read Joseph Smith history! He was an amazing man! Every member of this church needs a strong testimony of him!

Well I love you so much!! have a great week!
