Ældste Mod Abroad: When you know what you know....

Tate found the church where his ancestors
were baptized (in Vejle).

Aloha everyone! It's felt like summer in Hawaii here this last week because of the humidity and temperatures, so I felt like that fit well, lol. I bet I am the only one who will find that funny but oh well hahah.

My week was great! I ate lots of good food and felt lots of birthday love! (Thank you to everyone who shot me an email or text! Love you all!) We also ate lots of cakes and cookies.... not mad about that in the slightest either, just a little worried about my sugar intake. I also had my final interview with President Olsen which was good, but sad. I'm gonna miss him, but I'm excited for the next chapter that begins here on the 30th! I am very grateful for the example and kindness that President Olsen has showed to me these last two years. I don't know where I would be without him. I have been very privileged to work so close to him these last 7 months.

I am not going to bore you with the details of my week so here are my thoughts from a fire devotional that we got from the general YM president, Steven Lund, on Sunday evening. He dropped the most fire quote that sums up my service as a missionary. He said, "When you know what you know, you do what you do." I have been blessed to have received a testimony of the gospel. I am here to spread that. I cannot deny the things I have felt. I can't even express my desire to share the happiness, peace and love that I have felt from this gospel. I know what I know and that is why I am out here doing what I am doing. Best two years of my life, for my life and for others' lives. People would risk life and limb to be out here doing what I am doing, others are incapable of doing what I am doing but they wish they could, so that makes it my responsibility to serve for them. I am very privileged to be out here sharing joy, peace, love and eternal happiness with my family. It's so special and I love it.

Also, I hit the amusement park that inspired Disneyland.... there is my flex for the week lol.
