BRETT'S LETTER DEC. 1/08

Man sometimes we hear things that make us wonder and to think about what we are doing in life and what we need to make our life’s better to be ready to return to our heavenly father. We just have to remember that blessings come after our trials of faith. This life is a test and we will always be tempted because that is how we show our dedication to the lord and how we show our faith in him and his son. Satan is always trying to get us to fall so we can become miserable like him. I have been reading in a bunch of different books this week and something that stuck out to me is that the same war that was fought in heaven in still going on today. Satan is still trying to get a grasp on our hearts and lead us down and away from our savior and his gospel. We cannot fall into those temptations and let him gain power over us.
I have been thinking a lot about what I was going to write this week and I haven’t been able to think of anything. As I sit in this hard seat and type on this sticky keyboard all I can really think of is that we need to do as the lord told us to do and consider the lilies. We need to love life and everything that is in it. We need to always remember that everything we have and everything that we see was created by the lord and we need to thank him for everything that we have. We need to focus on the things that are important to us and the things that we will take with us after we pass away. Those things are the covenants that we make with our lord while we are on this earth, our knowledge that includes both temporal and spiritual, but most of all the most important thing that we take with us and that we can have for eternity is our families. I hope everyday that someday I will be able to be with the father with my family that I will have some day and with the family that I have right now. I love you all and I hope that all of you will do the things necessary in this life so that we can all live together in the life after this. I hope all of you know what you have to do to obtain this great gift that our lord has given to us and if you don’t, then you need to ask those people in the church that do. This is our time to do what we know we need to do. Don’t waste it, so when that day comes we won’t have any regrets. I promise that it will be a lot better if we do the things that are necessary.
Well know for a little about our week, not much happened but we baptized a little girl that was 12. She has a great family and we are helping them become active in the church again, all we need to do now is get the girls dad to feel the spirit and to be baptized. It has been pretty hot this week though and im wishing that it will start to cool down a little but I don’t think that it will happen. Well I love you all and thanks for everything. Until next week.
